Pads: The Fragpedal Elite features 2 (7” x 4” x ½”) sleek low-profile molded ABS flat black pads with chrome plated end caps. Each pad hosts two tough ITO rubber membrane switch buttons and each can be positioned individually for optimum ergonomic ease of use. Non-skid rubber base keeps pads in place on flooring or carpet.
Smart Buttons - The 4 buttons are controlled by embedded microprocessor technology that enables multi-command capability for strategic game control
• Press – acts like a standard mouse button or keyboard key. Can send a single command or a multi-command macro
• Press/Release - sends a command when pressed and another when released. Can function as a command doubler
• Toggle – Send one command on odd presses and another on the even presses. Converts game commands that require a button or key to be held down to a single tap.
• Timed Multi-Use – Microprocessor timing of button presses enables a different command to be sent on a single click or tap, a double click, or normal press. That’s 3 different commands from the same single button!
• Shift – Pressing a Shift button “shifts” the 3 other buttons to a second function, adding 3 additional control options.
Integrated Keyboard - Just like its mate the R2 gaming mouse, the Fragpedal contains the capability of a full-function PC keyboard with four modifier keys and 6-key rollover.
Tap a button and
• Press a keyboard key
• Send a key combo
• Type – send pre-programmed text to the game at up to 750 WPM
