The Infinity USB is a 3 switches foot control. I'm using it with a software named MusicReader to play acoustic piano or keyboard. I use it to advance or turn back electronic sheet music pages (PDF) . But MusicReader doesn't recognize Infinity pedal. So I installed a free application named Pedable from NCH Software to assign functions to pedal. It can emulate the keyboard or mouse clicks to control the software running in your computer. The pedal has three "switches", so you can configure three different commands from your computer (see note from Pedable help below).  In my configuration, normally I use only two of the three to control sheet music pages in MusicReader: CTRL+PgUp and CTRL+PgDn.In iTunes you can easily emulate the keyboard controls (Space Bar, CTRL+, etc) with Pedable. But remember, the pedal has only 3 switches. I expect it helps you. NOTE: Pedable is utility software that allows you to emulate key board and mouse functionality using foot pedals. Apart from this Pedable can also bind certain predefined application commands to a foot pedal. Using Pedable you can configure the foot pedals to control any software the runs on your computer, including word processors, games, media players etc...FeaturesSimulate key pressSimulate mouse clicksInsert custom textRun predefined commands

Question 2

I bought this foot pedal a few months ago and used it without a problem.  I tried using it today and it is not working.  Can someone help me?

I have been using this model for five years doing transcription.  It has had a glitch twice.  Once it needed to be cleaned by removing the four screws in the bottom and using canned air to blow out the dust.  The second time it started giving problems was today after a Windows 10 update.  It's response time was paused.  I had it plugged into a USB Hub.  I plugged it directly into my laptop and voila, that fixed it.  I was puzzled as I'd had it plugged into the hub for years, but at least that fixed it and it works like it's supposed to again.

Question 3

Can I reprogram the pedals to act as mouse-clicks in Windows? (RSI in hands) Would be for general use not just transcribing....

Pedalware (Windows) might do what you want.http://www.altoedge.com/pedalware/I'm on a Mac, and ControllerMate allowed me to configure the pedal to do exactly what I wanted with keystrokes, without being tied to one program or another.https://www.orderedbytes.com/controllermate/

Question 4

Does this foot pedal work with mac?

Accepted Answer

I haven't tried  it on a Mac. So I'm sorry I'm no help there . But if you find that it will work you'll love this pedal. I tried a v- pedal prior. There is no comparison  the infinity  has the perfect angle it doesn't slip across floor. Great pedal
