Installation is as snap. You just plug the foot pedal into a free USB (Universal Serial Bus) port.
My first introduction to foot pedals was not successful. The separate small light foot pedals for the Kinesis keyboard would not stay put. I could not find them with my feet. I had much more success with the much heavier Olympus RS23 unit for transcription. However, the drivers did not work with my new Windows 7 OS (Operating System). Even though a USB foot pedal driver is about as simple as drivers come, if Microsoft or your foot pedal manufacturer does not write new drivers for each model of footpedal for each new OS, your foot pedal becomes useless. Further, every piece of transcription software supports just a tiny subset of the possible footpedals. Upgrades may not longer support your model. Microsoft is to blame. It has not defined a standard foot pedal API (Application Programming Interface) the way it has for other types of hardware. Once they do, foot pedals will become interchangeable, like mice or hard disks.
