Kinesis Advantage2 Single Pedal FS007RJ11 — Hands-Free Programmable Foot Switch

The Kinesis Advantage2 Single Pedal (FS007RJ11) is a purpose-built programmable foot switch designed for the Kinesis Advantage and Advantage2 keyboard families.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Kinesis Advantage2 Single Pedal FS007RJ11?

The FS007RJ11 is a single programmable foot switch designed for Kinesis Advantage and Advantage2 keyboards. It connects via RJ-11 jack to the underside of the keyboard and can be programmed to perform any key action, modifier, macro, or mouse click — completely hands-free.

Which keyboards is the FS007RJ11 compatible with?

The FS007RJ11 is compatible with all Kinesis Advantage models and the Kinesis Advantage2 (KB600 series). It is not compatible with the Advantage360 (which uses the FS360 with USB-C) or any non-Kinesis keyboard.

How do I connect the FS007RJ11 to my keyboard?

Simply plug the RJ-11 connector into the telephone-style jack on the underside of your Advantage or Advantage2 keyboard. No drivers or software are required for basic operation — it connects and works immediately.

How do I program the foot pedal?

You can program the FS007RJ11 two ways: (1) via the SmartSet App for Windows, which provides a graphical interface for assigning key actions and macros, or (2) using onboard keyboard programming shortcuts stored directly in the keyboard's memory.

What actions can I assign to the pedal?

You can assign virtually any key action: modifiers (Shift, Ctrl, Alt, Cmd), layer toggle keys (numeric keypad), frequently used keys (Space, Tab, Enter, Escape, F-keys), mouse clicks, or custom macros. It's a flexible hands-free input channel for any workflow.

Will this foot pedal help reduce my hand and wrist strain?

Yes. Offloading modifier keys and repetitive shortcuts to your foot reduces the total number of keystrokes your hands perform, which can meaningfully reduce cumulative strain — particularly for users with RSI, carpal tunnel syndrome, or tendinitis. Our certified ergonomic specialists can help you build a complete hands-free workstation strategy. Learn about our ergonomic consulting services.

Is this good for carpal tunnel syndrome or RSI?

Yes. Distributing keyboard workload between hands and feet reduces the repetitive motion burden on the wrists and hands. The FS007RJ11 is frequently recommended by occupational therapists as part of a conservative management strategy for carpal tunnel syndrome, tendinitis, and RSI.

How does the FS007RJ11 compare to the FS360 for the Advantage360?

Both are single-pedal Kinesis accessories, but they are not interchangeable. The FS007RJ11 uses an RJ-11 connector and is designed for the Advantage/Advantage2 keyboard family. The FS360 uses USB-C and is designed exclusively for the Advantage360 SmartSet. Match the pedal to your specific keyboard model.

How does this compare to the Savant Elite2 standalone foot pedals?

The FS007RJ11 is a keyboard-integrated pedal — it works only with Advantage/Advantage2 keyboards and is programmed through SmartSet. The Savant Elite2 family are standalone USB foot pedals that work with any computer and any keyboard, with their own programming software. If you don't own an Advantage or Advantage2, the Savant Elite2 is the right choice.

Will the pedal slide around on the floor?

No. The FS007RJ11 includes a self-adhesive hook-and-loop tab that anchors the pedal to the floor, preventing accidental movement during use.

Is the FS007RJ11 suitable for call center or high-volume data entry environments?

Absolutely. The FS007RJ11 is well-suited for call center, healthcare, and data entry environments where employees type for 6–8+ hours per day. Assigning the numeric keypad toggle or modifier keys to the foot pedal significantly reduces hand fatigue in high-repetition roles.

Is it durable enough for daily professional use?

Yes. The FS007RJ11 is built to withstand thousands of activations and is designed for intensive daily professional use in offices, labs, healthcare settings, and call centers.
