Kinesis FS32A Triple Foot Pedal — Three Programmable Pedals, Total Hands-Free Control

The Kinesis FS32A Triple Foot Pedal gives you three independent programmable foot pedals in a single low-profile unit — the most versatile hands-free input solution in the Kinesis Savant Elite2 family. With dual connectivity options (USB and RJ-11), full SmartSet programmability, and low-force activation, it's the professional standard for transcriptionists, video editors, audio engineers, gamers, programmers, and accessibility users who need to offload multiple keyboard and mouse actions to their feet.

Each pedal is independently programmable to perform any keystroke, modifier, macro, or mouse click. The FS32AJ-JSB model adds a USB connection for standalone use with any PC or Mac, while the FS32A-JSB connects directly to Kinesis keyboards via RJ-11. Both models include a 10-foot RJ-11 cable and 6-foot USB cable for flexible desk positioning.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Kinesis FS32A Triple Foot Pedal?

The FS32A is a three-pedal programmable foot switch from Kinesis. Each pedal is independently assignable to any keystroke, modifier, macro, or mouse click via SmartSet. It's available in two models: FS32A-JSB (RJ-11 for Kinesis keyboards) and FS32AJ-JSB (USB + RJ-11 for standalone or keyboard use).

What is the difference between the FS32A-JSB and FS32AJ-JSB?

The FS32A-JSB connects via RJ-11 only and is designed for use with Kinesis keyboards (Advantage2, Freestyle2 Blue). The FS32AJ-JSB adds a USB connection, making it compatible with any PC or Mac as a standalone device — no Kinesis keyboard required. For most users, the FS32AJ-JSB is the more versatile choice.

How do I program the FS32A pedals?

You can program each pedal 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 in the connected Kinesis keyboard's memory.

What actions can I assign to each pedal?

Each pedal can be independently assigned to any keystroke, modifier (Ctrl, Alt, Shift, Cmd), macro, shortcut sequence, or mouse click. Common assignments include play/pause/rewind for transcription, modifier holds for programming, and action keys for gaming.

Is the FS32A compatible with transcription software?

Yes. The FS32A is widely used by medical and legal transcriptionists. When connected via USB (FS32AJ-JSB), it's compatible with most transcription software that supports keyboard or joystick input, including Express Scribe and InqScribe. Assign play, pause, rewind, and fast-forward to three pedals for fully hands-free playback control.

How does the FS32A compare to the FS22AJ dual pedal?

The FS32A provides three dedicated built-in pedals — ideal for workflows that consistently need three distinct foot inputs (e.g., play, pause, rewind). The FS22AJ dual pedal provides two pedals plus an optional third input via an external jack, which suits users who need two primary inputs with occasional third-input use. Choose the FS32A if you need three always-accessible foot controls.

Will the FS32A help reduce hand and wrist strain?

Yes. Offloading three keyboard or mouse actions to your feet significantly reduces the repetitive motion burden on your hands and wrists. This is particularly beneficial 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 the FS32A good for carpal tunnel syndrome or RSI?

Yes. Distributing keyboard and mouse workload between hands and feet is a clinically recognized strategy for managing carpal tunnel syndrome, tendinitis, and RSI. The FS32A is frequently recommended by occupational therapists for professionals who perform high-repetition keyboard tasks.

Can I use the FS32A without a Kinesis keyboard?

Yes — with the FS32AJ-JSB model. It connects via USB to any PC or Mac and works as a standalone programmable foot pedal. The FS32A-JSB (RJ-11 only) requires a compatible Kinesis keyboard.

Which Kinesis keyboards are compatible with the FS32A?

The FS32A is compatible with the Kinesis Advantage2 (KB600 series) and Freestyle2 Blue wireless keyboards, as well as other Kinesis keyboards with RJ-11 ports. It is not compatible with the Advantage360 (which uses USB-C accessories).

Is the FS32A suitable for gaming?

Yes. Assign jump, crouch, reload, or other actions to three foot pedals for faster response times and reduced hand fatigue during extended gaming sessions. The low-force activation makes rapid triggering comfortable over long sessions.

Is the FS32A durable enough for daily professional use?

Yes. The FS32A is built for thousands of daily activations and is backed by a 2-year limited manufacturer warranty. It's designed for intensive daily use in professional environments including medical offices, studios, call centers, and legal firms.

Can I use the FS32A in a healthcare or clinical environment?

Yes. The FS32A is widely used in healthcare and clinical settings for hands-free computer control during patient documentation, transcription, and dictation. Its low-force activation and durable construction make it well-suited for clinical workstations.
