6. Pedal?

I have several of the musical instrument variety, using one on the Roland Keyboard daily.
But it's just an open-closed switch.

The USB ones can be used as page-turners with software such as ForScore and perhaps with PDF-reading programs to flip pages.

I pay ForScore a little extra to get the "gesture" functionality, so a face gesture can turn pages.

I was looking into various pedal devices (USB seems to be the standard) until I found this feature.

I never looked into the details. I can't play fast enough, but I'm working on it.
