    With enough of them, you could poorly and inefficiently replicate the foot keyboard of an organ.

    They are generally used as a start/stop [play/pause] button for typists transcribing recorded audio material...

    My husband has a knitting machine and a program called Designaknit. You should connect the machine to the PC with a very expensive serial cable which has a reed switch worked by a magnet to count the rows as the machine carriage moves back and forth. The program will also count a row every time spacebar (or up arrow)is pressed. I have tried to make a homemafe cable to do the same thing but I have not had much success, The problem seems to be that the program will not respond to Sendkeys in the way I think it should. Any ideas?

    I used to look at sheet music in Adobe PDF on my monitor rotated into portrait mode. This would be PERFECT for the "Page Down" key to switch the page when I got to the end of page. (Actual digital sheet music displays are very expensive.)
