{"product_id":"quester-switchbox","title":"Quester Switchbox","description":"\u003ch2\u003eA wired switch interface allowing gamers a variety of modes for navigation in games.\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eQuester Switchbox\u003c\/b\u003e is a simple USB device for achieving PC game play using assistive switches. Six 3.5mm sockets are provided, the functions of which are set by selecting one of four Levels. Levels 1-3 are fixed function, whereas each socket in Level 4 can be programmed to be any key on the keyboard or a mouse click, plus some gaming specific functions such as Latching W, A, S or D \u003ci\u003e(see table 2 for a full list of available functions)\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA seventh socket is dedicated to changing Level so the player can navigate between Levels without requiring assistance. Alternatively, this may be achieved using a button on the fascia of \u003cb\u003eQuester Switchbox\u003c\/b\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLevels 1 and 2 are configured for navigation within a range of games, whereas Level 3 allows weapons to be selected or similar functions, dependent on the game. And due to its programmable nature, Level 4 can be whatever you need it to be.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLevel 4 is programmed using a simple and unique method that requires no software to be loaded onto the PC. Once each socket on Level 4 has been configured, the settings are saved in the \u003cb\u003eQuester Switchbox\u003c\/b\u003e internal memory and are automatically recalled even if the computer is turned off or the switchbox moved to a different computer.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe provision of Latching W, A, S and D functions allows the player to walk or run in any direction indefinitely, leaving hands free for other functions. Sticky* and Latching Modifiers further add to the programmability to allow unique combinations of functions to be created. An example of this could be if you require a switch to perform Sticky Shift, then another key, in order to create a capital letter.\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe unit requires no drivers- simply plug it into an available USB port and play!\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ctable align=\"center\" border=\"1\" cellpadding=\"10\"\u003e\n\u003ccaption\u003eQuester Switchbox functions\u003c\/caption\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eLevel 1\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eLevel 2\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eLevel 3\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eLevel 4 (Default)\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eW\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cb\u003e↑\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSpace\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eA\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cb\u003e⟵\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTab\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eS\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cb\u003e↓\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e3\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eShift\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eD\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cb\u003e⟶\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e4\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCtrl\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLeft Click\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eEscape\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e5\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLatching-w\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRight Click\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eEnter\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e6\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCaps\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003e* Sticky modifiers stay selected once pressed until the next switch has been pressed. For example, make one socket Sticky Shift and another the w key. First press and release Sticky Shift and then press w and you will get capital W. A further press of w will return lower case w, i.e. the sticky shift has now cancelled.
