Background

Our USB response pad is competitively priced and exceeds the specifications of any other response pad currently on the market. In HID keyboard mode appears to your experiment as a standard USB keyboard where a button, vocal response or visual stimulus registers as a standard key press.

In serial USB VCP mode independently timestamps all activity with millisecond accuracy and sends timestamped data to your experiments.

What's more every button press, vocal response or visual stimulus also produces a TTL event mark or TTL trigger!

1-10 button advanced USB response pad with millisecond timer, light sensor & voice key pricing


We are confident we have a response pad for you. If the standard 4 button response pad layout doesn't meet your needs you have the option to choose your own button colors and locations. For custom orders you will need to request a formal quotation.

All response pads ship with USB host leads and a single opto-detector to detect simple visual stimuli. A second opto-detector can be used for more complex visual stimuli, presentations at varying locations or for priming studies.

You also have the option of adding a TTL breakout board with 2x 8 bit ports with 13 lines, each of which produces a unique TTL event mark or trigger for the duration of a button press, voice key activation or opto-detector, light sensor or photodiode detection.
