The page has a link to where you can get the footswitches, and there are both single and triple footswitches there. Direct links to the ones you might be most interested in are: http://www.pcsensor.com/index.php?_a=product&product_id=5 http://www.pcsensor.com/index.php?_a=product&product_id=150 http://www.pcsensor.com/index.php?_a=product&product_id=149 These all plug into the USB port. You might want to check out the others, too, but some of them are mechanical switches only, and wouldn't suit your purpose. I have no experience with these or the software, but I bookmarked them when they were mentioned here before, just in case.
