I asked this a few years ago with no results, but since technology changes daily…
I was wondering if anyone knows of a USB footswitch that I can use to page down (or up I suppose) on my Kindle/laptop/etc. ?
I really only need a page down function.
It would be nice not to have to put the entire song on one page (especially long songs).
Hi Tres:
Not sure about Kindle but with my Macs I use a Bilia Foot time. I have an older version so it does not work with IPad but is fine for laptop or desktop. The new version works with IPad

There are also bluetooth footswitches

I use MusicReaderPro software with my IPad2 and usually get everything on one page when I set up my PDFs. Lyrics and Chords not dots.

Hope this helps.

Thanks Brian, that’s just what I was looking for. I’ll have to research and make sure it works with a Kindle, but it’s the kind of device I had in mind.
Excellent!
Well is my face red! 
Turns out the Kindle has no usb or bluetooth connection or capability - so a footswitch is not an option… 
Well, it was a good idea…
Ain’t technology great. Here’s a pic of my rig with IPAD2 using ICLIP and an old mike stand/drink holder I hadn’t been using. Works for me but there will be a plethora of new solutions in the coming months. Hope you find a solution that works for you.
Cheers!

and another view
I did the same thing -But mine mounts below the boom of my vocal mic. Same clip - iPad 1 refurb.
Using OnSong software for lyrics and chords.
Supports foot pedals too.
Great! Since I use wireless Headset and wireless guitar I can be flexible on the mount. Also can switch orientation to landscape in which I would definitely need a footswitch. Only time I would do this is if I was out doors and wearing polarized sunglasses. Can’t read IPad2 with sunglasses on in portrait mode.
Cheers!

Hey guys, I just got an iPad gen 1 refurb and am looking for a mic stand mount for it. I’m looking at a couple of options and the iklip is one of them. Am I right in assuming that you cannot mount the iPad to the iKlip while in a protective case? I have mine in an OtterBox case, and I’m reluctant to have it unprotected in the mount.
Hi Scanman413
For my IPad2 I cannot use any kind of protective case but have no issues as it slides in nice and tight and the design makes it quite secure. The original IKiip for the IPad operates the same way I believe.
Cheers!
