Bluetooth Foot-control Page Turner

This solution is designed for use with one or more manufactured products. UPDATE: I've added a wake button that can be attached to the device, as shown in the picture. This allows the zero key to be pressed and wake up the keypad's Bluetooth transmission if it goes to sleep too often to save battery life. If you've priced any full-featured Bluetooth foot-control page turners recently, then you'll know why a low-cost alternative might be of interest. Here's a device for using a cheap Bluetooth keypad as a foot-operated page turner. The device is set back to "4" and forward to "+". This particular design is tailored to accommodate a popular style of Bluetooth keypad with 4 round feet, measuring approximately 125mmX85mmX18mm (as shown in the picture). The holder for the keypad traps the round feet at its lower end, keeping it from sliding around due to its own weight (also shown in the picture). Adequate space has been left below "fingers" to attach a rubber or felt foot that will make contact with the keys. The pedals have limited travel by design to prevent damage to the keypad. Pockets may be added or remixed to accommodate other keypads of slightly different shapes and sizes.
