Review on Donner Wireless Page Turner Pedal: πŸ“± Rechargeable, Silver - Perfect for Tablets and Phones by Wagner Witlin

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great pedal but doesn't send correct codes for PgUp/PgDn for Mac.

Mine also came with the center module hanging on flimsy wires but everything seems to work when I snap the center component in place. I am using a Mac. So if the Mac app is specifically programmed to receive the standard PageUp/PageDown event codes, as opposed to the Mac's standard fn up/down arrow for PageUp/Down, the app just sits there while you are happy Press the pedal (SongBook for Mac does not work with the Donner pedal). It would be great if Donner let you program Pg/Up Pg/Dn for Mac. However, if the application intercepts non-Mac pageUp/pageDown (ChordPro Buddy, MusicReader, MacOS Preview) - pageUp, pageDown, ArrowUp, ArrowDown works fine. I like the ability to switch from paging to line spacing etc. No need to rebind, it just works. The battery lasts well and falls asleep after 25 minutes of inactivity. Overall the design feels great - it doesn't slide across the floor like the AirPed does. I would give the Donner pedal 5 stars if I could get it to send Fn-ArrowUp/Fn-ArrowDown for PgUp and PgDwn for my Mac.

Pros
  • Easy to read control panel
Cons
  • There are new competitors
