Configuring a third-party device
You can use a third-party controller or remote with Presentation Prompter if it can be configured to send key presses. Many devices come with configuration software. Configuring a device is a matter of associating a hardware action (such as a button click) with a menu shortcut or Hot Key in Presentation Prompter.
For example, if you want the middle button on a device to perform a Start/Pause action, you would use the device’s configuration software to have it send a keystroke for ⌘⏎ because that is the menu shortcut for Start/Pause. Alternatively, you could have the device send a space bar keystroke (or whatever Hot Key you have set for Start/Pause in Controls settings) and the device will fire the action only in Prompt mode. Using a menu shortcut can allow a button to perform in both modes (if the menu item is enabled in both modes), while using a Hot Key is generally more responsive for actions that are repeated often in Prompt mode (like speed changes).
Ripeware cannot provide technical support for third-party devices or another vendor’s configuration software.
