This application allows you to configure and customize your Encore Plus device. Encore Plus is a Bluetooth 5.2 (Bluetooth Low Energy) interface to connect one or more switches to a computer, tablet, smartphone and other devices wirelessly, with minimal power consumption. Compatible with most desktop and mobile platforms, Encore Plus allows you to create adaptations in a very flexible manner. Each of its eight switch inputs can be independently configured to perform any of these actions: - Mouse: move the cursor, left, right or double click, drag and drop ... - Keyboard: press a key or combination of keys. - Joystick: move the bar of a joystick, or press any of its buttons. - Multimedia: control the volume, play and stop, navigate through menus ... Encore Plus can become anything you want: a button-controlled mouse, a keyboard, an adapted joystick, a remote control for your audio and video players... or a combination of all that.
