The DirectIN Button-Box provides accurate response data with unsurpassed speed. Attractive and easy to use, this USB box will get response data to your PC or Mac in under a millisecond.

The DirectIN High Speed Button-Box v2008 offers researchers a sleek, exceptionally durable and user-friendly method of collecting response data with virtually any software application. The time it takes for a button press to reach your computer is less than 1 millisecond. Whether you are using a Mac or a PC, simply unpack it, plug it in, and you are ready to go. It works with virtually all software because the computer will simply think someone is pressing the keys 1 through 9 on a regular USB keyboard. You can also have professional-looking response labels in no time. Printed labels of any kind can be slipped easily under the clear protective button covers.

Engineering & Materials

The DirectIN buttons are beautifully engineered and designed with top of the line input switches. When you press one of these buttons you get a nice tactile feedback and a soft click to know that you have pressed it. The soft click engineering is a great advantage when you have many participants pressing a lot of buttons in the same room. The DirectIN box itself is made from durable cold-rolled steel and finished with a tough white powdercoat--this basically means that it is going to last and look good for a long time.
