Custom built devices & consultancy pricing


At the Black Box ToolKit we have the capability to offer one off custom-built devices depending on your requirements. Some recent examples are shown below.

We also offer consultancy, integration and training services to help you achieve consistently accurate timing whatever the paradigm.

Hand-held response buttons for our USB response pads and response boxes.




Laser cut profiles which permanently attach to a stimulus presentation monitor so that visual event markers can be fed into a BBTK v3 or mBBTK v2 without a participant seeing them. The profile has two built-in opto-dectectors. Can either be used vertically or horizontally depending on the monitor it is attached to.

Profiles are manufactured to exactly fit your monitor and come in a range of materials and colors.
