	Black Box Toolkit USB Response Pad with Voice Key All the great features of our standard USB Response Pad but with an integrated voice key. If your participants make a vocal response this also produces a standard key press and TTL event mark/trigger! Simple to use and simple to setup with tunable vocal activation threshold. It's your choice whether to use it as a standard response pad or use it as a voice key. Supplied complete with headset.	£428
	16 channel TTL breakout board The breakout board provides an additional 16 high speed multipurpose TTL lines/TTL triggers (8 input/8 output). Ideal for event marking, synchronization or TTL based response devices. Note: BBTK v2 16 Channel TTL Breakout Boards are NOT compatible and new v3 versions must be used.	£120
	Robotic Response Key Actuator Press keys on your own response devices, e.g. laptop keys, response pads etc. with our robotic finger. Unobtrusive and noninvasive. Can also be used to make responses on devices with either resistive or capacitive touch screens, e.g. Android tablets, iPads, iPhones or other touch screen devices etc.	£362
	API & SDK guide Printed documentation detailing our software API which allows you to control the BBTK from your own applications and decode timing data. The BBTK is controlled via a virtual serial COM port over a USB connection using simple four letter commands.	£120
