Hello,

I'm interested in making a driver for the Kinesis Savant Elite
Programable USB Foot Switches[1].
[1]+1 says
Linux, Sun and other Non Windows Platforms
 Requires available USB port. Uses generic drivers provided by the
operating system. Due to the heterogeneity in these platforms, we cannot
guarantee compatibility with these systems. However, if your system can use
any USB mouse and keyboard, it will probably work with a Savant or Savant
Elite foot switch.

I guess it's ordinary input device without any special driver needs.

It sends ordinary mouse and keyboard commands, but you need a driver to program it what commands to send, and that's the part I want to cover: " it can be easily reprogrammed on a Windows [and only Windows] PC to perform any keyboard action or key combination."

But you didn't even mention that. Then try to search for usb ids in the tree and also in google.
