An ophthalmic surgery system includes an ophthalmic surgical console and a foot control assembly operably coupled to the ophthalmic surgical console and including a foot pedal depressible through a range of motion. The range of motion includes a first region for controlling a first function associated with a surgical handpiece operably coupled to the ophthalmic surgical console, a second region for controlling a second function associated with the surgical handpiece, and a transition point between the first region and the second region. The ophthalmic surgical console is configured to assign the transition point, in response to a setup routine, to an actual position of the foot pedal as defined by a user depressing the foot pedal.
