I'm not sure what I would use it for, but honestly, I can see myself getting one. One of the triple versions, that is. I just don't know why.

Kantastic · Jun 24, 2010

I'd buy one to scratch my foot with.. that's about it.

Phxprovost · Jun 24, 2010

i cant think of one thing these would be good for that the 20 extra buttons on my keyboard and mouse cant already do

caleb · Jun 24, 2010

Rocco Sifredi deluxe edition? xD

You know, some guys have 3 legs xDDDDDDD

arroyo · Jun 24, 2010

Few years ago...when I've had long hair and electric guitar, I bought cheap (3$) usb keyboard with big space button. Removed all other buttons and used it as guitar effect switch for Guitar FX software. That was so Getto!

FreedomEclipse · Jun 24, 2010

I was gonna say "great - i'll take 2 of these for my guitar amp" but then they are USB only :eek:

gumpty · Jun 24, 2010

I'll get one of these for work. My boss can probably spot me scrambling to Alt-Tab or click away from what page I'm reading - but they wont see me quietly tap this with my foot to switch back to the spreadsheet.

Also, this could be useful for FPS games. Assign a different weapon to each peddle.

DaC · Jun 24, 2010

Let me see if I get it straight... 3 buttons of a mouse for $59.00 ? :laugh:

Is it at least like joystick pedals ? I guess not, right ?

Zehnsucht · Jun 24, 2010

This would be pretty cool to act as a crouch (spelling?) and jump for FPS. I always have crouch enabled only as long as the button is pressed, and for long times it can hurt my finger.

douglatins · Jun 24, 2010

Announces? Its on sale on FrozenCPU.

You missed my point. Price is probably right for it. But is it useful at all ?
It must be, for a guy or two......

douglatins · Jun 24, 2010

Maybe for hands free porn media control?

kaosII · Jun 24, 2010

Only thing usefull I could think of is for a DAW.
Punching in an out for overdubs, or for adding or changing effects while recording.

Fragman · Jun 24, 2010

weee activate ventrilo with foot weee me want one

erixx · Jun 24, 2010

cant wait to plug my electric guitar and start the wahwah etcetera experiments, lol

Batou1986 · Jun 24, 2010

Im pretty sure there on off switches no potentiometer sorry to ruin everyone's guitar / gas brake dreams

Baum · Jun 25, 2010

build it yourself!
some footswitch + RS232 (Com port) + C Programm = Diy Pedal to run apps

tkpenalty · Jun 28, 2010

niiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiice. Been looking for something like this for aeons already!

No potentiometers needed, just on off. Tap on to overdud tap off too stop. As for effects, all parameters already loaded in Cubebase, Calkwalk, just easier to turn them on or off with your foot in real time than to "Fix it in the Mix". Obviously no real wah pedal, but could turn on a comb filter.
Hell of a lot cheaper than buying the switches that already exist for this purpose.

Peace.....
