The hardest part of this review, is giving a the Good Work Systems Fragpedal Elite a score. There are no similar devices out there, so we have nothing to compare it against. That raises the question if the price tag is justified for the functions given and if these functions are useful while gaming or in everyday use. As for price, the Fragpedal Elite are quite pricey, as you can buy yourself a very good keyboard mouse combination for just under $70 ($80) US Dollars. So if anything, the functions need to prevail. This is where the Fragpedal Elite really shines. With a highly customizable configuration built into device, which can easily be accessed from the Configuration Utility the amount of engineering under the hood becomes apparent. Using the Fragpedals is great and a lot of fun, but I cannot see them becoming a permanent addition to the Keyboard and Mouse we use today.
