    Do you have a video on how to make friends?

    This might be quite useful when paired with the free Autohotkey software. You could actually make it work so that pedal depression and release would have DIFFERENT functions!

    @mrichardson23 Man, you need to patent something like this specifically for gaming, maybe like 2-3 pedals. I’ve been searching forever for something to bind keys to as a foot pedal, it would help infinitely for gaming (such as World of Warcraft ability triggers, sprinting in FPS shooters, etc…).

    Here’s a cheap alternative:

    pinoytranscription.blogspot.com/2010/09/diy-usb-foot-switch.html

    It works well with ExpressScribe. I got the USB Gamepad for around PHP100 (a little over $2)

    Do you know how I could make a foot pedal for one or even several buttons on an xbox 360 controller? Probably would be easier to do for a wired controller. This would be good for people with disabilities who want to game.
