Never realized pedals like this existed. Definitely could see these being useful
That’s actually a lot more interesting then I thought it was gonna be.
Nice video. Waaaay Overpriced for what’s actually a simplified keyboard or Bluetooth keyboard for the foot. Should cost same as a basic keyboard. There’s no fancy hardware here.
LMAO at the price of these simple controllers.
Lol
I think there are apps you can download that may help teach you guitar. Where you won’t have to spend $200+ dollars
would be useful for people missing hands or arms too. cool product.
This could actually be used for cooking, crafting, art and many other things where your hands are occupied or dirty… Love it.
interesting
I love with most Elgato products, the stream deck and their mic are first rate
From a guitar player standpoint, this is a waste of money. If I am going to spend $200+ on pedals, I am going to buy guitar effects pedals instead for something that just can make controlling my computer easier for watching lessons. You can buy a cheap gaming keyoboard with macro capability and program those controls.
It’s supposed to be hard, suck it up buttercup!
Nice to see foot pedals featured on a mainstream channel! I use 3 foot pedals currently when playing FPS games: a single pedal for my left foot, and a double pedal for my right foot. I just bought cheap plastic USB pedals on Amazon for between $20 and $40.
There are sometimes a lot of controls to use when playing games and I found my motion and sometimes my aiming being hampered by trying to do too much with just my hands. For example, I use the left foot pedal for either slow-walking in the game (hold it down to do so) or to just switch to my secondary weapon quickly (single press), depending on the game. The latter is usually required during the middle of a gun-fight when you run out of ammo in your mag, so to be able to make this switch with my foot instead of my hand is very helpful. With the right two pedals, I use them for voice chat during the games. I get sick and tired of listening to people in my squad breathing, coughing, sneezing, or talking to others in their home because they don’t use push-to-talk. I vowed to myself that I would not be that inconsiderate to others when I’m gaming, but I also found it annoying to pull a finger away from either moving or aiming to talk to my squad during a fight. So, I set the two right pedals for push-to-talk — one pedal for discord, the other for in-game voice chat. I use two pedals because if I use just one for both, then my squad in discord always hears me echoing in game.
For me, foot pedals make playing games easier and doesn’t pull focus away from using my hands for movement and aiming. Thanks again for featuring foot pedals on the channel.
Way overpriced for what they do. Search for USB foot pedals. You can find programmable 3 pedal units for $40 or less
Not as advertised…caveat emptor…you have to do all this goofy crap to get it to work…you have to disable your keyboard on all devices which means you have no control once you connect to it. You can not use it with YouTube…you have to watch video inside a browser (only Safari which sucks IMO) which means your screen has all the tabs and other crap on it. If won’t work with Apple TV and if you connect it to a device and stream that device to another device so you can watch videos on a large screen you still get all the goofy browser window crap. It works, just not as clean and simple as they claim. I’m just saying…know what you’re buying and what this video nor the maker does not disclos
