Foot Pedals

[hannibal]

Has anyone tried using foot pedals? Maybe something like http://www.gamingmouse.com/gaming/fragpedal/quad/ . I think it might work for me, especially for my teamspeak key.

I pulled your inquiry about foot pedals out of the gaming mouse thread (kinda off-topic) but...

I'm actually interested in those foot pedals.

In the past, foot pedals have turned me off because the ones I've seen have been too high and with pedals
I'd like to be able to rest my foot right on top of the pedal until it was time to press them. If the pedal was
too high then I think my foot is going to feel weird after a short period of time.

I think I might pick up a set of duals from that site.

LOL, there'll be none of that for me. I sit cross-legged in my chair most of the time and chances are my cats would decide it's a good place to sleep.

I love this line on that page

I actually just purchased the Fragpedal Dual from them and used the wrong PayPal address
when placing the order (really need to switch my default address now that I moved). I
immediately called them up and a regular, non-scripted, person answered the phone and
fixed my order for me. The guy was super cool and was interested in what games I would be
playing with it. When I mentioned multiboxing WoW he knew exactly what that was and said
if I need any help what-so-ever setting up anything on the pedals to either e-mail them or
directly give them a call.

He also said that if I could think of any features that I would like to see implemented into
the software or the pedals themselves that they would love to know and that they're
always looking for ways to improve them. This guy sounded familiar and at the end of the
call I asked him if he was the same person from the YouTube tutorials (http://www.youtube.com/user/FragPedalQuad/videos) and he laughed and
said that he was.

First impression of this company, A+ all the way. Now we just have to see what these pedals
are like.

I have a USB pedal, but I don't really use it. It was a little cheap one that I wanted to test out. I used it as my dps spam key, and healed with my old spam keys. It can be pretty effective if you can keep up with all of the key mashing. I play the drums, so it is a bit easier for me to keep my foot tapping :P

Wow. I'd never thought about using another input device, like foot pedals. I could see it as being very useful in an arena situation where you need to mash out DPS all at the same time. Will definitely be checking these out and please keep us updated as to how the shipment and play experience is altered MiRai :)

Strafe left, strafe right. Seems a good keybind for them.

How did they work out?

Kind of off topic, but I remember about 4 years ago, one of the machines I boxed with was on the low end. It sat on a wood shelf under my desk that I rested my feet on. The old IDE HDD in there would spin up and grind whenever someone came in range that required it to start caching files. I could feel the vibration and it worked as an excellent early warning system and prevented countless surprise attacks and ganks.

it's funny how the topic of foot pedals seems to come back every 12-18 months lol

waiting for the new exercise-bike-with-wow contraption topic now ;-)

I once converted a table top pac-man game to require exercise bike. People thought it cute but nobody used it much.

With Kinect for Windows now, I want to see a WoW aerobics work out instead of just the exercise bike ;)

How did they work out?
Well, I received them in the mail weeks ago and I was too busy to set them up. I ended up forgetting about them until about 2 weeks ago where I actually plugged everything in. Right now, they're under my desk but... they still haven't been utilized. Setting them up keeps getting put on the backburner but, I'll update this post (or create another) when I do get them set up properly (might be some time from now:)).

the exercise bike could be your dps rotation.
