I was also thinking about doing a similar project. One question for you guys tho - how are you setting up the footboard to not conflict with the main keyboard... does vista recognize 2 keyboards at once? Program it as a game controller? What is the best course of action here.

Windows will recognize the input from multiple usb and ps/2 keyboards. One way that was suggested to use this with a regular keyboard is to tape the alt button down.

i really really really want to do this... i just am kinda not sure exactly how the knobs are mounted to the key itself... does one have to pop the key out, drill a hole IN the key.. and attach the knob on with the screw provided? I'm going to guess that's how it's done, but i'm not too sure.

That's how I did it. Had to take the keyboard apart because the screw head wouldn't fit through the key holes.

okie dokie, i will probably give this a whirl... oh one last thing.. how'd u go about making the actual hole in ur keys? i'm not sure if i have a drill that has a bit that small...

thanks again in advance, i love this idea!

I heated the tip of the screw and pushed it through the plastic.

This is a great idea. I think I would use it for ctrl, alt, and shift purposes.

This is a very nice idea

It'd be like the foot pedals on a piano but for WoW lol

Multiboxing - The Symphony lol

Very creative idea OP :thumbup:

Take a little fiberglass cloth and some resin and some paint and then you could probally sell these things for bank.

Very nice job.

wow this is awesome

Epic footboard

Was wondering how the Footboard was working out for everyone???
