Anyone has tried adding a *foot* control?

[zenga]

Was thinking about this while I saw my nephew playing a race game: he has a wheel/pedals to control the car. Not that I plan to play WoW with a steering wheel, but I can think of situations where a pedal could add functionality. For example: I use mainly my numpad to spam my macros and my left hand to control my chars. I've made 10 extra ctrl+numpad and 10 alt+numpad keybinds. But I never use those cause I move my toons around with my left hand, so no time to hold ctrl/alt. With a left pedal bound to ctrl and a right to alt, it could be easier without losing control. Another situation could be that the pedal only heals. Activating a heal with my foot wouldn't distract me from tanking/dps.

I don't own such a device, but was just curious if anyone has tried this; and if so, if it really works.

I own 2x Xkeys PS/2 foot pedals.

Its a good idea and it works great - when I remeber to use them.

I use a carpentry hacked pedal from a usb numpad keyboard similar to the foot pedal mod that was posted from Germany not that long ago. It does slave movement and two other spells.

So I lend my nephews pedals and it works great. Only using 1 for now: right is bound to my healer. Have to return them in an hour, but 100% sure I'm gonna order 1. Even thinking what 2 sets of pedals could do ...

I just found this site. This sounds even better than racing pedals. Anyone knows this product?

Haven't used it, but they do look cool. Wonder if I could mount one for a head banging position?

As a non native english speaker and with a vivid fantasy, your quote is confusing me.

He wants to mount one of the foot switches in a postion that could be pressed by his head.

"head banging" is a "heavy metal" music thing...

Apologies, I forget how global WoW and multi-boxing are.

Fur, the other and probably older use of the term is hitting your head on something out of frustration. Which was where I was going. "Aggghhh wiped again!" head hits the pedal something happens.
