Old Keyboard == New Footboard

[glo]

Meet my new healer!

I did this little mod because I was having trouble healing in heroics. I was thinking of getting foot pedals and one of my neighbors threw an old keyboard away so decided to try something different.



A few uses of SetBindingMacro and some 77 cent knobs from wal-mart and this is the finished product.



My total cost was less then 5 bucks, even if you have to purchase a cheap keyboard for the project it can be done for $15.

I have a traditional tank, healer, 3 dps setup with the first button set to cast a big heal on the tank and a chain heal if alt is held. The other 4 buttons are just chain heal for each of the other 4 characters. It's pretty simplistic but it's helped me with both the tanking and healing since my hand doesn't need to leave the main keyboard to heal at all.

Very creative. I'll keep this in mind, although I'm worried if I start 'spamming' with my foot inch:

Needs some padding around the keys.

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

lolz, I almost bought the X-Keys foot Pedal. this is cheaper, & way more ghetto. I love it.

Never thought to use my feet, I so want to make one myself... Always had troubles with reaching some keys while fighting.... this is a great idea! Thanks! Ill send a picture of mine some day.

LOL- that's awesome. I would suggest socks, or a regular cleaning schedule. >)

Wow, that's pretty cool. What did you use to attach the knobs to the keyboard?

Wild guess would be superglue from the looks :P
