Default Using USB foot pedals

Hi all,

I'm working on a project with highly-programmable USB foot pedals for gaming and wanted to measure interest in the multiboxing community. It's got four pedals, 2 per foot.

Button features it supports:
different actions on press and release
different actions on short taps, medium presses, and long holds
configurable action cycles (so, different even/odd presses, or different actions on the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th press, etc. this is good for executing a chain of actions where you already know what you will press, but only need to concentrate on timing)
can turn commands into a toggle, or can un-toggle commands.
keyboard emulation & macros

Further, all of these button features can be assigned to your current controller and enhance your other USB devices. (It can't intercept their input, only shadow and enhance it).

Would this be helpful for WoW, or multiboxing in particular? I'm very interested to hear your guys' feedback. I don't want to spam or advertise on the forum, I just want to get your expert feedback. Feel free to reply here on the forum or email me at sdavenport87-at-gmail.com. Let me know your ideas!

thanks all

I will be getting one eventually. If you've got the coordination, then a foot pedal really is a good idea.

@ Carbs
My brand is a USB foot pedal. Would you insist on PS/2 , for multiboxing purposes?
Do you plan on using foot pedals for simple presses or macros? Would my foot pedal's ability to enhance keyboard commands or use advanced button types like press/release, tap/press/hold and toggles help you?

Thanks for your response. Hopefully, with your guys' input, I can introduce a sweet product to the multiboxing community
