The sound of the pressed pedal is making me chuckle every time I hear it.

I've got this bad boy hooked up to my computer, and thanks several nifty bits of software, I've even set it up so that I can play SC2.

Is it practical? Lol fuck no. Good times though.

Honestly though I haven't tried just the foot pedals. I can see it being better than the 7-8 buttons on the keyboard for me at least, I already have 9 and 0 rebound to my mouse, and 7 and 8 are the only remaining keys I still sometimes miss on my keyboard.

Now, let's see what happens when I show up to MLG with this monstrosity...


Wow... if I would have known my Steel Battalion Peripherals could be hooked up to my PC... I probably would have never sold them :<

As mentioned; Hotkeys could do the same thing better. It does give me a good idea for a hotkey setup that doesn't require any illegal macros. Set up two hotkeys, say t & y. Set the t key to create location 2 & jump to location 1. Then set the y key to create location 1, and jump to location 2. This way you could easily switch back and forth between two locations using hotkeys, within the game's rules.

That's an illegal macro, though. You're performing two actions with one key-press.

A macro is a set of instructions that uses code outside of starcraft to execute. This would just be setting up the hotkeys, within starcraft, to do two actions at once. You would be setting two instructions to the same button.

One of these would be pretty nice, not only could you use it for SC2 but also bind it to work for other programs as well such as Illustrator/Photoshop and so on.

Oh, right. Well, I'm fairly sure Starcraft doesn't allow hotkey clashes, probably for that reason. Happy to be proven wrong, but I will always remember the game I lost because I rebound roach burrow to the same key as fungal and didn't notice until the engagement. Infestors need burrow too, ya know.

Hmmmm, use f2-f4 for this or a big ass pedal that requires you to use your feet. I think i'll stick with hotkeys. Funny idea though.

I'm a bit skeptical about whether or not this would be good or bad for competitive gaming, and whether it is even necessary or not. But regardless of that I just want to say that it is an awesome project haha. As a computer science student myself, I'm always very interested in cool things like this whether or not they are practical/useful. So I don't know if this is really necessary, but either way it looks fun =)

I'm sure any grandmaster play could use their hotkeys faster than pressing their foot on a pedal, but it's a nice innovation.


Yeah, but what if there was a separate keyboard to use with your toes? There are people who can play musical instruments with their feet, if pro gamers really want the best edge, having 20 digits to press keys with would surely be better than just 10.


I believe you do have a point, however I don't see this happening in the foreseeable future.In a few centuries perhaps.. however by then we will probably have access to mind reading machines wich seems like a way more efficient input device ^_^

I actually think camera keys isn't a bad idea. Except the best kind of pedal would be like a guitar stompbox pedal. I know they make some USB ones, I considered them back when I played WoW because you could have a stupid number of hotkeys in that game. In SC2 though you have so much going on, it's hard to work feet into that. Maybe some day, could be the next frontier in mechanics

This would be an interesting control method for people with muscular disabilities, or amputees. As it is, it doesn't do enough, but the concept is there, in a fetus-like manner. Other than that, I can't see much practical use for a finished version of this product.

You do realize you can make those hotkeys on your keyboard already without the foot pedal?

As a drummer, I'm really into this. This is actually easier than F1 for me, hahaha.
Make a lot of friends. Wear good clothes. Drink good beer. Love a nice girl.
