This video is better, because it has babes in it.
What they seem to be trying is to sell an instrument for musicians to computer users.

I've always wondered if I could make a foot board of some sort useful. I'm only $100 curious though, not $289.95.

Just having a couple foot pedals for Ctrl and Alt would be nice. I had rigged up some flight sim pedals at one point to do just that, but really what you need is something like a piano foot pedal.

I use footpedals when I'm playing on my PSR 6000 Yamaha Keyboard.
One pedal for fading and the other for stop/start rythem/effects.

Use them since 1995.

I have pedals for my datahand, but I don't use them. Couldn't get used to them. I like to move my legs, cross my legs, spread my feet, etc. and with pedals you have to always sit in some kind of operating position. I guess it depends on the pedal, but it is also slower and needs more force than a keyboard key, which seems logical, but it gets tiring like driving a car in slow traffic.

Business idea: pedal shoes. Flip flops with switches in them.

If enough people hype it up, maybe KBC or Leopold will manufacture it ;)
