KINGMAS USB Game Foot Control Keyboard Action Switch Pedal HID

I was surprised how well this works. You need to install software for Windows (supplied on a mini CD) to program what it sends when pressed. Software is in Chinese or English and is meant for all other products made by PCSensor. After configuration, you do not need any special drivers to run it.I can't quite figure out everything in the software (example - I can get on-screen keyboard to work) and it definitely have a few minor bugs. If you run into trouble, just exit and run it again. Basically you can set it to do :1) a single key2) a string3) move mouseWith single key, you can have it just send one key (even if you hold the pedal down) - called "single press", or have it auto repeat after a short delay just like your keyboard keys - called "long press", You can send the keypress with Alt, Ctrl, Windows, Shift, or mouse clicks in any combination.For a string, the text "Inside square brackets is the function key" was displayed. I'm not sure what that means. I could not figure out how to include any control or function keys in the string. Normal text strings work just fine.Move mouse is interesting. You can program it to move your mouse by a certain number of pixels on the X and Y axes, as well as scroll the wheel. I suppose you can use this for ultra precise movement - move 1 pixel to the right, for example. Or you can program in a large movement - say 100 pixels to the right, plug this into your victim's computer without them knowing, and proceed to spook the heck out of them. They will probably panic thinking their computer has been hacked or that it's infected by a virus. I'm not responsible for any injuries sustained as a result of this prank.Some other uses for this : Boss Key - program this to Windows M to minimize all open windows (your boss will probably wonder why you spend so much time staring at an empty desktop), or switch to a different desktop if you're using a virtual desktop manager. Have it press the space key - useful for scrolling the browser window, or to perform actions in games when one hand is on the WASD cluster and the other is on the mouse. For all the times when you wish you have a third arm to press a key or click on a mouse button, this is the answer.The action is silent, no click from the switch. There will be a soft sound of plastic hitting plastic if you step it down all the way or if you step hard on it. Don't step too hard. Construction is not great - it is all plastic, light, and won't handle abuse well. There are 4 rubber feet at the bottom to prevent it from sliding around. If / when it breaks, I will try to transplant the controller into an industrial strength, all metal foot switch I have.There's a manufacturer's page if you need to download the software : http://pcsensor.com/pcsensor-foot-switch-usb-hid-fs1_p-plastic-case-ir-switch.html - I'm not sure if Amazon will delete the link. You can always search for pcsensor and USB foot switch to find it.There appears to be a metal version of this, the FS1-M. It's also available on Amazon. According to the only review, only the top is metal.My switch was delivered from China within a week, much faster than promised by Amazon. Might be a fluke, or due to the stars all lined up correctly. For under $10 including shipping, I'm extremely happy with this.

The pedal didn't even last 3 weeks under VERY light usage before it got stuck as registering as being depressed even when it wasn't. To say I am upset or disappointed is a gross understatement. It had very limited allowances to begin with (it could only be bound to pretty standard keys -- mouse 4, mouse 5, mouse wheel in, etc. were not options), but providing such a low quality product is extraordinarily disappointing.

This product was almost entirely plastic and only lasted a few weeks. If it was made with metal instead of plastic it would have probably lasted a lot longer. While it did work, there were no other issues. The software installed easily and worked without problems. I would not purchase another one even though the price was really reasonable.

The software is very buggy. It seems to work great at first, but over time it becomes less and less reliable. At first I thought it was an issue with the switch inside it, but upon disassembly I discovered an optical switch. This is better construction than I expected, but it also means it is in no way serviceable. Sadly I no longer use the pedal after a few months of trying it out because it wasn't reliable enough to serve as a push-to-talk switch for gaming, which is the purpose I purchased it for.

So far, I haven't had any trouble with these, though they do feel a little cheap. The software for these is a bit limited. Also, if you have more than one of these, I don't see a way for the program to distinguish between the two. But I was able to get around that by having one plugged in at a time.

It shipped from China so it took a while longer.Works plug-n-play without installing any drivers from the CD. It defaults to "b".Works perfect for a push to talk button. I play intense games like CS 1.6 and Starcraft 2 where I don't have an extra, convenient button or key I can hold down to talk while still doing stuff ingame so this foot pedal is perfect.You can get the latest drivers from the manufacturer's website (PCSensor). If you google "usb footswitch fs1-p" it'll come up.I didn't like the distance you have to push down in order to actuate it (it actuates at pretty much the very bottom) so I put a thick rubber band around it to keep it over halfway compressed and now it's much better!Another thing I don't like about it is that there is no physical feedback like a "click" to tell you when you actuated it so I find that often ingame I'm still pressing it down when I thought I'd eased off. If I ever buy another one of these I'll definitely look for one that gives you feedback when actuated.

Very cheap design. The spring is very strong, but it is too close to the pin that the switch rotates around. The plastic ring that holds the pin in place should be strong enough to handle the tensile force applied to it when the switch is pushed down, but the slightest amount of shear force will break the plastic ring and make the pedal unusable. The switch mechanism is not reliable and cuts out often if you were thinking of using this foot pedal as a push-to-talk for VOIP.A day after you start using it, it will break and this will allow you to see what is inside of it. One look inside will show you the quality of the product. There is a spring, a cheap switch has 2 out of 4 screw holes being used to bond it to the plastic base (using 2 screws instead of 4 saves them $.02), and a heavy metal pin. The switch is activated by a plastic square that sticks out from top plastic piece and passes between two sensors. The spring is held in place by a small circular indent and can potentially dislocate itself, but the pedal will most likely fail at the pin clamp before this happens.I gave them my money and I regret it. Hopefully some good can come out of this purchase if I can encourage other people to not buy this. Please don't buy this product.

Top marks for the vendor. Great support and reliability.The product? Well, it an inexpensive plastic foot switch. It does what it should with an option for both a long and short press. No complaints

Good item
