iKKEGOLUSB Double 2 Foot Switch Control Pedal Video Game Customized PC Keyboard Multimedia Key Free Drive HID

It can be worrisome to buy a product that has such mixed reviews. The bad reviews make me question the good reviews and the good reviews have me questioning the bad reviews. That is the reason I wanted to post this review, having just received iKKEGOL USB Double Foot Switch Control.First, my reason for purchasing it. I have arthritis in my hands but still enjoy video gaming on my PC and Xbox. I am currently playing “Satisfactory” on the PC which requires a lot of in-game walking (W) and sprinting (Left Shift). I’ve tried reassigning keys and using gaming mice with programmable buttons but in the end my hands would ache no matter what I did. I wanted to give this device a try to see if I could let my feet do the walking for me, just like in real life.The manual is in the all too familiar broken English used by foreign companies, often comical and frustrating at the same time. Considering I speak no foreign languages I won’t fault them too heavily. This one isn’t bad and didn’t leave me scratching my head.It referred me to software.pcsensor.com for the current version of FootSwitch. The version was newer than the one mentioned in the manual, updated in January of this year. Following the clear instructions on page 2, I first downloaded the software and then plugged the single USB cable from the foot pedals into a free USB slot on my computer. Windows told me it had discovered a new device and shortly thereafter said the device was ready to use. I then installed (Windows warned me about installing software, per usual) and launched the FootSwitch program. For about five seconds the program displayed a red circle with diagonal line (think Ghostbusters) and said no device was recognized but then found it and opened up to a screen where I could program the two foot pedals.I tried programming one pedal to the left shift button but it wouldn’t have any of that so I chose a letter not used by Satisfactory and then remapped the key in the game to match. Everything went smoothly and I was surprised, given some reviews, how easy and uneventful the whole process was.Having just gotten it I can’t speak to its durability but it seems solid and well built. There is an audible click though if one is absorbed in a game it shouldn’t be distracting. There’s a strong spring under each pedal but I quickly found a position for my feet that applied the appropriate pressure without my feeling like I was holding the pedals down with an unnatural force.The angle of the two pedals, something I was a little worried about, seems fine. It’s very comfortable to press the pedals with both feet. I tried both with hard-soled slippers and stocking feet and both were fine. My feet are size 9 so if you have some really big feet your mileage may vary.The USB cord is plenty long. If you sit near your computer you should have no issues.Most importantly, the device works wonderfully! I now press the right pedal to walk and the left pedal to run. No more awkward pressing of keys or buttons with my fingers.

I bought these pedals for voice chat activation, specifically discord, to be used in gaming. They work perfectly for that, allowing me to set up function key equivalents for each pedal for push to talk and to bring up and hide the discord overlay. The solid metal base gives them a sturdy feeling, and they don’t slide around too much even on carpet. The software for programming the pedals is pretty basic and was clearly written by a non-native English speaker, but it is understandable and gets the job done. You don’t have to leave the software running as the commands save to the pedals, but every once in a while you might need to re-save your settings. The software support stimulation for keyboard and game controller input, but I wish it also supported mouse button equivalents as well. I recommend these, and I’m curious myself to see what other USB control products they might sell.

It works as advertised, although the software is a little tricky and doesn't allow for saving profiles. Since I use this for gaming, an option to quickly shift between custom presets would make things more user friendly. A minor gripe, but it's notable.Hardware-wise it seems pretty sturdy and reliable, but it should be noted that the actual switch is only triggered around halfway down the pedals' traveling distance. Because of this, it's not really suitable for quick reflex actions. It is, however, very nice for secondary functions, MMO macros, as well as a natural accelerator/braking device. Mind you, it's digital rather than analog, but that's exactly what I'd expected so no real points off there.Overall it's a nice device and I'm happy to have it. Don't mind my apparent negativity here. For the most part it's a wysiwyg sort of device, and so I figured I'd point out the little things I'd noticed. It clearly just wasn't developed explicitly for gaming.

My son purchased this item for gaming. Since he has a severe left arm injury, he isn't able to use a keyboard like he used to, so having two pedals that he can freely program to any key he desires has made his gaming experience a whole lot more enjoyable.He has the product set up under his desk in his room, which happens to have carpet. He says the pedals don't slide around, though I can imagine that it would on a smoother surface like hard wood floor. The build quality seems pretty good and the pedals are quite springy, which my son says he likes in terms of how it feels. He also said the software was easy to access from the user guide in the box, and is also very easy to use. Apparently you can technically have 4 different keys mapped at once if you press down for one and release for another for one pedal, and the same for the second pedal.Overall this seems like a great product for those with maybe a similar disability with the arm, but also seems like it could be useful for other purposes. My son recommends this product!

This is a good product great quality and it is very easy to set up and I got started within a couple of minutes

Can't believe I waited.so long to get one. I use it for push to talk, and I am constantly hitting those pedals. Probably 10k presses in ~10 months, no durability issues, no tech issues, just a solid product.

no

It does exactly what you'd expect but here's the things not mentioned. There are microswitches so the pedals do make a click when you press them. It's just a rebadged unit made by PCSensor, so to make it work on the Mac without setting it up on a PC first, just download the ElfKey software, plug in the pedal and it's automatically detected.

as title says i use left paddle for Discord mute and right paddle for in game PUSH TO TALK

It does the job and has not broken down on me even though I've been using it heavily. I would have given it a 5 star if the rubber pad beneath it didn't come out so easily. The original double sided tape used to hold it in place is too weak. Do note that the device will scratch the floor without the rubber pad. This problem was solved by replacing the double sided tape.
