    I would use the pedals as a video editing controller to do common things in Premiere Pro such as playing the video and trimming video.

    I would add it to my Raspberry Pi Arcade Cabinet so I can work and play at the same time. Need at least one hand free to work for scrolling games half down back all the way down forward. Endless possibilities image

    While Im playing a computerGame I would use the Pedals to control sprinting for example,
    but obviously i cant Play a game all day long...so  When im Browsing in the Internet for example, i would use them to Switch between the Tabs, because that realy annoys me.... or for copy/paste they also would be very need

     

    p.s. seems like Auto correktion is kidding me image

    Since it can emulate a keyboard or mouse, I would probably adapt it to allow generation of key combinations for use in software development. For instance a left, right, left combination could generate a build. Other combinations could initiate a search, insert code snippets and so on. I would create a Windows user interface to program the various key combinations and associate them with a Windows or Visual Studio command.

     

    Thanks for taking the time to read my comment!

    It would be really useful for the people who can't use their arms ti use the computer but i think

    it could also be used to switch on the lights in a room.

    I would use it to control my treaded robot over wireless. I have a program setup so I could use it. When you push the foot pedals forward and activate one switch it would go forward pushing them all the way in to go back and steering is obvious.
