    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 love to receive the foot pedals so I had the ability to react in a faster manner in Team Fortress 2 alongside numerous other fast paced pc games. The reason this would be helpful is because of my horrible ability to react fast enough to keep up with my friends and fellow gamers on Steam. Additionally from video game use I would attempt to apply the foot pedal's ability to assist my friends in their graphical design classes to shortcut their commonly used features.

    I would have used it for the game Transformers universe on Xbox one for better control than using just an ordinary joystick.

    As for me, this device solve my problem on my virtual drum. So I think I'll use this as a double pedal virtual drum for improving my skill and also to help other people teaching on learning how to play drums.

    I would most likely apply it gaming, for sure. Quick reloads on the run, guard/shield as a reaction without having to stop moving, grabs, run (for first level press), auto-run (for second level press), double-taps for dodging or sprints, both pedals for jumps. It could get quite fun with a bit more code for multi-button actuation. Though, lets be truly honest here, I'll most likely be using it for hotkeys in Open TTD to get to tracks, signals, go-to, and destroy. Or even shout-outs on my stream for subs or taunts. Set it up for time-keeping in my streams so that I have a quick reference for making Highlights. The possibilities are endless. Oh, or outgoing volume controls for my viewers so that I don't have to tab out of a game to adjust things. It just goes on and on. I could make a whole new blog about the uses.

     

    *Paired with my 3D Mouse I could definitely shave off some time, here and there, doing my VectorWorks drawings.

    I would use this to game and test out different games that I programmed.

     

    I think I would be worthy of this because it would fit my needs:)
