foot Foot Pedals: response times and analogue to digital key code?

[CoolJosh3k]

Foot pedals being amazing for simple stuff like push-to-talk, leaves me wanting something of a high quality.

 

From what I can tell, the only player in the market of key press simulation is https://pcsensor.com who do “drop shipping” under various names.

 

As for analogue, there are a few “gaming” racing pedals to choose from. However it would be required to somehow translate the specific axis’ data into either a keyDown event and keyUp event, or a keyHeld event.

 

I have previously tried 2 variants from PC Sensor, both with their own advantages and disadvantages. However I have no idea what the response time would be compared to using a “gaming” racing pedal setup set to trigger a key press.

 

* Question 1: response time?

* Question 2: analogue to key press

 

Does anyone have some insight into either of these questions?

Use a piece of software called JoyToKey, which will allow any game controller or pedal or anything to emulate mouse and keyboard input.

Sounds like a great idea! I will probably give that a go.
