It seems completely pointless to me and is a glorified foot petal, the costs compared to the benefit, and how useful it would be due to it sitting there and being a foot rest most of the time makes it pretty meh. 

 

but nonetheless, your freedom, your money.

See, you say that, but all I see is possibility with this thing. 

Maneuvering in a air vehicle in any war game (PS2, Battlefield 4, etc) sounds like it'd be a blast with this thing. Driving in racers. Helk, even using it for something as simple as running in any FPS would be great. 

I can't tell you how much I'd love to free up my left hand with this to play a game. The only thing that makes me go "How can I use this thing?" is that I prefer to stand 100% of the time while using my computer. 

I assume I can just pop the strongest springs in on the two points I will stand on as default and just balance with the medium strength springs in the other two points. Then just lean when I want to press a button.

That'd be great. Ugh, I need one of these. So bad.

I would use it in PoE for healing/Mana pots. And I would use it for general use (i.e. not in a game) to turn the volume up and down on my PC and scroll up and down. 

... Oh my God. I didn't even think of those last two uses until now. I want it. I need it. Need some more of it. (lyrics to a song).

Interestingly, my up arrow key is broken from when I wanted to see what the Blue MX switches looked like on the inside (I know, I know), so this could fix the fact that I can't use that button at all.

A G600 could do everything you need, especially with the macro shift/ring finger click.

 

pretty much the god of mice, might pick up a couple before they're eventually EOL so I can have one to fool around with when I retire. 

 

The only thing it can't really do (well it could but really awkward) is control movement. You could use the board for that but fingers are still quicker anyway

Yes, but then you have more control centered on a single component of your body. i.e. right/left hand (whichever you are). 

My goal is to separate everything. Feet handle movement (running in FPS, flying in vehicle combat, healing and secondary abilities in RPGs, scrolling and volume on a webpage), Mouse handles precision and anything that involves rapid fire, and Keyboard handles all auxiliary things (crouching, thrusters, primary abilities, etc etc). 

Anything that increases how much I can do at one time is good. That's what I'm most skilled at personally thanks to playing Kingdom Hearts and other Hack and Slash RPGs where you can literally gain an advantage by being able to use all components on the controller at once (I can with a Playstation controller).

my mouse is the oddball steelseries cataclysm mouse. the spread apart buttons mean that the button load is spread across more fingers rather than relying on a single thumb. having my instant health or shields bound to my pinky button has saved my life so many times I can twitch/panic react to that much faster because its on a dedicated finger rather than a thumb button that has to search for that specific button out of the 12. 

 

on top of that I have a cheap usb foot pedal and the pedals from my wireless xbox racing wheel.. my left foot has the usb with push to talk and my right dominant with the racing pedals I find for warcraft it worked most effectively for spells with a definite known cooldown time I got into a rhythm just like tapping my foot to a song I like my dominant foot was keeping time with the game very easily and with little to no thought involved 

 

outside of games I've had cntrl c and cntrl v mapped to it and when I used to mess around with sony vegas I had some of those functions mapped in 

 

what I really want to say is it is really effective to lessen the load on certain appendages also certain digits and spread the load around. also the foot is very effective at keeping rhythm. foot tappin' is a thing and takes no thought to do map things to your stinky accordingly
