KINGMAS USB Game Foot Control Keyboard Action Switch Pedal HID

I was surprised how well this works. You need to install software for Windows (supplied on a mini CD) to program what it sends when pressed. Software is in Chinese or English and is meant for all other products made by PCSensor. After configuration, you do not need any special drivers to run it. I can't quite figure out everything in the software (example - I can get on-screen keyboard to work) and it definitely have a few minor bugs. If you run into trouble, just exit and run it again. Basically you can set it to do : 1) a single key 2) a string 3) move mouse With single key, you can have it just send one key (even if you hold the pedal down) - called "single press", or have it auto repeat after a short delay just like your keyboard keys - called "long press", You can send the keypress with Alt, Ctrl, Windows, Shift, or mouse clicks in any combination. For a string, the text "Inside square brackets is the function key" was displayed. I'm not sure what that means. I could not figure out how to include any control or function keys in the string. Normal text strings work just fine. Move mouse is interesting. You can program it to move your mouse by a certain number of pixels on the X and Y axes, as well as scroll the wheel. I suppose you can use this for ultra precise movement - move 1 pixel to the right, for example. Or you can program in a large movement - say 100 pixels to the right, plug this into your victim's computer without them knowing, and proceed to spook the heck out of them. They will probably panic thinking their computer has been hacked or that it's infected by a virus. I'm not responsible for any injuries sustained as a result of this prank. Some other uses for this : Boss Key - program this to Windows M to minimize all open windows (your boss will probably wonder why you spend so much time staring at an empty desktop), or switch to a different desktop if you're using a virtual desktop manager. Have it press the space key - useful for scrolling the browser window, or to perform actions in games when one hand is on the WASD cluster and the other is on the mouse. For all the times when you wish you have a third arm to press a key or click on a mouse button, this is the answer. The action is silent, no click from the switch. There will be a soft sound of plastic hitting plastic if you step it down all the way or if you step hard on it. Don't step too hard. Construction is not great - it is all plastic, light, and won't handle abuse well. There are 4 rubber feet at the bottom to prevent it from sliding around. If / when it breaks, I will try to transplant the controller into an industrial strength, all metal foot switch I have. There's a manufacturer's page if you need to download the software : http://pcsensor.com/pcsensor-foot-switch-usb-hid-fs1_p-plastic-case-ir-switch.html - I'm not sure if Amazon will delete the link. You can always search for pcsensor and USB foot switch to find it. There appears to be a metal version of this, the FS1-M. It's also available on Amazon. According to the only review, only the top is metal. My switch was delivered from China within a week, much faster than promised by Amazon. Might be a fluke, or due to the stars all lined up correctly. For under $10 including shipping, I'm extremely happy with this.

Works okay when it does work, but very light and cheap and moves along the floor (at least on solid surfaces). Died in less than three months. Replaced with a more expensive product that offered three pedals and is of substantially higher quality.

For this price I can't complain as it does what it needs to do. The overall quality does leave a bit to be desired. Over 3 times in the past month have I had to open it up and adjust the sensors in order to get it 'unstuck'. Which by the way, it uses some light sensors with a piece of plastic to block them and trigger the button press. It does work, but the sensors are exactly lined up to prevent faults. Fixing it involves tilting the sensors downward a bit so that they line up. The software that comes with it works by binding the peddle to an existing key. I found that F13 works well since I can't imagine ever having used a keyboard with an F13 key. Overall, I imagine this will last me a year before something goes horribly wrong and again, for the price that is really all anyone can expect I suppose. I use this peddle daily for push to talk while gaming. It makes being able to play games and talk, with some level of privacy; open mic no thanks. I highly recommend a use like this for anyone who has already bound the easiest mouse and keyboard buttons but still wants push to talk. If you are on a budge go ahead and get this one.

This does exactly as advertised. It comes with a tiny cd that's supposed to have drivers but I advise you to just visit the company website for the latest software. If for some reason the keyboard doesn't respond after a while, then you may have to unplug the foot switch and try again. Works with all kinds of keyboard combinations and I really liked the software interface. Really easy setup and execution.

it was 7 dollars and I got it free with my discover bucks so.... quality is very poor not good

Pedal works as expected. Writing this to share what to look for online to find the software, since the seller hasn't included the information. The software is called "FootSwitch" and even iKKEGOL's site (they make a lot of foot switches) links to that for their devices. (This may actually be a rebranded iKKEGOL switch, not sure.) You should end up at the "pcsensor" website. Latest version as of July 2019 is 6.9.8. (I'd link to it, but I'm guessing that would be removed from a review by Amazon.)

Very cheap design. The spring is very strong, but it is too close to the pin that the switch rotates around. The plastic ring that holds the pin in place should be strong enough to handle the tensile force applied to it when the switch is pushed down, but the slightest amount of shear force will break the plastic ring and make the pedal unusable. The switch mechanism is not reliable and cuts out often if you were thinking of using this foot pedal as a push-to-talk for VOIP. A day after you start using it, it will break and this will allow you to see what is inside of it. One look inside will show you the quality of the product. There is a spring, a cheap switch has 2 out of 4 screw holes being used to bond it to the plastic base (using 2 screws instead of 4 saves them $.02), and a heavy metal pin. The switch is activated by a plastic square that sticks out from top plastic piece and passes between two sensors. The spring is held in place by a small circular indent and can potentially dislocate itself, but the pedal will most likely fail at the pin clamp before this happens. I gave them my money and I regret it. Hopefully some good can come out of this purchase if I can encourage other people to not buy this. Please don't buy this product.

I saw several "negative" reviews on this product. No doubt, some folks are having trouble. Some of those may be due to a random bad pedal. Some may be because the configuration program was not executed to define the desired Key value. And one was due to a computer that didn't have the capability of reading the mini-CD (resolution for this it to find drivers and configuration module on-line.) Others may have expections that exceed what this product is designed to do. I am using Windows 7 64-bit as my operating system. I wanted this to simply function as a way to activate the recording transport in REAPER (a DAW program I use for Recording). The drivers and configuration software loaded with no problems though I had to install it twice...I didn't make note of the folder to which it installed! (duh) I needed that folder to find and execute the configuration module. Once installed, I pulled up the "Action List" in REAPER and made note of the key-stroke to activate it (CNTL-R) and set that up as the definition of the pedal in the Configuration (with Single Press selected). It toggles the Transport "ON" and "OFF". Can't see that you could ask for much more with this device. Shipping was much faster than I thought. It was scheduled for delivery in Mid-January. It arrived Dec 26. It isn't a metal switch...but seems substantial enough to withstand normal stomping. I wouldn't advise hitting it with a sledgehammer though. I've been using it for a week or so now and very pleased with it.
