USB foot switches a big hit in Akiba
Programmable USB foot switches have gone on sale in Akihabara recently and Akibablog reports that it is now completely sold out everywhere, with at least one shop that sold everything on the same day that they received their shipment.
These USB foot switches can be programmed to do commands like double-click or ctrl+s, and can help to free your hands so your hands can be free to do… more important tasks.
It comes in two models, a single foot switch which sells at 2,980 yen, and a triple foot switch that sells at 5,980 yen.

First thought was to use it as a Boss Button, so nobody can ever know your secret.
But then the genius of it hit me. I must have one.

Bullshit! I’m using ordinary (little modified) mouse under my foot, and I can do whatever I would do with hand - except playing fps games ^^
Right click, no problem. Left click, the least problem. I can even scroll the pages…
Why the hell would I buy such equipment mentioned in the first post :\

Yeah, this is pretty useful for transcribing music and speech.
Triple foot switch for rewind, play/stop., and fast forward.
Right?

you do need just one hand to do… but for right handed people who likes to push buttons with the right hand and do it with the right too it can be troublesome lol. well not really but yeah with this i can have my other hand hold a tissue so it wont fly off too far when playing eroge lol
