Elgato made a Stream Deck for NO HANDS? Stream Deck Foot Pedal

[@wabash9000]

Back when I played WoW I had 2 usb foot pedals, they could only act like a keyboard press so I tied them to the two most commonly used actions I used while tanking. It was nice because the actions I would be clicking every few seconds and it let me move more actions closer to my movement keys and eased the strain on my fingers.

[@AstralLovelace]

I can see this getting WWWWAAAAAAAYYYYYY more useful if Elgato would ever give it "Assign action 1 to tap, action 2 to hold" for these buttons.

[@nashsanadiki3104]

This makes the stream deck peddle the second budget option stream deck above the mini stream deck that's amazing

[@GavAttackO]

Was a really cool effect to watch live on Sunday. Love the content, never thought Elgato would make such a product but here we are.

[@matzewrath]

I'll love this for dynamic scene switching or dramatic zooms

[@LokiFM]

I got like el cheapo foot pedals for 30 euro, and it's 3 pedals on 1 bit really love it... and didn't cost El Gato prices. Just put the pedals to F22, F23 & F24 and bind whatever you need to those, easy peazy.

[@ChristopherCabello]

Probably also a good product for people with dissabilities.

[@new_og_]

Just ordered one on Amazon , great video, great ideas

[@Celician83]

I could foresee buying the cheaper one for using it to hit my splits during speedruns. Streaming is just secondary to record my speedruns somewhere where I can post them.

[@Atomic67G]

OMG, a Blockbuster shirt, I need that!

[@XMegaJuni]

For the on screen overlay, is there an option to lock it and make it not interactive?

[@johnnythegeek]

Is it quiet when you press it? I need it to allow a speaker on camera to control a teleprompter themselves. I need it to be quiet.

[@saints2551]

Could this plug into a allen n heath zed 10fx mixer board to launch effect that the zed 10fx already has

[@EposVox]

Unlikely

[@michaelmistaken2863]

If the zed 10fx has a midi implementation (a glance at its manual it looks like it doesn’t) then you could maybe use a streamdeck->midi plugin to turn stomp->midi->mixer state. For example, this could probably be used on a behringer xr-18/x32, which do have midi implementations. I use a programmable midi guitar pedal to do external stomp to talk. It’s great but the Elgato would be way less faff to setup/change.

[@saints2551]

@michael Mistaken i gotcha thanks for the advice

[@CoalitionGaming]

Thank you for the comparison to the other foot pedal! :)

[@mpkny]

I work in home-based audio transcription and use a very similar 3-pedal model (it was also very expensive but I've had mine for almost 5 years now and it still works great, and I need it to work otherwise I don't, lol). Push to talk is something I could never be bothered with before because it felt so fiddly, but I can see a foot pedal like this being a real godsend 😅

[@JzL]

I could totally use this for push to mute and push to talk.

[@AlfredNazGates]

Compared to other foot pedals I've been looking at too actually use in games. I want elgato to make a gamer one. Maybe wider base or independent to move around freely plus more buttons. I'd definitely use "tilt" on it.

[@Ktuluuuu]

I actually built a pedal last year, took an aluminum enclosure, some stomp switches, and a USB C macro pad pcb, I was using one of the triple switch ikkelgo (or whatever) and wanted more functions (and better software to change keys) this is a great product from elgaro though, glad someone is making this

[@OSHTVChannel]

Can it be used to change camera view in blackmagic atem mini pro

[@EposVox]

With the bitfocus companion app, I believe so yes

[@OSHTVChannel]

Thanks

[@buckminst]

As someone with multiple Stream Decks already (2 physical 15 button ones and one software one on my iPad)... Since I'm already in the Stream Deck ecosystem, the Stream Deck Pedal is very compelling for me, even with its significantly higher price point. The fact that I can manage all of this stuff within one piece of software, that already has an amazing amount of flexibility, just really appeals to me. The cheaper ones just seem harder to work with and not as useful, though definitely could do the trick depending on your use case. I'm in for a Stream Deck Pedal, eventually. Hopefully the build quality holds up.

[@Killerwins88]

A year later can you use this for Discord PTT in a channel that requires PTT?

[@Daobeezy]

Great video!

[@Xeph0r]

Yo! these look fucking sick! I have been using the Ikegol foot pedals since i saw someone use them on tiktok like 2 years ago and honestly its been a game changer, with how good elgato's software is I have no doubt this is a massive upgrade over them. Maybe if I start having switch issues with my pedals again I will pick them up!

[@digitalillustration604]

Sorry, I'm new to Stream Deck software. Could I record macro with buttons up and down states and delay, like in mouse software? Thanks.

[@RetroBreak]

Love your reviews! Even for things I don't have any intention of buying, they are just well made and enjoyable to watch! Keep it up :)

[@Areku_Gaming]

what about an Midi Foot Controller like vom Behringer or Roland (with a lot of switches and Expression Pedals?) with an Midi to USB cable?.....its a thought i had vor a long time now. clearly not "plug n Play" but the Function can be huge with a Midi-to-Key Programm and so on

[@mobilechaosyt]

I have been thinking about getting pedals specifically to be able have a foot pedal push to talk. I even looked at the IKKEGOL because it would do exactly what I needed if it was just push to talk. I'm not certain if I need the extra pedals, so I will have to reserve judgement especially when I only need to configure one button press for Discord push to talk.

[@BrookeSellars]

I want to press foot pedal to unpause video recording & release to pause video recording in OBS Studio. Essentially, I would be creating a "push to record" feature. (like "push to talk" with video + audio, not just audio) Any ideas for a workaround?

[@will-i-am]

I have the latest update for the software but I can’t find the discord plugin… help pls. Do I need the pedals??! If so that’s stupid

[@EposVox]

It’s linked in the description lol

[@256-aes2]

Now if they could just fix the app. I see you have it full screen for a good portion of the video, but the configuration area in the middle bottom still requires you to scroll through settings. You think they will ever make these areas scale in a convenient way?

[@MagicCyclops]

@eposvox where dod you get giant compact disc?!

[@EposVox]

That’s just how big they were back in the day

[@SleeperJohns]

Is the devs over at Touch Portal watching? The cheap-o streamers will love this, I know I would.

[@Graham_Rule]

Do you know if the Elgato pedal works with Companion?

[@EposVox]

I don’t know for certain off hand but it registers as a stream deck so I don’t see why it wouldn’t

[@koenignero]

I just ordered 2... but I run out of USB Ports

[@EposVox]

Thankfully these are low power so they could run from a hub

[@scollado]

I'm sure they were jealous of Taeha Types foot pedals made of Big Switches 😁

[@jakekarma]

May be a dumb question as I havent fully watched the vid but does it work for ingame to map keybinds to? I want it to be able to give me extra keys for TARKOV

[@EposVox]

Yes

[@Hoss_VegasTTV]

Did you test this with cats and dogs that like to wonder around under desks?

[@EposVox]

No but that’s where the tension adjustment springs and sensitivity control come into play

[@sirbarther]

Just bought one direct. Affiliate link broken. TY SIR!

[@TheBlacksmithingPastor]

Hey, I am new. I signed up for discord to download the royalty free music. I also joined the group. I am not familiar with discord and don't understand where to go and how to download any of the tracks. Can anyone help the noob?

[@WarMomPT]

Eeeeeeh, I don't think I'm really feelin' it? I get the impression that its versatility says more about the stream deck software than the pedals themselves when the asking price is more than a stream deck mini, and one of the strength of Stream deck IMO has always been the visual indicators before the muscle memory sets in (which is why some prefer it over mucking around with a second keyboard for editing, alongside nesting), something you don't quite have here. Oh, sure, it sounds great for recurring actions or PTT like you said, but 'keeping your behind-the-scenes out of view' just doesn't sound like a big deal I guess and then the asking price raises its head again? It might be the fact that I can do a bit of foot-jittering and kicking when I get into games but this sounds like a nightmare for me lol. Hope that the target audience finds it and gets some use. Thanks for showing it off, I'm glad I know these options exist all the same! Will keep it in mind for when there's a Twitch Foot Fetish meta though. That's bound to happen at some point.

[@EposVox]

Oh that’s been a thing since day 1

[@sekritskworl-sekrit_studios]

Did they remove this product or something?

[@EposVox]

No?

[@sekritskworl-sekrit_studios]

@@EposVox Sorry, for some reason I could not find them available at the time: Follow up question: what size shoe do you wear? I wear a 15 (US) but I don't know how comfortable it is for people with feet of my size, and I cannot (for the life of me) find anyone who shares their shoe size nor a shot with their foot in the center... (let alone a combination of both).

[@AshTheDuke]

as a twitch streamer is it necessary to own a discord community?

[@EposVox]

No

[@exergist]

This might sound crazy, but I would love to know if the pedals can "work" *without* the use of Elgato's software. In other words, if you press a pedal (again, without the software) does the PC register the input like a keypress?

[@will-i-am]

why would u do that tho?? The software is free and you can do sooo much in it. U can set the buttons to act as a key press as well. No reason to not download it

[@exergist]

@@will-i-am I definitely agree about the software, though I'm just trying to understand how "generalized" the pedal product is. In other words, it would be really slick if the pedal could trigger other things because it could send (for example) certain virtual key presses. I'd love to trigger VoiceAttack without also needing the Stream Deck software.

[@EposVox]

It’s a Stream Deck. It installs as a Stream Deck. It’s not a normal foot pedal

[@keithbennett5179]

Amazon links for Elgato products you spoke about perhaps maybe? Thanks for the video ikt was fun.... the Amazon link needs some TLC or a HARD SLAP (HS)! Maybe it's just my search engine perhaps it is on strike and hates Elgato.... So confused..... Off the Best Buy they love Elgato Online!

[@AlexaRex]

Been asking for years for this, but I'm skeptical about the pedals themselves. Set up in the opposite direction might have been better.

[@EposVox]

O_o I’ve never once seen foot pedals set up that way and sounds very uncomfortable. But also just turn them around lol

[@AlexaRex]

@@EposVox The reason is you can just click the end if they're the other way around, no need to put your foot fully on them and push down. Maybe it's a bad explanation, but I feel better about it the other way around :P I have the FS3-P pedals, and they're so far apart and also the direction the Elgato ones are, and I've been thinking about dismantling them and putting them closer together and the other way around :P

[@IsoMacintosh]

@@AlexaRex The elgato ones are basically the opposite way compared to FS3-P, there should be no issues pushing them at the end.

[@fsonetwork]

Better use for the foot switch.. VR streamers! You know how sad it is that controlling your stream is still so incumbered as a VR streamer! Hell, this thing could make VR streams so much easier to control without having to hop out of VR to do something.

[@DerdOn0ner]

Major announcement: I will NOT be making a mounting bracket for this. LOL!

[@ThisIsDavin]

Still waiting for Elgato to implement stateful logic to their app... Rather than just linear procedural execution

[@Mennenth]

I've had a 3 footswitch version from ikkegol. Its exposed as a gamepad, which causes issues in some games. Does the elgato one expose itself as a gamepad?

[@Celician83]

Oh, I was thinking this would be great for recording splits during speedruns, but if it shows as a gamepad it could mess with my NES controller adapter🤔

[@Mennenth]

@@Celician83 I dont think it would. It didnt cause issues with most things I used mine for. The issue I had was with Sekiro. From Software games have this weird habit of using the first gamepad they detect as player 1 with no way to change it. If your preferred gamepad wasnt it, then it couldnt be used. It took me unplugging the ikkegol footswitch to play Sekiro with my actual controller.

[@Celician83]

@@Mennenth gotcha, most emulators let you control which gamepad to connect to

[@Mennenth]

@@Celician83 yeah then for your situation the cheap amazon ones (ikkegol, other odd named brands) should work fine. I'm tempted to get the elgato one, but thats a bit pricier and I would really want confirmation on how it exposes itself to the system before getting one to prevent the issues I was having.

[@EposVox]

The stream deck does not

[@ZagatoZee]

Lets face it, if you know what you're doing with scripts anyway, you'd just build your own arduino based pedal. $90 gets you a heck of a lot of options going DIY. The "only" reason to get elgato gear (other than the pure plug and play rather than DIY approach) - is the software.

[@EposVox]

Knowing what you're doing and it being worth the time investment cost are very different things

[@sokoloft3]

You could do this for cheaper with an arduino and any sort of pedal that is a momentary push button. I'd assume all are. Elgato accessories are way overpriced. I made a few diy streamdecks from a guide you can find from a search engine. I could make 3 of them for the price of the cheapest stream deck.
