Elgato's.. 𝘋𝘪𝘧𝘧𝘦𝘳𝘦𝘯𝘵.. Foot Pedal

[@Senpai]

This thread is an idea board of cool things you can do with a foot pedal. Take an idea, leave an idea. You know, like a big happy family.

[@lewinmg]

i just want a good foot pedal to assign additional keys like "inventory" or "map" or some other key i hate pressing in the middle of game play

[@_garrison]

What if you connected two of the buttons to a motor on your camera arm that could adjust your camera angle? Maybe it could pan to two parts of your desk , one angle for gaming, another for unboxing. I know a lot of streamers may not have multiple cameras or they have only one good camera, and would want to really take advantage of that one camera they invested in.

This channel has been a Godsend to me. I was shooting video on FCP, and then adding in the green screen video. Then I learned about OBS here. You cut my production time by 50%. Just bought the pedal. Came here to learn it. I don’t do gaming but your content transcends that narrow application. Great channel, and very worthwhile.

[@donaldengelmann6906]

This is a great take. One thing I like to do is think up 3 options when I am working on something. Want a new logo? Get 3 of them, then look at all 3 together and find a way to tweak the best 2. Pick the best of those tweaks. New piece of gear? Same thing. Think of 3 things you can do with your new gear. Try them, tweak the best two and pick the best tweak. I find that if I just do the first thing that I think of, it is easy to fall into a rut, but if I dig a little more and come up with 3 ideas it helps keep me innovating.

[@jamestaylor9887]

I understand the rubber feet are to prevent the product from moving around to much while on the floor. However, I feel a little versatility was lost by not providing the screw slide mounts. Depending on the desk set up you would able to place these under your desk and use your leg to hit it instead of your foot. I for one don't sit with both feet on the floor most of the time. I get that since its a foot pedal that seems pointless, but being able to mount a 3 button set up in different locations could be quite useful in a stream set up.

[@fiftyshadesofurban]

4:39 Visuals by Impulse has really done well for itself. I remember when they were like this unheard of thing that a guy I knew kept on pushing constantly it almost felt like kinda spammy and it looked like cookie cutter designs but now I recently looked at some of their designs and holy crap.. They're like insanely good. They have really improved across the years and IMO are the best stream-related layout design company out there.

Circling back to this video to say the spring guidance at 8:04 is indeed the play. Being able to rest my foot there has upped the usability of the thing quite a bit.

Foot pedals are great for shooters that have lean mechanics. Instead of losing your ability to strafe to opt for a lean, use a pedal to lean the direction. EDIT: this is on a 3 pedal I bought from Amazon.

[@DoubsGaming]

That's a great use I didn't think of. Though I feel like because a lot have people have discarded the thought of lean mechanics, it might be hard for people to come back. You know, the whole people don't like change thing.

[@modsquadau]

I use an overhead hand cam in OBS to capture highlights using the Replay Buffer. Reaching for the Stream Deck to hit the Record button is not only disruptive to my gameplay as I have to move my hand away from the controls, but it also makes the shot look disjointed to the viewer. Doing that periodically during a Twitch stream is ok, but a highlight video ends up being an endless stream of my hand moving out of frame to hit the Stream Deck, which looks like crap. Tapping on a USB foot pedal to trigger the same hotkey for OBS avoids both of those issues and doesn't require a Stream Deck. I don't use a Stream Deck Pedal (it may never be available here in Australia, based on other recent Elgato product releases), but I do use a Fragpedal Quad for the same purpose. Fragpedal uses mouse switches instead of analog switches and it's by far my favourite foot pedal, but it's not for the heavy-handed. By the way, Elgato got the idea for variable spring tension from the defunct Stinkyboard. Stinkyboard featured forward, back, left & right triggers, but it was heavy, noisy and clunky to use. Elgato's execution of the same core concept looks to better executed.

[@easymac2017]

The halo argument doesn’t work because halo having a battle royale DOES take away from the 4v4 or big team battle games. You only have a certain amount of people playing halo at any given time. The more game modes the more they will be separated from eachother. Look at call of duty modern warfare. Has battle royal and like 15 mp game mods. Many game modes take a very long time to match because nobody is playing them. Just like when siege has an in game event, it’s harder to find a normal match because everyone is doing the event.

[@SebsDuran]

Studio looks fire, brother. Congratulations

[@masterpig5s]

1:50 I wonder if having a frame around your webcam feed could kind of act to stand you out. I guess I mean just framing the stream as a whole. That and then have it change fairly often and animate. Just thinking that the discovery tab of twitch isn’t really KZbin thumbnails, but how could you get a working hybrid. That was the thought.

[@masterpig5s]

I had the thought at 1:50 in the video.

[@mastos42]

As for ideas, I wrote a app to use my generic pedals to help with video creation - always record, and if the right pedal is pressed, copy that clip into a 'good' folder; if the left pedal is pressed, copy that clip into the 'bad' folder and start recording again. At the end of a session, you have all the good takes in one folder for easy editing.

[@MidnightMan]

Great video Harris! This new product by Elgato is pretty cool, making content creation even more convenient and innovative for actions you don’t want to take your hands off for.

OMG Harris your new studio looks amazing I watched you from the humble beginnings congrats man.

[@ScotInTheDot]

Please, don't doubt it. Your channel IS an inspiration - and, in my case particularly an aspiration. Managed to fry my refurbished laptop's motherboard trying to edit a channel trailer, so I won't be livestreaming anytime soon. But following this channel has given me tons of new information that I never knew I needed before starting to set it all up. Thank you, and all involved (editing especially) for your service! *salutes*

[@stoicrng2809]

This was '' almost '' a instant buy for me. Being a caster for mobile games, I do a ton of remote work in my studio. This is a great way to mute my Mic for cough/sneeze moments, and cuz i stand for 90% of the broadcast this would be extremely handy. but! I fear pedal might be too clunky/noisy, and i really wish you did some testing for how loud it is, just to see if it picks up on a microphone. I also feel this would sell better at a $50 range being to niche.

[@KingCalumari]

That intro monologue was actually such a valuable thing for you to share. Thanks for that Harris!

[@deldarel]

Before any of this starts, what a bloody coincidence!! I was looking for pedals for my own setup. I vtube and when puppetering I need all extra hands I can. I wanted one to switch expressions in. The touch portal works fine, but first I have to move my hand from the game to there, look if I press the right button, and then I can actually smile or blush. Pedals would solve everything!

[@unaminhkavanagh]

So it doesn’t quite have 0 competition as Harris says - This pedal fascinates me because we already have it in use for transcription and subtitling work! So a pedal is useful for pausing videos when I have to stop and unpause to type subtitles and then continue on. It’s smart to see Elgato going down this route using already existing equipment and targeting a new audience. Great vid as always Harris 😊

[@AdrianBellue]

This is exactly what I've wanted for streaming and filming with a multi-cam setup for my guitar studio. This will definitely increase productivity and workflow when it comes to filming content, and another added wrinkle to the seamlessness of cam switching while performing on stream. Excited to get one!

[@CreativeMindsAudio]

as a mostly music streamer i didn't think how amazing this would be for gamers. good take on this. I also wanna say that you are making way better content lately. excited for the future of senpai records and alpha gaming.

[@markzanetti6228]

Do yourself a favor and jump ahead to 5:20

[@Mennenth]

My one concern would be how it exposes itself to the computer. I've used cheap foot pedals before, and the computer sees them as gamepads despite having their own configuration software and I had set them up to send function keys that my keyboard lacks. Being exposed as a gamepad causes issues in some games. Sekiro, for example, uses the first gamepad it detects as the player 1 controller with no way to change it. That means your actual controller will not work in Sekiro. If the Elgato one does similar... No thanks. But if it doesnt, then I may buy it.

[@Blessy340]

That is because the others bind to keys when it shows up as gamepad. This as shown in the video will detect like any other stream deck elgato has and not a gamepad

[@pepsilove6306]

If you use a input mapper you can change how the PC detects it. I have my foot pedals (not the elgato footpedal) set up so the PC detects it as a micropad keyboard extension.

[@Mennenth]

@@pepsilove6306 the problem is that on a system level (in device manager), it shows up as 2 or sometimes even 3 "2 axis 8 button gamepad". The ikkegol one I have has its own configuration software and I had it set to output keyboard function keys - that did not matter because the system still sees it as gamepads which sekiro then grabbed on to. The only solution was unplugging the ikkegol footswitch. This will supposedly not be a problem with elgatos pedals, because it shows up as a type of stream deck.

[@EposVox]

It shows up as a Stream Deck. It's its own device and driver stack. It's not a keypad or a gamepad, it's a Stream Deck.

[@meowpwr]

This is not a keyboard. It’s a streamdeck with 3 buttons.

[@iTzBato]

Does using a different Font for the Title still use the word youre trying to use because I know some devices can’t translate it. Because if it’s okay to use I’m doing that for all my titles

[@geoffgodwin]

As a very animated person who uses a teleprompter regularly for very long takes (over 5 mins) I've always used the mouse to scroll up and down. This throws off my mannerisms and gestures though. This pedal is EXACTLY what I need for seamless recordings.

[@maxzett]

If elgato now made an analog version of it, that would be a whole new thing. That way you could also technically use it as a gas pedal

[@zoRo2200]

Feels like you could just buy an analog pedal and just use it as a hotkey

[@thegrumpmeister]

As mentioned by in a thread by wartab, as speedrunners footpedals have been a godsend. And yeah, they are available in cheaper variants on Amazon (and personally I'm using a 50-60 euro version), but I'll likely swap it out for this Elgato version. Footpedals need to be sturdy, which is often not the case with the cheaper variants, but this Elgato Foot Pedal looks like it fits the bill perfectly. The main thing that sells me on the pedal however, is the detachable USB. I have a couch-setup for streaming, meaning I have a Stream Deck on the coffee table in front of me and a foot pedal at, well, my feet. I need to have as much as possible accessible and controllable from my couch. But if I'd want to use the foot pedal for editing purposes (similar like the trim / split / trim) option, it's way too much of a hassle to remove it as I'm also trying to hide the cables. Integrating it with the existing Elgato software is also great, because the software I got with this button is finicky at best. I rather build up that eco-system for content creation than have these applications that, at times, look sketchy as well. And 3 buttons give you quite some options, even when combining it with speedrunning. Get a button to split your timing, undo and use the middle one to either mark or clip great moments. I'm looking forward to it!

[@JorgeLG]

I hope that in the future they can add multiple functions to each pedal for example if you tap it one time it does this function but if you do double tap it’s gonna make a whole different thing and if you tap on hold he’s gonna be making a whole different function. That would be awesome and potential is endlessness

[@Sellstedt]

I haven't watched the whole video yet but god damn that opening statement about gamers being scared of change is so darn accurate! The example is perfect as well my god. Thank you I'll be using that argument.

[@CamBeulGaming]

5:40 uh....Prompter, Kinesis, DAC 4, and nostromo are a few off the top of my head that have foot pedals...at that price point no. Used them in comercial production for teleprompters, in call center/data center used to dictate call reviews. Hell get this in Sam's/Scott's hands...er feet and have him use it for timeline scubbing. Hell we have a media room in my kids school that uses pedals tied into their switcher for doing their live announcements. This is one of those products not many people know about because they are not, in a professional capacity, using them. This is actually exciting. Imagine if you will a art streamer who is able to switch between cameras seamlessly while not removing their hands from the piece. Hats off to Elgato!

[@PeterSteele111]

In Game push to talk with COD for me on a cheapo foot pedal I bought. Just ordered the foot pedal though from Elgato for push to talk and some code related functions for my day to day job. As a software dev, having macro keys is never a bad thing and taking my hands off the keyboard lowers productivity to press certain buttons on my streamdeck. This will let me build an compile code and run code with a tap of my foot which is nice.

[@TheIsvann]

I remember a pedal that enjoyed some popularity close to a decade ago, WoW players loved it for PTT.

[@OiiMerch]

I already use the Razer Tartarus to help edit and have been eyeing the Monogram Creative Console for extra tools. So for editing I feel that wouldn't be so useful (for the hotkeys I mean), BUT I agree that memes during live streams (or being able to do camera zoom ins) is an amazing idea. Live time memes, camera zoom ins via the Elgato facecam, or sound effects? It removes the need to do it IN editing. Instead of having to do a camera zoom in while editing, I did it live, which is good for both audiences. Also means I get to be a bit lazier in editing/focus on other things. PLUS if you do it live, since the camera is a separate track, if you have the facecam for example, you can zoom in with a press of a button. If you want to do that in editing it requires either a recorded file of JUST your webcam from the entire stream that you can then slap onto the footage, OR you have to get that section of footage, place it on another track, zoom in to the camera (and deal with the quality loss), and then cut out the rest of the footage. (Or you can just zoom in the entire footage at that specific point, but regardless, if you're a content creator you can see the ideal in being able to zoom in live time vs having to edit it.) The same goes for sound effects, transitions, and memes. Instead of having to place them into the footage via editing, it's done live.

[@MiscastJoe]

You hit the nail on the head. I saw it on twitter and my first thoughts were in-game commands, musician streams and a quick way to mute game chat.

[@schmax3627]

i wouldnt be suprised if elgato makes their own streaming software at some point... they just have it all at some point

[@nathanksimpson]

Transcription pedals look almost exactly the same and are about the same price. Middle, left, and right pedal, but I think Elgato did a better job making it with more features and integration with its software. But it looks a little less heavily built. Have a look at the infinity foot pedals. Your idea about using it for editing is kind of why there are transcription foot switches.

[@masterpig5s]

10:31 Oh my. Yes. There’s an obs plug in that follows your face so I feeling like you could have a scene that’s full screen and really sensitive (follows the face quickly) (and maybe has the regular content in the small content). Just something happens and you start being loud or something and just punch into your face in the heat of the moment. All be it, I think it could also jump scare some viewers.

[@masterpig5s]

Literally what was covered. Damn. Yes. I thought of it before hearing it. Nice

[@beninator5533]

ive thought about getting a foot switch for splitting in speedruns. It was more of an idea and i never actually planned on getting one. Oh also thanks to your last video I got a subscribe animation from Visuals by Impulse and it also inspired me to learn how to make transparent video for my own stream. Im a huge fan so keep up the good work. 😁

[@JustJay1281]

Don't have an Elgato foot peddle, but I do have a cheap tri pedal, and honestly as a streamer its great cause you can mute or deafen yourself to be able to take to chat. Or you can set it up for P2T, I honestly wouldn't want to stream without it (even actually use it in day to day discord usage, outside of streaming)... when the current pedals I have stop working, I might consider the Elgato, but the one I have works just fine, and convenience and customization, for me isn't worth paying pretty much double the price.

[@SodiPopMedia]

Harris, what camera arm do you use? I have a cheap one off Amazon and it’s always tilting. Awesome content as always!

[@johnnythegeek]

Is it loud? I need a foot pedal to let speakers control a teleprompter. But it needs to be quiet so the audio doesn't get picked up while they are speaking.

[@mobilechaosyt]

I use a Logitech MX Master to do all my cutting, trimming, and undo plus scroll forward and back along with zoom in and out on the timeline. Yes 7 buttons and 2 scroll wheels. Plus the software allows me to setup the controls per app. I do find performing all tasks in one hand instead of splitting it up between separate hands (or feet) is faster for me.

[@zainshaikh527]

I already have racing sim gear so I used my foot pedals and set up them up for page up and down on accelerator and clutch pedals. Usually use it on FPS games for Sprint and Jump. Take it easy on the pinky and use the space bar for dodging, or anything that is a modifier for the movement keys, such as peek or what not. For audio control, I use a knob for master audio from my DAC and Amplifier. And hotkeys on my mouse for discord or any one program of choosing to mute and set the volume up or down with alt plus the scroll wheel on up down and click; mainly discord currently but any program even one displaying as two tasks such as music streaming and video games. Then I have alt plus C and Z for my mic up and down. All done via volume2 app. Very popular app made by a Ukrainian or Russian fellow five years ago. (Dunno the specific country as it's all Cyrillic to me in writing and both options aside from English are in the program as options out of three.

What about accessibility? If some one has limited/lost function on a had or arm. I do see how it could increase productivity but at $80 I would pass and just use my stream deck and if that wasn't enough a cheap numpad as a macro set. $60-70 would make it more reasonable.

[@TheShowShow]

It seems noisy. As content creators I'd love to see one that doesn't make noise when you step on it. I feel like my mic would pick up that sound. Is it as loud as it seems?

There are very similar designed foot pedals on Amazon. However, there is no detachable cable and no software. You'd have to program it yourself through obs or other software.

[@kaislate]

Voodoo, Roland, boss, there are a lot of pedals... But you gotta go over to the music category. This elgato pedal with huge surfaces is.. interesting I suppose. Elgato software integration is probably where it is at and not having to set up midi commands. It's a three button stream deck. Perfect way to describe it.

[@BIGSCREENQUIZ]

Really Enjoyed Nutty’s review of the Elgato Pedal.

[@gschnur9022]

This pedal looks great especially with how simple it's setup appears to be. Currently I use the Behringer FCB1010 MIDI Foot Controller. I use the FCB1010 to control parts of my DAW and OBS. Similar concept just more buttons for the guitar players that like to tap dance. I really liked your idea to use the pedal for footage editing. I'm going to see if I can rig something up to do the same with the FCB1010. If I'm lucky there will be an app out there already, otherwise it looks like some R&D and play time in Visual Studio. Awesome video and good editing as usual.

[@bobisadrummer]

How do you route the midi to OBS? I assume some kind of intermediary program? I have two midi foot controllers, the Roland FC300 and a Line 6 FBV3 that I use in my DAW and for controlling Neural DSP plugins. I'd like to try and use one of them as some sort of Discord PTT integration.

Elgato, for the most part, make *technically* good products. Mileage may vary of course but their products are usually of a high quality. However the premium they charge is usually 200% more than competitors, but generally streamers don't know that because they're not usually that informed on the tech (yes, there are those of you that a tech enthusiast, i know...) so Elgato's marketing/brand deals with content creators is all they know. TL;DR Foot pedals for PCs are not new and you can get triple pedals like this for a third of the cost.

[@stonalisa3729]

What cheaper brands are worth it

[@Heightren]

Perhaps if you measure mileage by presses, someone using it every day for various hours at a time, increased mileage might be worth the premium

[@BryanThePirate]

@@Heightren When i say "mileage my vary" i mean people's experiences with their Elgato products specifically. I have plenty of peers that have had multiple Elgato products die on them.

@@stonalisa3729 When it comes to tech use reviews to help make an informed decision. Amazon review, YT reviews etc. If anything you should avoid streamers for tech reviews because almost all of them are bias to Elgato because that's the only brand they work with in most cases and they get the stuff for free. Harris himself has made a similar point about the Shur SM7B - most people recommend it purely because it was recommended to them, not because they've done an honest review and comparison of the product.

[@TheNerd]

This product has competitors... Every single person who needs to transcribe text from audio to text uses pedals like this to "stop" "play" "forward/ backward" the audio file and they exist for literally decades. All big companies produce them and technically they all work the same (except from the software solution for every product). You can get a stream deck like experience for like 50$ because streamdeck works with midi. you just need 1 obs plugin to make it work. btw most "pedal solutions" like this dont have a middle button so you can rest your foot on it.

[@DJHarmonics]

Does it allow you to spam a keyboard key or mouse button function while it's held down and stops when released?

I searched alpha gaming and harrisheller, but couldn't find it. Help? Anyone?

I would like to Use it for a Time Crisis Pedal with the Sinden Light Guns if possible but using it for push to talk or switching between cameras would be nice

0:45 It's not just gamers. It's people in general, homo sapiens. Do not like change. Do not like to change.

Especially change for the sake of change. There's no real thought and meaning. Things that work stick around. trying to change it for the sake of it is just being dumb.

This channel is definitely inspiring, don't sell yourself short.

Looks like it could be used for transcribing video footage. I'm pretty sure if it's that cheap, it is a steal compared to the current products.

It's pretty funny, because right as you pulled out the box I was thinking how I always love Elgato's unboxing experience just for the open tab to rip in half 5 seconds later haha.

I've been putting off buying a foot pedal for the longest time just because of how cheaply made they all are, this changes the game! The ideas are endless. Fire that you can use it with the stream deck too

[@BrknLaw]

Funny you should talk about using it for editing because I literally set up my stream deck with an editing profile primarily for splitting, trim to start, and trim to end so I have a nice relaxed spread with one hand on jkl to control the play through of the video and the other on the stream deck to do the actions. It's super nice! 😁

I have a pedal at work. Its my main tool exept for my keyboard. I listen to audiofiles from doctors and translate it to my language from swedish, danish and english.

The aircraft I’ve flown on in the Navy use a foot pedal like this to cue the mic to speak to each other.
