PCSensor USB Triple Foot Switch Pedal Review - Easy to Customize, Setup, Use

[@roybatty2268]

gave me an idea. take an old keyboard, disable all but three keys, map them to what you want with autohotkey or similar app. 3d print huge buttons and glue them to the buttons you have left behind.

Thank you for the review- to anyone also using these wirelessly, if you start having issues where they stop working and you can't get them out of pairing mode (flashing red light), disconnecting them from the bluetooth devices on your computer and reconnecting again seems to fix it.

Good review bro. Keep it up!

The pcsensor website has been down every time ive checked it how do I get a hold of the software to change functionality?

[@zozihn8047]

Thanks for the review. I've been comparing this to the Elgato and it seems this fits my needs better. I have carpal tunnel/possibly arthritis and my fingers and hands are pretty much shot for action combat in gaming. Been looking for a pedal to augment/replace forward movement or certain actions. For the Elgato; constantly running software is a massive dealbreaker. The rest of my setup, when not on the 8BitDo Lite SE, is the the 8BitDo Retro Mechanical Keyboard. I own quite a few 3.5mm switch options from 8BitDo for said keyboard. Essentially turned sections of my desk into a gamepad.

[@WIE110]

Hi there, when pressing two of them at the same time, what is then transmitted? As I want to use it for gaming: one button for crouch and the other with the second foot tot zooming. I got a triple foot switch from another make, and I can only do one action either crouch or zoom 😊

[@dr.alexandrachamberlain4509]

Can you please explain the difference between "Continuous trigger", "Single Key", and "Multikey combination"? We'd like to use these in our ortho office to avoid unnecessary glove removal!

[@somewhatpixels6814]

continuous trigger: push pedal you get the key repeatedly (zzzzzzzzzzz) single key: push pedal you get one key (z) multikey: push pedal you get multiple keys (ctrl+z)

[@KopeBSQrasi]

is the button easy to press? with just a little power? gently? will the legs get tired if they press continuously for hours? you know, like the Middle mouse button, there are buttons that are hard to press, it makes you tired if pressed continuously, unlike the left mouse click which is mostly soft and easy to press. what if I have 2 pieces, can they be set for different keyboard shortcut keys? are memory macros stored on the device? can it be used for Canvas panning in photoshop? it works by pressing and holding the keyboard space bar, however it does not work if pressing and holding using the mouse, will result in repeated spaces. somehow, the canvas panning function using the middle mouse in affinity could work like a keyboard spacebar being held down. it needs to be specially programmed if you want to use it in photoshop.

👍🏾 im here for tha key-binding debacle specs, as a device/system agnostic...

[@kevinmorrice]

can you set them up to play/pause, mute/unmute, back page and other things like that, because id love to set it up for that

[@ChupacabraTutorials]

If you can create a standard keybinding for that. You can then just assign that key combo to the foot pedal

[@BrainySongs]

Exactly what I want to do. Did you find it works for that please? I want one pedal to mute/unmute but not sure if that is possible.

[@ante9919]

hi. I got Triple Foot Switch Pedal and i want to know best way how to use it? I use it for 3 weapons in games. So if i hold my feet over switches and then tap them it is all fine, but if i hold my feet next to switch (left and right side), when i need to use it i press it on wrong angle and sometimes it does not register it. So where is best foot placement when not using it, and how to press the switch correctly? Or i just need time to gain muscle memory?

[@joevinlund6041]

can u not bind but have it just foot petal button to macro the push to talk in discord?

[@ChupacabraTutorials]

you can just bind it to whatever keybinding you use for Discord.

[@hunter1-20]

What if I press the button on my keyboard that have the same keybind to the pedal would that affect anything if you get what I’m trying say.

I have an older model of the footswitch (FS3) and can't seem to save the binding to the board. It just keeps being the a, b and c keys. Was thinking this could be cool to do kind of what your talking about, in gaming. Leaning and something else.

[@TaygunGencosmanoglu]

Hello is it possible to use this devices switches as Right mouse button? Or is it only for keyboard functions?

[@ChupacabraTutorials]

I cant really fully remember as it was on a different computer. But I believe it did have bindable keys for mouse in the software/driver that came with it.

[@wmm007]

Is there enough resistance that you can you keep your foot resting on the front of a pedal then slightly rock foot back to click it?

[@ChupacabraTutorials]

There is a pretty strong spring in there. You aren't going to accidentally press this by resting your foot on it unless your foot's the size of a boulder

[@martheunen]

Does the device show up as a seperate controller in games? As in, if i use its software, in the tab 'game' and set it as buttons 1, 2 and 3, do those buttons override the 1,2,3 buttons of for example my xbox controller or a connected joystick??? Or are they actual dedicated seperate buttons of the device itself?

[@ChupacabraTutorials]

this just binds key combos that would normally be for your keyboard or generic controller input. It itself just registers as a generic USB input device on your system. The idea would be if you wanted to bind something. You would bind it to a crazy combination of 3 buttons you wouldnt normally be able to press together on a keyboard. Then bind that button combo to this pedal in the driver.

[@raul1899]

I'm looking to use the middle one for "Speak" during game key, the left for weapond 1 and the right for weapond 2 to rapidly switch guns in PUBG.

[@britishinvader]

I just purchased the single pedal...all i want it for is to play/pause video on the Siglos karaoke program which is on my windows laptop....is that possible to do?...

[@ChupacabraTutorials]

The software that this comes with allows you to bind the pedal with a keybinding. So does your karaoke program have a button you press on the keyboard to start/stop it? If yes, then you can set the pedal to be that same key. Then when you press the pedal, it "Presses" that key on the keyboard as far as your computer is concerned.

[@britishinvader]

I have to use a mouse to pause or play...

[@ChupacabraTutorials]

I don't remember the software super well, but you might be able to mimic a mouse click in which case you can just hover your mouse over the pause and play button and then click with the pedal. Requires experimentation

[@britishinvader]

Yes it does...P will pause...how do I get the pedal to recognize that key (P)

[@Piercedguy]

hi, i have started playing pc but with a controller, my question is would i be able to key bind a button from the controller to the foot pedal? thanks

[@ChupacabraTutorials]

So the way that the drivers work, is it lets you set a key combination that one of the pedals mimics. So you can bind like "Alt + Shift + ctrl + z" in the game. then set that same combo in the pedal driver. There's also options to mimic generic controller buttons. A lot of modern games let you hot swap between controller and keyboard. So it might not matter.

[@dilhanidissanayake4661]

can we use this with a camera ? zoom in zoom out and capture ?

[@ChupacabraTutorials]

All this does is bind a foot pedal to a key binding on your keyboard basically. If your software has the ability to set key bindings, then yes. Most foot pedals are going to just be assigning a key binding from your keyboard to a button that you could press with your foot

[@DilhaniDissanayake7]

Dealing with arthritis lead me here, is there any way to make the springs softer? I've been reading from bed with a tablet lately, and I want something that I can "smash" with my whole hand instead of using my fingers.

[@ChupacabraTutorials]

You cant adjust the spring strength. So if you really need a much much softer spring than your average keyboard spring. You'll need something more customizable than this pedal. Given your current situation. You may also want the option to setup softer springs later.

[@roiad876]

@@ChupacabraTutorials That's great, I don't really understand the difference between one and two "shifts" though the page is asking me for though..

[@ChupacabraTutorials]

@@roiad876 What you want is probably something designed more for gamers. As counter intuitive as that sounds. They offer you several variety of "Switch" you can put into the peddle. That just means the part that clicks, and how much resistance it gives. Its a bit more expensive, but it wont be as hard for you to use. Id research those.

[@SuspiciousPixels]

@@ChupacabraTutorials @roiad there was a product called stinky footpedal that offered various springs for different amounts of pressure when using the pedals but I believe the company went bankrupt so maybe you can find something on ebay.

Nice review. Do you know of any similar usb pedal that has analog input, so that it can replace a knob?

In Linux, you could use AntiMIcroX to replace this windows software told here. It works similarly with whatever hardware this AntiMicroX. If this device has a set up which is fixed to its BIOS, with AntimicroX you can change the default keys to the keys, that you want to use in a game for example. I will try this.

Hello, thank you for the video. I need 6 binds for competitive gaming ( so 2x3 ), would the software recognize twice the same model or do I need another one?

Im not sure how well it handles two separate pedals plugged in at the same time. You'd have to ask that either directly to the company that makes it, or via the Q/A section on the amazon product page.

Okay, thank you for your answer. Have a good day!

I have FS3-3 pedals and FS2016-2 pedals. When you program it saves the programmed key in the actual pedal. No need for software after you have programmed them. For me it works with 5 different programmed keys and they work the same if i plug them in a another PC without software. Now I have different pedals but I think it works just fine with same pedals.

Hey, thanks for the video. I have the same 3 pedal unit, but can't find a way to save or import a settings file to/from my computer.

Any ideas? Thanks.

[@esaedvik]

You probably figured it out, but the software saves its settings to a file, so you could probably just make a macro to replace that or do it manually or have several different folders with this same software for each game/app you use with it. Just a thought.

You use the driver that comes with it. You just bind the pedal to s key combo. So just rebind the game ability to some long combo, then do the same for the pedal.

If you map them to a game controller button do those support holding down the buttons simultaneously as with a normal game controller?

You have to use the drivers you download from their website. You just bind the pedals to button combinations on your keyboard, or a generic controller pad.
