Using a foot pedal for PTT? What's wrong with using a button on your keyboard, or mouse? Seriously.

That pad although really nerdy looks pretty cool, my question is do you need the headset to use it?

I don't understand the meaning of this pedal. Is it just to get the community all rowdy??? you can always use... voice activated. No?

The world is going insaine.

Well ... no. I guess you could if you were alone in your room (or mom's basement) but if people play anywhere near others like a talking spouse or arguing teenagers or screaming kids, then no.

I don't see why people think a pedal is an insane idea. It may not fit everyone's play style, but styles aren't right and wrong, they're different. Just because someone prefers voice activated or has a free finger to PTT doesn't make the whole concept of a foot pedal stupid.

Edit: Typo

Maybe a stupid question but cant find the answer. Are we allowed to edit the pictures with photoshop or any other editing software or does it have to be a screenshot with no additions?

Cant see anything disallowing it in the rules but half guess it wont be allowed.

Been using a foot pedal for about a year. Any ol' USB foot pedal should work, as long as you can set what the pedal is sending. I have it set to a specific key, which push to talk is also set to.

Not having to reach for a key to talk at inopportune times is absolutely great.

i think the foot pad is a great idea, i'm really happy the way controls for mmo's have evolved, we have seen the naga with 12 buttons and the n52 which are both amazingl pieces of hardware, what i wanna see , i not necessarily more controls(32 button mice) but much smarter controls,i LOVE my razer naga though i think the number of buttons it has is a little more than i need but covers alot of what i use.I'm glad to see a foot pedal in the mix.Although skype's buttonless talk feature is much better, i do see alot of uses prob pvp wise for the pedal.Like i said we can bind something else to it hopefully which would be great.Those who don't know what i am talkin bout can take a look at swifty's controller vids on youtube to see what i mean.

Hey, i have a question about the contest, might be dumb one ...i might not understand it correctly .

The country restriction is applied to all of the people in the said guild, or is it only for the guild master, that needs to be in those "select" countries?
The way i understand it is....
Even if most of the guild members are from countries not listed, they can still get the key, because the guild master is eligible and he is the one entering in the contest.
Or did i misunderstand it?

Thanks for reading

I've been using a foot pedal for a long time... early TBC, I believe. I built it using a USB to Joystick adapter and a standard 15 pin joystick schematic. The whole thing cost me about $30 and runs using the Windows standard game controller drivers, with only one button mapped to actually do anything (Ventrilo PTT key). Although it could make for interesting gameplay to map it as a modifier key instead.

I was also thinking about building a DDR-style dancepad controller and mapping tanking macros to it for my warrior towards the end of TBC. I never actually went forward with that, although it could have made for some funny videos...
