The Fragpedal concept sounds cool - buttons for your feet - but whether it will be able to prove itself in our eyes is the real test, so lets see how it measures up.

So, let me get this right - you didn't like it, correct? xD

bubsterboo · 3rd Jun 2007, 04:59

80$ for 4 buttons! Are they mad?

DarkLord7854 · 3rd Jun 2007, 05:47

In this case, for 3 buttons

Bluephoenix · 3rd Jun 2007, 06:09

I could probably build something more solid for less cost with the PCB layout and a weekend or two with my home-built CNC machine

LoveJoy · 3rd Jun 2007, 08:45

MMM MMMM even i could do that for 10$

Morphine-Kitty · 3rd Jun 2007, 09:16

Looks like a DDR pad gone horribly wrong.

jezmck · 3rd Jun 2007, 09:36

looks like they were just way to eager to show you an incomplete product.
would have been better to just get 4 electric-keyboard pedals and wire them to work on USB.

Hiren · 3rd Jun 2007, 11:06

Having had a play with these myself, I agree. They are terrible totally no feedback when you press on them.

sl1xx · 3rd Jun 2007, 12:10

worst score i have seen on bit-tech so far

Veles · 3rd Jun 2007, 12:51

Concept sounds quite cool, I've always wished I had an extra hand or two to make gaming that much easier, but it's a shame the didn't do it right.

DXR_13KE · 3rd Jun 2007, 12:58

badly done and expensive, bury it deep!!!!!
i think i saw a review of that thing in another place and it got a good score.

CardJoe · 3rd Jun 2007, 13:09

For some reason Gizmodo were very pleased with it if I remember correctly, with Kotaku linking them and saying they thought it was good. I think it was probably a case of them not trying it out properly if at all and thinking the concept was cool. There are some definite design flaws that are inescapable as soon as you try and use it.

I agree with Veles. I have some nerve damage in some of my fingers, making it difficult to become proficient at hitting keys with my ring finger and pinky finger. I had thought of having foot pedals for some extra buttons. I thought it would be especially cool for a game like F.E.A.R., to assign the melee kick to a foot pedal. Its a good idea, but the application seems to miss the mark.

when you see the kind of mouse they sell, you quickly understand how crappy their products are

I've heard thats actually a very good mouse, perfect for people who "finger mouse" instead of the strange people who palm mouse *shudders*

Ghys · 3rd Jun 2007, 17:01

have you seen the 'how to use the mouse' video ? It might be true that it's precise for those who 'fingermouse' , but there is no denying that it must be incredibly uncomfortable

ou7blaze · 3rd Jun 2007, 17:33

Dumbest thing I've ever seen.

It's like having a joystick to drive a car.

Neogumbercules · 3rd Jun 2007, 18:28

That mouse looks like a prop from the set of a bad sci-fi movie.

severedhead · 3rd Jun 2007, 18:49

I can't help but laugh at this, I have not seen such a badly designed and built product for quite a while. Most amusing
