Programmers urged to code with their tootsies
22nd June 2011
Keith McMillen Instruments of Berkeley, California, has released the SoftStep KeyWorx, a USB foot-operated input device that combines the company’s SoftStep USB/MIDI foot controller – a musician’s stomp-pad – with KeyWorx software to, as the company’s marketing blurb explains, “Get your feet in the game”.
But the SoftStep KeyWorx is not only designed to give “computer gamers a competitive edge.” It can also, the company claims, put to use the pedal extremities of video editors, programmers, and “data entry professionals”.
