    Unfortunately, those foot pedals are incredibly cheap in their construction. All plastic with a metal spring. Typically the plastic rod holding the upper piece to the lower piece is what breaks first. I’ve gone through many over the years using them as my push to talk button for various programs like teamspeak, mumble, and discord.

    It’s handy (or footy - ha! Dad joke) though to give yourself another key you can map to something other than your hands.

    My friend was a medical transcriptionist, which basically listens to doctor recordings and transcribes them. This doodad here was pretty much required to rewind parts for a relisten.

    I bought a StinkyBoard thinking I would be so productive… I was not. Perhaps I’m not being imaginative enough with its use. 😅

      It always takes way longer to think about what to type than to type it out. So any benefits from speedier typing don’t speed up the ultimate road block: our brains.
