Helloooooo Carpal Ankle.

Great for people without upper limbs or just lacking control of them, nice idea to make computers a little bit more accessible.

Completely useless for normal folk though, unfortunately.

Looks like they got the right foot covered but can one use it left legged a la Christy Brown.

Don't think it would be very precise. Although, that's more the fault of less fine motor control in the feet than a fault of the actual hardware.

Dang! I had this idea 10 years ago.

I hope it has a rumble pack
=D

Could be handy for using the mouse without having to take your hands off the keys. You could be sipping your energy drink while simultaneously playing your favorite FPS without skipping a beat.

lol...they have "screenshots" - you mean pictures?

great, it's just great very helpful for a lot of people.

i can see how this would be useful for people who have lost their arms, or arm control, but this begs the question of how would they use a keyboard.

 

[tengen]

This device will give FPS gamers an unfair advantage as they will start to utilize both hands and feet to play

 

[rhino13]

I think it might be a good idea for everyone, leave your hands on the keyboard, you know?

 

[mkramer0820]

great idea especially for handicap people, it will most likely be once smelly piece of computer hardware. But over all great idea.

 

[sliem]

How do you solve the stink?

Couldn't you do this with any old wireless mouse, really? I can control my mouse with my foot right now... It's a little hard to back up, but I could manage if I took the time to get used to it... At worst you could just hot-glue an old strap of belt to hook your heel in...
