Alright, I'm not that knowledgeable when it comes to the technical aspect of things so I'm hoping people who are might have some input.

The situation is that I'm interested in having a configuration like this:

Why would I want a set-up like that if there are much simpler alternatives like all in one headsets that have mute functionality already on them? I just do. So I want to know if the configuration above should be functional.

The footswitch I'm referring to is this: Footswitch

What concerns me is that the footswitch is obviously meant for low-impedance upper-end type of microphones. It is listed as being 600 ohm impedance input/output but I usually see most pc microphones as being listed in the 2 kohm range. Would that render it completely nonfunctional? If so, would using line matching transformers fix it? Any input/ideas?
 
It's kind of silly to use a foot switch unless you want to be hands free. No you don't need matching transformers to make it work. As long as the right connectors are on the wires, or adapters, it will work fine.
