Talking The Foot Mouse!!





Quote:
Sick of wasting time switching your hand between your keyboard and your mouse? Well, you've got a couple of feet that aren't being used, don't you? You might as well enlist them in your fight for efficiency.

This foot mouse allows you to free your right hand up from mousing around by controlling the cursor via your right foot. Your left foot then controls the buttons, letting you use your computer with all four limbs simultaneously. Sure, it'll take getting used to, but think about the advantages you'll have in gaming when you've got both hands free to use the keyboard. — Adam Frucci
Seems like we will waste more time trying to move the mouse to the precise location.

Nice news but should be developed more.
New formula,

two feet = 1 hand

Try moving your feet and typing with your hands at the same time.

Oh, i think using this would be pretty much easier than a hand mouse...

for proof, ask any Medical Transcriptionist who transcribes lots of medical transcripts everyday, and use their feet to control the audio stream while they type out the transcription!!!

Its a wonderful concept... i might propose everyone try it out before u think it might not be good...
