Linus Tech tips coverage of PS 2013 is brought to you by Western Digital Intel

2
00:00:04,600 --> 00:00:11,160
and steel Series this is Luke liser and

3
00:00:08,599 --> 00:00:14,679
this is his stinky foot maybe if he wore socks with his sandals he wouldn't have

4
00:00:13,000 --> 00:00:17,640
that problem I love the name of the product we walked by the booth and I was

5
00:00:16,199 --> 00:00:23,160
like you've got to be freaking kidding me what is this thing so uh basically

6
00:00:20,920 --> 00:00:28,279
it's a d-pad for your feet that you can uh bind any action to uh it's four ways

7
00:00:26,599 --> 00:00:31,880
your foot rests on it all the time so you don't have to look for the button

8
00:00:29,679 --> 00:00:36,480
you don't have to hover over the button uh it works with any game any game that

9
00:00:34,360 --> 00:00:41,120
has uh modifiers as well like such as shift control and ALT uh It'll recognize

10
00:00:39,160 --> 00:00:44,960
it so for games like that that's 16 functions under your foot you can also

11
00:00:43,239 --> 00:00:50,079
adjust the tension and the resistance of the board we give you Springs so that uh

12
00:00:48,399 --> 00:00:55,719
you can modify the feel of it some people like a heavier feel or a lighter

13
00:00:51,879 --> 00:00:57,359
feel um what else why why why why did

14
00:00:55,719 --> 00:01:02,120
you make this because there were foot paddles available or foot pedals

15
00:00:58,960 --> 00:01:05,360
available for PC already

16
00:01:02,120 --> 00:01:07,799
so so the main reason why I I made this

17
00:01:05,360 --> 00:01:11,159
is because I tried other pedals and I was hovering my foot over them or I was

18
00:01:09,560 --> 00:01:15,520
looking and fiddling around the desk looking for them I wanted something that

19
00:01:13,159 --> 00:01:20,240
I knew where my foot was at all times and uh I wanted more buttons that's how

20
00:01:18,200 --> 00:01:24,600
it came about now we usually don't talk MSRP on our Channel because the the

21
00:01:22,880 --> 00:01:28,200
usual procedure is click the link in the video description but I think based on I

22
00:01:26,759 --> 00:01:34,320
mean this is gorgeous the aluminum construction here for a first run

23
00:01:31,200 --> 00:01:36,759
attempt at building PC Hardware this is

24
00:01:34,320 --> 00:01:39,880
very very nice you guys know a thing or two about what you're doing here how

25
00:01:38,399 --> 00:01:44,040
much does it cost to get one of these it's $119.99 and during the show right now

26
00:01:42,920 --> 00:01:50,159
actually here's just a couple other things I want to mention I love this detachable cable folks detachable cable

27
00:01:48,439 --> 00:01:53,719
if it's something lying around under your desk you want that to be detachable

28
00:01:52,240 --> 00:01:57,360
so you can move it around or if you accidentally kick it and whatever it's

29
00:01:55,799 --> 00:02:00,360
not going to break it not only that but they've got a nice little s-shape or

30
00:01:59,320 --> 00:02:03,920
c-shape to the router for the cable so that

31
00:02:02,320 --> 00:02:08,000
means that even if you do pull on it pretty hard there's a very slim chance

32
00:02:06,399 --> 00:02:11,440
it's even going to come detached accidentally it's got nice rubber feet

33
00:02:09,679 --> 00:02:16,000
on the bottom so it's not going to move around whatever kind of surface you have

34
00:02:13,520 --> 00:02:19,080
on it um I mean this this thing looks outstanding what are people saying about

35
00:02:17,319 --> 00:02:22,400
it cuz you got a bunch of machines set up here oh they're loving it they're

36
00:02:20,680 --> 00:02:27,920
they're really liking it it's it's something that they've never really thought about most gamers are like oh my

37
00:02:25,599 --> 00:02:31,920
God I can use my feet while I'm gaming well yeah you can and it's funny because

38
00:02:30,400 --> 00:02:36,319
there's those there's Gamers with disabilities who don't have use of their

39
00:02:33,680 --> 00:02:40,360
hands that game with their feet and yet we never thought of this just for a

40
00:02:37,760 --> 00:02:44,200
mainstream gamer um is there any reason why you could only use one of these at a

41
00:02:42,120 --> 00:02:49,200
time like is there a software limitation no not at all actually our software

42
00:02:45,720 --> 00:02:52,959
recognizes two boards or more um we have

43
00:02:49,200 --> 00:02:54,560
DJs using five of them uh guitar uh guys

44
00:02:52,959 --> 00:03:00,080
who use guitars they use them as a four-way uh guitar effect pedal people

45
00:02:57,319 --> 00:03:05,560
use them in Photoshop illustrator sky the limit that is absolutely

46
00:03:02,680 --> 00:03:09,159
outstanding so guys huge thanks to Luke for doing this interview with us and

47
00:03:07,519 --> 00:03:12,680
well bringing this to the market I'm pretty excited about it don't miss any

48
00:03:11,080 --> 00:03:17,720
of our packs Prime coverage remember guys we're powered here at the show by Western Digital Intel and steel Series

49
00:03:15,920 --> 00:03:22,360
so a big thanks to them for making it possible for us to be here and thanks

50
00:03:19,720 --> 00:03:25,560
thanks a lot so there are a few things that actually really weren't covered in

51
00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:30,400
the interview but I've had a chance to try it now it's awesome it's as good as

52
00:03:28,400 --> 00:03:34,200
you might think it is so there's a bunch of stuff like the springs that can be

53
00:03:32,159 --> 00:03:38,560
adjusted in the bottom not only can they be adjusted they can be adjusted per

54
00:03:36,799 --> 00:03:41,799
spring so you can actually have different tensions for the different

55
00:03:40,360 --> 00:03:45,760
directions of the d-pad that you might want to go in it's super easy to do so

56
00:03:43,840 --> 00:03:50,159
there's an allen key you just pop it out swap the spring pop it back in um it's

57
00:03:48,560 --> 00:03:59,120
more intuitive than you might think I was only sitting in front of it for about 5 minutes but if you bind it to

58
00:03:54,920 --> 00:04:00,720
things like uh melee that might be

59
00:03:59,120 --> 00:04:08,159
inconvenient to reach or things like push to talk or things like um Crouch or

60
00:04:04,840 --> 00:04:10,799
prone or even WD it's totally up to you

61
00:04:08,159 --> 00:04:15,560
and the flexibility is incredible I mean even if you're just doing work if you

62
00:04:12,319 --> 00:04:16,880
were to bind like copy and paste or

63
00:04:15,560 --> 00:04:21,560
something like that you're going to be saving yourself keystrokes and hand

64
00:04:19,680 --> 00:04:24,960
movements with something that your feet would be resting on anyway it's very

65
00:04:23,360 --> 00:04:29,880
cool they also mentioned that the aluminum plate here on the top is so

66
00:04:27,919 --> 00:04:34,360
thick that you can't bend it by hand even when it's not attached to the rest

67
00:04:31,919 --> 00:04:39,479
of the board and they have a unit that they've driven over seven times with a

68
00:04:36,919 --> 00:04:44,639
car that is still in use right now so my feeble stomp test here isn't going to

69
00:04:41,240 --> 00:04:44,639
look that impressive
