Guide Review - Fragpedal Elite USB Gaming Footpedal Review

The Fragpedal Elite USB Gaming Footpedal is a pair of pedals that connect to your Pc via one USB connection. Each pedal has a pair of buttons that you can program via included software to activate any keystroke or macro that you wish. You can even get crazier with your programming if you desire by mapping one command to the button press and one command to the button release.

An onboard processor allows you to activate different commends from the same button by timing your presses differently, for example you could activate on command on a single click, one command on a double click and a normal press. You can also set one of the four buttons as a shift key and bind twice as many functions to the other three keys. The Fragpedal Elite USB Gaming Footpedal has 32KB on onboard memory that allow tit to store your profiles that you program for use on systems without the software.

That means once you program the Fragpedal Elite USB Gaming Footpedal you can take it to a friend’s house or LAN party and have no need for drivers. I used the Fragpedal Elite USB Gaming Footpedal in Battlefield 2142 and found them to be great for mapping things like the prone or jump commands. I also enjoyed mapping multiple keystrokes to them in Command & Conquer 3 allowing me to access various production queues with one button press. Overall, the Fragpedal Elite USB Gaming Footpedal is a fantastic gaming peripherals that gamers will want to check out.
