Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I just received this device today and these are my first impressions:
Depending on how high you set your chair, you might find that this device will cause undue strain in your ankles. The pads are too sensitive for the weight of your legs so as a result you have to lift and angle your foot above the pad during idleness. This gets very tiresome after a few minutes. I'm still experimenting on alternate methods.
Looking at the picture, I thought this device would be at least large enough to accomodate both feet comfortably. However, it is way smaller than you think to the point where you end up using one foot for all the button rather than two. If you do use both feet, you will have a problem working the middle footpad as it is very close to the other two pads and therefore crowded by both your feet.
On the plus side, it does control the left, middle and right mouse buttons as advertised without affecting the performance of your computer mouse. You can easily ignore the footpads and still use the mouse buttons. I have not as yet tried to program the footpads as a hotkey. Maybe later.
I'll update after a weeks of usuage and see if there is much improvement... I certainly hope so.
