I'm so picking up one of these. Think of the possibilities while raiding in WoW...

Absolute... Stupidity.

(Read the Google translation that Giz links to via PC Watch) ...

...and you´ll laugh so hard that the office you´re in will have you committed ;)

Ten bucks says the guy that invented this needed a more convenient way to navigate through porn.

@Biggy:
@rudyism:

I know it was probably not the intention of the inventor ... but there are quite a lot of people who lost their arms, cant use em anymore or have been born without them.

So for them this is ideal

So : Stupid - No, Makes no sense for a healthy person - Yes.

@rudyism: hmmm... gotta get one of those... you know so i have 1 hand free.. to sip coffee while surfing through porn in the middle of the night.

I don't know if I have enough dexterity in my foot, but this sure looks like it could come in handy for a programmer. No more switching back and forth between the mouse and the keyboard.

@rudyism: My thoughts exactly. Hands free.....and really perfect for the foot fetishist.

Not intended to be or resemble or lead anyone else to think of a porn reference.

I see some gaming possibilities. To the ardent gamers out there: are two hands always enough?

@holyOrange:

wouldnt want to burn your tallywhacker in mid...... well ya know.... while..... oh never mind you get the picture

I don't get why this is a bad idea. There is a lot of time that my fingers are positioned on the keyboard and moving from the mouse back and forth is tedious and my feet are doing nothing.

Hardcore gamers I can see using this. Free up your hands to aim guns and junk if you use your feet to move your guy around the maps.

I could have used it last night. Trying to use the mouse while dealing with a fussy baby ain't the easiest.

Respond to the editor is job one.

That was from the linked webpage. Tell my why thats more funny than the actual dang thing...

I hate to say this, but let's say you're feeding a baby. Well, that takes two hands - might as well browse with your feet!

I admit nothing!

@mtopper: I feel so guilty for thinking of this first. I'd probably have to get my feet off the ottoman I currently have under my desk though. (Nothing like sinking into a big old leather armchair and putting your feet up before a good night of gaming.)

I don't have an addiction! I can stop whenever I want!

I had the same thought as Lupison that when I am playing first person shooters, I wish my feet could control character movement while the mouse controls aiming/looking. This would had really been excellent with a game like Mechwarrior.

I just wonder if you can have this and a regular mouse, because as it's also been mentioned, fine control probably sucks.

This could be usefull for musicians with home stuios. It challenging to trigger a computer while holding a guitar. You even be able to change fx or adjust volume while you were playing

i am having some nasty problems with hand, wrist and arm pain. so i have been trying different things to keep my hands off the keys more. i have dragonnaturally speaking installed, i alternate between my regular mouse and a gyro mouse that doesn't have to sit on the desk, and so on.

but i don't see myself taking my shoes on and off all day to play footsie with myself under my desk.

Nice... I don't really have a use for this, but I can see many people who can.

The only downside is that you HAVE to keep your feets down all the time... something I am kinda unable to do.

Ha! I've actually wished for this so that I could knit while browsing the internet. (Stop laughing!) However, at that price tag, I'll keep my two most physically lethargic activities separate.
