Best Gaming Foot Pedals

What to Consider

Before purchasing a gaming foot pedal, think about the games you play and how much you want a foot pedal will tackle. Some foot pedals are completely customizable, able to execute any type of input in any situation; others are better for specific kinds of games. You'll also want to double check the gaming foot pedals’ interface for compatibility. The last thing you want is a foot pedal that you cannot plug in to your PC.

Lastly, make sure the game or software you are planning on using supports multi-USB inputs. If not, you won’t be able to use many of the foot pedals on the market, even those that are budget buys.
