Anyone use a foot pedal to send commands to computer ?

Maybe start and stop a music player, video player, or turn a pdf page.
Guessing the pedal would have to come with software hat allows setup for the different programs ?

There are several mice designed for foot control. Google foot controlled mouse. Then set up your desktop with the apps you need

Fly by wire cars do this, lol. They don't work well and fail so often the after market has made much better ones.

They probably have foot pedals for games, don't you think?

Have not found one that allows the programming for different task, no software with the pedal.

Was looking for something that allowed setup for different programs, similar to the way you
can modify settings for different programs on a wacom tablet.

I know musicians who do a limited number of things via foot pedal. All their sheet music is digital and pages are turned by use of a foot pedal.
