recommend a footpedal

As the title says.  I'm looking for a pedal to use for Push To Talk while I'm gaming.  Maybe some other stuff too.  Does anyone have any experience with the stinky foot pedal or frag pedal?

I don't do foot pedals, but I did have an Omnimouse, which is based on the same technology as the Fragpedal. The IDI system is really powerful, and it can be fun trying to explore what it can do. Customer support from GWS is also very good. Build quality on the Omnimouse had some weaknesses, but the Fragpedal seems like it might be a more rugged creature.

I got my kickstarted Stinky board a week or so back.  I haven't had much time to use it yet, but I can offer some first impressions:

- It's solidly built, befitting something you're going to stomp on with your feet.
- Comes with differently-weighted springs, so you can tune it to your preferences.
- Clicky switches... (not sure what kind).
- Since it's a four-way rocker, it's really meant to be used as a replacement for WASD in FPS games.
--- Personally, I don't think I have the necessary foot dexterity to individually tap left & right buttons (singly) with any consistency.

If you just assigned one function to 'back', it'd probably be pretty good for a push-to-talk pedal.

stinkypedal looks to be a lot of money for just PTT.  have you concidered making something like this?

I think I will get the stinky footboard.  This video shows it uses cherry mx blues.  Maybe I can throw some ergo-clears in it so I can practice not bottoming them out with my foot.    My next question is can you use two at the same time?  One for each foot?
