Varmilo just dropped foot pedals for gaming, and preorders are live at 39 bucks per unit. The lineup has three configs: a single-pedal version with three keys, another single-pedal model packing four keys, and a multi-pedal setup with four separate pedals. All of them use Cherry silent black switches with 60 gf actuation and 85 gf bottom-out, plus they hit 1000 Hz polling and can connect to three devices at once over Bluetooth.
The cases are 3D-printed PLA with a PC base plate and ABS caps, and Varmilo says they work for fighting games, shooters, and racing sims. Players could offload stuff like crouch, melee, or throttle controls to their feet, but whether anyone actually wants to game with foot pedals long-term is a different question. It is a weird niche product, and uptake will depend on how comfortable the pedals feel after hours of use and whether games play nicely with them.
