[NFBCS] usb foot controlled microphone

[Bryan Schulz]

Hi,

That's the catch, I don't want a click to simulate a key press.
What do you think would happen if a momentary open push switch was used to open the green data wire in a usb cord?
Do you think that would mute the microphone unless the switch was pushed down and the wire was connected again?
Thanks,
Bryan Schulz

This is handled in software. When you press down on the foot pedal, it sends a keyboard command to your computer. However it's up to the software you have running on your machine to do something with that keypress. It's not something that is handled automatically.

Search your favorite electronics retailer for usb foot pedal and you'll find loads. I think the slightly more expensive ones will let you specify the keyboard command that gets sent.

If you think you will be using this a lot, I'd invest in a good one. Getting stomped on all day long, and cheap build quality are mutually exclusive.
