The Stinky Footboard Kickstarter campaign has completed successfully with $79,562 raised. Stelulu will begin shipping and selling the PC controller online in June for $119 USD.
The Stinky Footboard was created to allow players to use their feet to supplement their hands on the mouse and keyboard when gaming. This allows gamers to always be in control, and able to execute lightning quick, simultaneous commands without ever having to take their fingers off WASD and the mouse.
“To be honest, we weren’t sure our Kickstarter would be successful. I mean, using your feet to control a computer sounds crazy the first time you hear it,” says Stephane Rivard, Co-Founder and President, Stelulu Technologies. “We’ve been overwhelmed by the response from the gamer community and their support during our campaign.”
The Stinky Footboard was designed to handle useful secondary actions that usually require finger gymnastics to trigger. Testers have found that it is especially useful for FPS, MMO, MOBA and RTS games.
Constructed of steel, aluminum and heavy duty plastics, the Stinky Footboard is built to withstand the kind of abuse excited, (or angry), gamers might dish out. The sleek and ergonomic profile allows the foot to rest in a relaxed and natural position thus reducing fatigue over long play sessions.
Each switch can be customized with soft, medium, and hard springs and can be micro-adjusted to provide the exact level of responsiveness required by the user. The Stinky software also allows users to map different keystrokes for different games to every switch.
The Stinky Footboard is compatible with Windows 8, 7, Vista and XP.
