Footime Foot Mouse
story @ Wednesday, March 5th, 2008

Hands broken? or Perhaps you are looking for a weird thing to show your friends.. other than that I’m not of the use for a foot mouse. But still I guess there is a market for any alternative mouse device. Personally I think I’d end of smashing this thing on the first day. Here is our inside look…
In addition to its wide applications in ergonomics, rehab, assistive technology, clean room (lab), dirty room (car repair), cyber room (video game), etc, FOOTIME foot mouse is especially useful for audio/video/movie editor, animator, graphic designer, architect, composer, arranger, product designer (CAD, etc), CT scanner, software programmer or any intensive computer user.
It’s more than a mouse. It’s a smart mouse (programable). A mouse with brain! It’s your stepping-stone to peak performance!
Why a foot mouse?
1) Efficiency Booster (Time Saver):
Shortcuts or hotkeys are frequently used during designing and editing, forcing 2 or 3 fingers to dance around awkwardly and eyes to move back and forth between monitor and keyboard. This eye-hand coordination kills time and causes stress. Another situation is: When doing these jobs, most pros’ hands are constantly occupied in juggling multiple input devices such as “hand” mouse, keyboard, input pen, or other devices on desk. What a nerve-wracking manoeuvre! Overloaded! Short-handed, literally! Speed limit: 2 hands. But their feet are left unused. That doesn’t make sense. It’s time to change! There was an unspoken, ignored (or hidden), and unmet need for pros everyday. We identified it and got the right answer: A foot-controlled mouse with programmable buttons (shortcuts) can significantly speed up workflow by adding another input (without adding the work of hand). It reduces repetitive hand/eye movement between hand input devices. Our foot mouse simply gives you a hand! (It’s like a ShuttlePro or SpaceExplorer for foot!) Need a hand (help)? Use your feet.
2) Pain Reliever (Hand/Arm Saver):
Hate that weak, piercing or numb feeling in your hands and arms? We feel your pain and got the solution for you. (The pain could be in neck, shoulders or back as well.) This epidemic known as carpal tunnel syndrome or repetitive strain injury is mostly caused by longtime and intensive use of various hand-controlled input devices, music instruments or other tools. It hurts people’s body, mood and work. Using our foot mouse, especially its mouse click buttons, can greatly reduce the stress and protect the nerves and tendons of hand and wrist. (Frequent finger tapping is the root of the pain.) When working with some on-screen keyboard software, our mouse even enables people to do typing by foot! Now, nothing can stop you from enjoying your computer. Speed up, stress down. No pain, more gain. Give your hands a break and put your happy feet to work!
Computer and Internet can bring us great benefit and fun, but at the same time they can cause unpleasant pain in our upper limbs. The reality is that most of us can not live without them now. Therefore, it’s imperative to improve the efficiency of input and ease the stress faced by millions of people everyday. With the clever combination of regular mouse, partial keyboard and foot control, our foot mouse provides people with an effective solution and meets the needs of Internet age. So you can benefit more and suffer less in your daily computing and online surfing. Enjoy!

Can feet really handle it?
When hand is in trouble or busy, foot is the natural and best alternative. But some people may question the feasibility of foot control. Basically, their misconception comes from two sources: first, distrust or bias against their feet; second, the failure or limitation of other pedals, switches or foot mice on the market. The following explanation helps clear up these people’s doubt and resistance.
If you can drive a car, you sure can drive our foot mouse. Why? Because they have one thing in common: foot-controlled pedal. Your feet are smarter than you may think. And our ergonomic design makes the foot work effortless.
Isn’t is amazing that people can handle multiple car pedals ( for gas, break and clutch) skillfully by foot without even looking at them? Our foot mouse is like a cyber car, which can take you to anywhere in cyber space, by foot. The point is: Don’t underestimate the potential of your feet.
Another good example is that some physically challenged people can use their feet to do almost everything including eating, dressing, writing and painting. Their inspiring stories are the best proofs showing the rest of us how sensitive and adaptive human feet can be. The more you use your feet, the more efficient they become.
A little practice is all that it should take to enable a user to operate our foot mouse efficiently and comfortably. Let your powerful feet help your vulnerable hands.
Some users prefer to use our smart foot mouse in conjunction with hand mouse for quick hand pointing and painless foot clicking plus various one-step shortcuts. That’s fine. Just choose the way that works best for you.
To most people, foot mouse may never replace hand mouse completely, but it certainly improves the situation by sharing the workload of hand. The goal is: Minimize pain, maximize gain!
For pros, the real power of our groundbreaking foot mouse lies in its programmable shortcut buttons. User can define up to 10 shortcuts for each program! And each button replaces 2-finger or 3-finger controlled hotkeys with 1-step foot controlled buttons. This change enables user to speed up computer workflow significantly and relieve hand/wrist pain greatly by reducing repetitive hand/eye movement. Go ask pros how many times they have to hit hotkeys with mutiple fingers each day–frame by frame, page by page, beat by beat… It’s not hard to see the direct result of using Footime foot mouse: Productivity goes up, pain goes down!
By now, we hope you fully understand why there are good reasons for using Footime foot mouse. It’s not a new gadget for a few hobbyists. We have successfully solved some serious problems with a new approach. It’s a serious product for serious users. It makes other half-baked foot input devices on the market obsolete. Once you try it, you’ll love it as many others do. Come on, get your first foot experience.
So, keep your mind open. Upgrade your gear. Be a Footime (not a part-time) worker/player, before getting stress or getting worse. And stop abusing your hands, now!
Don’t walk - run to get this device, because using a hand mouse is so 2008.
