No more sore driving finger
« on: November 10, 2009, 03:03:28 PM »
I made the ultimate Halo racing accessory. It's a foot pedal which operates the "w"  key on a keyboard. It is easy to make,  about 1/2 hour.  If you are like me, you have the stuff to make it lying around already.

Equipment needed, a keyboard with a working "w" key, some wood, some screws,  a hinge and some rubber bands. Got it? OK, check the URL with instructions and photos: http://www.findvertise.com/proracepedal/

Then, it's off to the races!

Or you could just replace your car's accelerator with a big "W" key.

Who needs a joystick or a foot pedal when you have some wood and screws!

I agree..   You can buy a perfectly good, factory-made pedal to plug into your USB port.  They're like 5$.



Very inventive though!  I might try that out on a rainy-day.   :LOL:

Being a good racer in Halo isn't just about getting the best times. You have to know where your teammates and enemies are, and most of all... how to be crafty! XD -nods-

Oh... and "v.v" = sad face.





Props to Plixity for the first sig, Slayton for the Season XIII trophy sig, and Jane for the banner! Thx guys! ^.^

I got a better idea, no assembly required.

Jamming the pedal to the metal is the way to drive!

If you've got a keyboard to waste like that, why not take all the keys off except the W key?  Then you can press the W key with your foot without pressing all the other keys.
