Thanks for these videos, they're really helping make my decision on what lightgun to get to pair with my arcde cabinet. For a footpedal I have a chunky transcription footswitch I got from work. Its RJ-11 plug plugs into a simple USB device that makes it a 3-button joystick device. Modern USB transcription footpedals like the VEC ones dissapointingly only work with dedicated transcription software, but it's pretty trivial to open them up, cut out the circuit board, and rewire the microswtiches inside or even put a Pro Micro inside. I've also worked with the Linemaster 971-S Aquiline Foot Switch for work projects--I just love the feel of it.

You are very welcome =) Does your cabinet have a CRT screen? Or are you diving into the modern LCD guns? I looked into a few dictation pedals =) The ones of Olympus and Phillips look cool, but I think I won't stock up any time soon^^

I've been using Rock Band pedals for years, for me they are plug and play with ps1, PS2, Mega Drive and Saturn light guns. Music pedals are a great idea. I have made replacement actuators from silicone. Much more ergonomic than most light gun pedals.

You might be able to get them super cheap second hand, as those have been around for almost 20 years and are still being made and sold =) I dared a friend (actual drummer) to try an break it with stomping. She couldn't do it :P Very sturdy stuff^^

How do you plug them to a PC or a console? They don't have USB or console connector?

You don't =) You plug the pedals into the guns. If your gun doesn't have a TS socket, you would have to install one yourself ;)

@@Boojakascha I don't think so, unfortunately. I'm gonna hit you with another question! Do you think there's any way one could map a pair of PC "racing" pedals to act as keybinds? Either a single keybind each or perhaps, even better, for instance 1-50% pushed = X-key, 50-100% pushed = Y-key. I mean theoretically it has to be possible. But I mean without becoming a programmer myself....
