Anybody using a USB foot pedal?

I am thinking about buying a footpedal (maybe with multiple switches) to use with Vegas and my DAWs. There are lots of choices but I wanted to see if anyone has experience with any and can make suggestions. I would use it primarily for play/rew functions in learning guitar riffs or to free up buttons on my Shuttle Pro. Thanks.

Here is a sample of one that seems reasonably priced.

Hi,

Neat! I didn't know that those existed. I don't know if it works with Vegas.

For the Shuttle Pro, are you aware that you can have several banks of buttons for the same program? Just switch between banks for another series of buttons.

Vegas Pro 18 Edit, Vegas Movie Studio 16 Platinum, Magix Video Pro X16, Magix Movie Studio Platinum 2024, Xara Designer Pro X19, Samplitude Pro X8 Suite, Music Maker 2025 Premium, SF Audio Cleaning Lab 4, Sound Forge Pro 16 and more.

@john-brown thanks for reply. I am aware about the banks on the Shuttle, but one of my main uses will be to play/rew while holding a guitar. I just figure it could come in handy on Vegas as well.

This looks like it could be really useful, since it sends keystrokes that the system sees as coming from a USB attached keyboard. I didn't know they existed either! Very cool...
