Can't you just use a mouse?
Would this work with a secondary mouse on the floor? Everyone has one laying around. Sorry for the silly questions and off topic suggestions.
Given that mouses are hardly designed to be operated by foot, I would imagine that you'd need to replace the mouse every few days or so :)
When I said use a mouse, I meant use the button switches from a mouse. Not put an actual mouse on the floor. That would slide around / get kicked too much.
Last night I dug out an old USB gamepad, and used AutoHotkey to map the buttons to Vim Insert mode when in PuTTy, and pagedown in other apps. Works 100% Going to attach it to/in a strong lever arch folder to make the pedal this weekend.
No reason someone couldn't do similar with a secondary mouse.
Cost = Zero | Result = Same | Fail = Really?
You could use the actual mouse but not the buttons, use left/right movement detection with some threshold to switch the modes, i.e. use sliding instead of pushing.
