Touted as "the revolutionary next step in game controller technology" by its creators, the Stinky Footboard brings video games down a notch--in a good way. By taking the controller out of people's hands, the Stinky Footboard allows for more functionality and less fatigue. Not to mention that health concerns from holding a controller in a prolonged position can also be avoided.
The Stinky Footboard is outfitted with four programmable buttons, adjustable tension and a unique cross shape gives it unparalleled customization. Meant to be used in conjunction with hands, the Stinky Footboard is apparently most effective during first-person shooter games for secondary functions such as weapon changing or throwing a grenade.
Plugging directly into PC ports, the Stinky Footboard uses patented R2N technology for quick and precise responses in relaxed positions.
