We’re holding open auditions for video makers here at MAKE! Here’s Matt Richardson‘s entry, an awesome keyboard hack that lets you control your Google Reader (or any other keyboard-shortcut application) with the press of a foot pedal. He writes:
Here’s a how-to video for an easy, but very useful peripheral hack. It’s for creating a USB foot pedal for any keystroke you’d like. For example, the letter “J” for the next item in Google Reader or F9 for activating exposé in Mac OS X. No microchip programming required. Just hack apart an old USB keyboard.
What do you think of Matt’s video? Let us know in the comments below. Want to audition? Here’s the info:
