Pedal Three is a three-pedal USB foot switch for coding that maps accept, reject and push-to-talk to your feet, so reviewing agent output never takes a hand off the keyboard. Each pedal can send any key, modifier combo, text string or mouse click, and because it enumerates as a keyboard there is nothing to install.
What is the Pedal Three?
Three ribbed black foot pedals on a single curved steel base with a captive USB cable. It is heavy enough that it does not slide across the floor when you stamp it.
What is the Pedal Three for?
Approving and rejecting are the two actions you repeat hundreds of times a day while reviewing agent output, and both normally mean moving a hand off the home row. Your feet are doing nothing. The usual mapping of accept, reject and hold-to-talk covers almost the entire review loop without a single hand movement.
How do you use the Pedal Three?
- Plug the USB cable in. It enumerates as a keyboard, so no driver is needed.
- Open the manufacturer's utility and assign each pedal a key, a modifier combo, a text string or a mouse click.
- Put it under the desk where your foot rests naturally.
- Review with your feet: accept on the left, reject on the right, hold the centre to talk.

How does the Pedal Three compare?
Pedal Three versus Pedal Four: three pedals is the right number for the review loop, because accept, reject and push-to-talk is genuinely all most people map. Choose Pedal Four only if you want a fourth action such as run-tests, or if you also stream and need scene, mute and record.
Frequently asked questions
Does Pedal Three need a driver?
No. It enumerates as a standard keyboard, so any operating system accepts it immediately. A driver is only involved if you want to reprogram what the pedals send.
What can I map the pedals to?
Any key, any modifier combination, an entire text string, or a mouse click. Because it sends real keystrokes it works with any terminal, editor, browser or agent interface.
Does Pedal Three work on macOS?
The pedals themselves work on any platform. The configuration utility is Windows-first, so the easiest path is to program it on a PC and then use it anywhere.
Why do the foot pedals cost more than the macropads?
United States duty. Foot pedals classify at 37.5% under HTSUS 8471.60.90, roughly triple the 12.5% a macropad attracts. That is in the price rather than hidden in a surcharge.
What to know before buying
The configuration utility is Windows-first. The pedals work fine on macOS and Linux with whatever they were last programmed to send, but reprogramming is easiest on a PC.
