<title>Announcing the new Fragpedal Quad Gaming Footpedal</title>
<link>http://gamingmouse.com/news.php?id=47</link>
<guid isPermaLink="true">http://gamingmouse.com/news.php?id=47</guid>
<description>March 29, 2011&lt;br/&gt;Been some time in the making and we are very happy to announce the release of our new Fragpedal Quad Gaming Foot Pedal.&lt;br /&gt;
This "foot cannon" was built from our design team's responses to 4 years of your feedback and suggestions while playing all kinds of games with our other gaming pedals. &lt;br /&gt;
The resulting new Fragpedal is a totally new design with modular, replaceable parts that is tough, tweaked, and ideal for PC gaming.&lt;br /&gt;
Clicking multi-command tactile buttons, adjustable button pressure and spacing, a monster 32 bit processor and 8Mbits flash memory to handle 30 sets of game macros managed by GWS' smokin' 72MHz IDI operating system makes this the power &lt;a href="http://gamingmouse.com/weapon.php?pid=175"&gt;pedal&lt;/a&gt; you've been waiting for.&lt;br /&gt;
And save an additional $20 off Gamingmouse.com's already low price through May 31!&lt;br /&gt;

<title>Macro Help Desk busy with foot soldiers</title>
<link>http://gamingmouse.com/news.php?id=46</link>
<guid isPermaLink="true">http://gamingmouse.com/news.php?id=46</guid>
<description>February 8, 2011&lt;br/&gt;Thanks to the many of you who have been calling and emailing with macro questions and ideas, we know the Fragpedal II is being put to good use in the latest "combat" games like Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 and Battlefield Bad Company 2.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When you are playing a game where you are a soldier fighting on foot, its makes good strategic sense to be able to "game on foot" using a dual foot pedal Fragpedal.  Despite the other controversies swirling around these new titles, there is no controversy amongst our customers: playing these games with the Fragpedal II is kick ass fun.</description>

<title>WASD is Dead</title>

<guid isPermaLink="true">http://gamingmouse.com/news.php?id=45</guid>
<description>January 12, 2011&lt;br/&gt;If you game with an Omnimouse, you can say goodbye to traditional 4 button movement and free up a couple of fingers in FPS and Action games. Auto-strafe represents the first major improvement in the fundamentals of FPS gameplay since the genre began. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Omnimouse with IDI technology, is the only gaming mouse with this game-enhancing capability to automatically operate the sideways strafing keys while you play. You just move the mouse and press the forwards/backwards keys; it does the rest.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Proprietary IDI (Input Device Intelligence) technology and a blazingly powerful 32bit microprocessor produces strafing key presses perfectly synchronized with mouse movement that enables super-fast mistake-free turning control no matter how fast the melee action.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Its all in the autostrafe macro that comes in the macro library of the Omnimouse. No buttons to push, load it once each game and say goodbye to the A and D keys and hello to flawless movement control. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And if you really like this implementation but don't want to leave your current mouse behind to use it, fear not.  The AMP, our IDI enabled USB device controller, will give any USB mouse autostrafe capability.</description>

<guid isPermaLink="true">http://gamingmouse.com/news.php?id=44</guid>
<description>December 4, 2009&lt;br/&gt;We've completed a feature update for our IDI technology that makes use of Vista and Windows 7 newest 64 bit technology.&lt;br /&gt;
This update improves communications between USB devices as featured in our IDI technology for these new operating systems.&lt;br /&gt;

<title>Phasing out the PAL based Fragpedal Elite and Fragpedal Classic</title>
<link>http://gamingmouse.com/news.php?id=43</link>
<guid isPermaLink="true">http://gamingmouse.com/news.php?id=43</guid>
<description>December 1, 2009&lt;br/&gt;The Fragpedal Elite and Fragpedal Classic are built on our PAL(TM) technology which is supported by an 8 bit microprocessor. Although such a processor is standard for most USB peripherals, we have "maxed out" 8 bit technology with our new IDI technology which is now embedded in our products in a 32 bit microprocessor, the STM32. The Fragpedal II is our current and latest footpedal. It's newer 32 bit technology in combination with flash memory (currently 8MBit) allows us to continue to improve and add features to pedals already in the hands (or at the feet) of users,  via software updates installable over the internet.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
We know that one pedal design does "not fit all" and we will be offering additional pedal models based on our 32 bit IDI technology in 2010 in response to our many customer inquiries and suggestions.  As always a big thanks to our users and customers who continue to "push the envelope" with foot assisted input in gaming and professional PC work.</description>

the much requested Macro Builder. You can now easily "build" uber-powerful macros for the&lt;br /&gt;
Fragpedal (and its virtual buttons) the Omnimouse, and the AMP, without programming or&lt;br /&gt;
coding. Omnimouse users check out the new support for powerful mouse gesture macros, the&lt;br /&gt;
joystick mode, and the addition of Z axis control for 3d drawing. This upgrade is highly&lt;br /&gt;
recommended for all IDI devices running on Windows machines.</description>

<title>Fragpedal & XBox: Omnimouse & Joystick</title>
<link>http://gamingmouse.com/news.php?id=39</link>
<guid isPermaLink="true">http://gamingmouse.com/news.php?id=39</guid>
<description>March 2, 2009&lt;br/&gt;For those of you who have emailed about using your Fragpedal (or Omnimouse) with your Xbox via a USB  mouse/keyboard adapter, we have completed a new firmware update that enables both devices to be recognized by adapters as a USB mouse.  Many Xbox games gain a new kind of game play with dual foot controls. If you have a particular game you'd like to test this with, we'd appreciate your feedback as we tune this implementation. Email us about testing with the updated pre-release firmware.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Omnimouse Joystick Emulation&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
This firmware update includes several other new features including enabling the Omnimouse to be recognized and used as a joystick. The implementation offers a new way to play joystick only or multi-vehicle-mode games without an actual joystick. If you have a joystick enabled game that you'd like to test/play with your Omnimouse, send us an email about our pre-release beta firmware patch.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
These features and others will be available to all Omnimouse, Fragpedal and AMP owners for upgrading their devices soon. The new firmware will be available for download on the IDI Devices support page by the end of the month.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For firmware testing inquiries email us at &lt;a href="mailto:Office@GoodWorkSystems.com"&gt;Office@GoodWorkSystems.com&lt;/a&gt;.</description>

<description>January 30, 2007&lt;br/&gt;We are getting a lot of email about compatibility of our products with Vista, the new edition of the Windows operating system.  We are happy to say the R2 gaming mouse, the Fragpedal, (and the Configuration Utility software they both use,) all JUST WORK with Vista.  In fact they work even better!  Our proprietary USB based PAL 2.0 technology allows our devices to automatically connect to the newest HID kernel drivers provided by the Operating System, seamlessly connecting you with the input performance improvements MS has included with Vista. Yes, all Gamingmouse.com products work with Vista and benefit from Vistas imput performance improvements!  Even the Killenflor Deck mouse pad system!  (Ok, thats a joke  ;)!</description>

<title>The Killenflor Deckâ„¢ Mouse Pad System with Replaceable Surface Inserts</title>
<link>http://gamingmouse.com/news.php?id=17</link>
<guid isPermaLink="true">http://gamingmouse.com/news.php?id=17</guid>
<description>Dec 1, 2006&lt;br/&gt;Itz finished and ready for Christmas! The Killenflor Deck has got to be one of the best gaming hardware deals this season!  Buy this one mouse pad system; use it with mouse after mouse, pass it on to YOUR children and never ever need another.  Why?  It has a replaceable mousing surface.  Instead of replacing the mousepad when you tire of the surface, wear it out, or get it damaged, with the new Killenflor Deck (patents pending) you just replace the (very tough) mousing surface with another. For less than $5 you are back in business with a new high-performance mouse pad. And as our favorite Kazakhstan gamer would say, WOW WOW WE WOW! What a Surface She Has!  The new Surface7 Silk Glide Surface Insert for the Killenflor Deck is absolutely the smoothest, toughest surface we have ever discovered and it is without question our number one choice for the R2 with its steel ball glides.  Even we, jaded and cynical from years of mouse pad hype, were blown away with the frictionless new glide of the R2 on the Surface7 Silk.  Check out the new creme de la creme of mouse pads on the ACCESSORIES Tab above!  Reviewers, drop us an email!</description>

<title>R2 Top button replacement now available!</title>
<link>http://gamingmouse.com/news.php?id=15</link>
<guid isPermaLink="true">http://gamingmouse.com/news.php?id=15</guid>
<description>September 6, 2006&lt;br/&gt;Break a button on most mice, and its time for a new mouse. The membrane switch buttons of the R2 are unbreakable, and can now be replaced to eliminate any signs of wear over time. If the buttons are requiring slightly more pressure after 1,000,000 or so presses, a simple replacement can keep your R2 operating in mint condition, and the cost at $1 a button is sweet!  Replacement is simple; remove the medallion, remove the top screw and top, and then slide out the old button assembly and slide in the new. Check out the top button replacement part on the Misc page of the Gamingmouse.com Store!</description>

<title>Top Button Survey Wraps Up and we have Winners!</title>
<link>http://gamingmouse.com/news.php?id=11</link>
<guid isPermaLink="true">http://gamingmouse.com/news.php?id=11</guid>
<description>March 15, 2006&lt;br/&gt;Thanks to all who sent in suggestions, ideas, and pictures for the Top Button survey.  We had a *fair* response this time; maybe some of you were inspired and were out playing &lt;a href="http://www.wfmynews2.com/sports/article.aspx?storyid=58418" target="_blank"&gt;basketball&lt;/a&gt;.  ;)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We'll post a run-down of the ideas soon and some 3d images, but first the winners who submitted images of their R2 or CU.&lt;br /&gt;
For the CU image, a new Fragpedal goes out to Tomcat39 whose &lt;a href="http://gamingmouse.com/topbuttonsurvey.php#TomKat" target="_parent"&gt;CU&lt;/a&gt; showed the most use we have seen to date... Check it out, over 16 miles of mouse travel!!!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The images were fun to check out, and a new Fragpedal goes to soundman Jonathan Proby who sent us an image of his &lt;a href="http://gamingmouse.com/topbuttonsurvey.php#Johnathan" target="_parent"&gt;R2&lt;/a&gt; with his sound hardware.  We hope the pedal makes controlling the "studio" just a bit nicer... :)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We will be officially releasing the Fragpedal Monday, so be sure to check back here for that and other news!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Game On!!</description>

<guid isPermaLink="true">http://gamingmouse.com/news.php?id=5</guid>
<description>September 18, 2005&lt;br/&gt;The Gamingmouse.com forum is expanding!  Graphics, video, animation, and other professional users of the RotoGraf (graphics professional model of the R2)  are simplifying  their daily work with the help of PAL 2.0  macros and programming, and we will be adding a section for professional users coming from Good Work Systems.com, the home of the RotoGraf. We know a lot of our users are both gamers and graphics professionals, and we hope the new forum format will provide even better support for all.  We'll also be updating the forum software and introducing a database system to help users find profile information quickly and easily.  The forum will be down from time to time as we get this work done.  Thanks again to all our members for their input and support! </description>

<title>A Thanks to the Hardware Folks</title>
<link>http://gamingmouse.com/news.php?id=4</link>
<guid isPermaLink="true">http://gamingmouse.com/news.php?id=4</guid>
<description>September 1, 2005&lt;br/&gt;As mentioned here earlier, we have been in the process of contacting hardware review sites to correct a news story about an unrelated upcoming mouse model that erroneously was described to be the first with memory.&lt;br /&gt;
We are pleased and thank the review sites that got back to us and made amendments to their posted information or included material to keep their readers abreast of the current technology in gaming mice.&lt;br /&gt;
Although we haven't heard back from all sites, we wanted to let you know that we are encouraged by the responsiveness and integrity of the many folks we talked to, and we are impressed that most hardware reviewers are very dedicated to giving their readers the fullest and best information they can.  It's a big hardware world out there, and that has to be a challenging job.  Thanks again for the clarification!&lt;br /&gt;

<title>The first gaming mouse with memory is right here and has been for 2 years!</title>
<link>http://gamingmouse.com/news.php?id=3</link>
<guid isPermaLink="true">http://gamingmouse.com/news.php?id=3</guid>
<description>August 22&lt;br/&gt;While this may seem strange news to most of you, we have been informed that a company that makes mice with snake names doesn't seem to know this.  A new gaming mouse projected (it hasn't been made yet) by this company is claimed to be the first gaming mouse with memory.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
While it's a ridiculous mistake, we are obliged to respond to this when we see it in print.  If it ends up being posted all over the internet, it's a disservice to all who want to buy gaming hardware, even the fans of these mice.  We would like to invite any and all who are interested in memory and its capability in mice to drop in on our forum, or give us a call at our Customer Service number with your questions.  Our R2 1600 dpi gaming mouse was the first mouse with onboard memory when it debuted in May of 2003 at the E3 Convention in Los Angeles.  We went away with a Best of Show Award from a Canadian Media group, and the mouse has been pleasing and awing gamers and others ever since.  To our loyal gamers:  if you spot this error in print online, please give us an email at &lt;a href="mailto:tellthetruth@goodworksystems.com"&gt;tellthetruth@goodworksystems.com&lt;/a&gt; and give us the link.  We really appreciate your help to get this corrected, and we sincerely regret the misinformation may be going out.  Stay tuned, we will update you as we hopefully get this resolved soon.</description>

The Fragpedal is a dual pedal and allows you to use both feet to input game commands. Two buttons on each pedal keep it simple, but the buttons are PAL enabled and can send up to 3 different commands each. The Fragpedal hosts 32 kb of internal memory, just like its cousin the R2 gaming mouse, has space in memory for 30 different configuration sets so you can use it differently for each program you use it with.  Our test users are finding that the pedal is awesome for firing! There's no mouse jitter and the feet are surprisingly good at it.  Well, we always said "you can't Kick @#$@ in gaming if you don't use your feet!" And that's why we made it.&lt;br /&gt;
