Engage the agility of your feet to improve skill, reduce hand strain, & add a new dimension of fun to your video games! On Kickstarter now - https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/glydr/glydr-analog-dual-foot-controller-for-video-games-and-vr?ref=7kkl1v Our prototypes were designed by Probasco Design and HoboLoco for Glydr using SolidWorks.
We plan to use AI to assist users in finding the profiles and games that they would like to use Glydr to play.

Here's what someone unassociated with Glydr wrote "I got to try this at LAN all Night (LANfest Dallas) a few months ago both on a PC game and a VR (Quest 2) demo, and can say this is definitely a really novel input device that is so suble it 'just works' in freeing up your hands and augmenting additional untapped input. Slight learning curve but the customization options seemed pretty wide with more to come."
Our hands are often overloaded when we play games while our feet are at rest. By moving key actions to your feet with GLYDR, you’re expanding the tools at your disposal during your most intense gaming moments.
Extra buttons on controllers, keyboards, and mice don’t actually solve the problem of repetitive overuse of your hands and fingers, and often those extra buttons don’t expand your options, they simply move them around.
Foot-based controllers and pedals currently on the market are particularly suited for one purpose, like single click pedals for single, non-analog actions. Rudder pedals offer a great experience for flight sims, but uses outside of flight sim are limited since the rudders aren't designed to be bidirectional in tilt. Car pedals only go in one direction, limiting uses outside of racing games.
Getting GLYDR going in your setup is a snap and will only take a few minutes from unboxing to getting your feet in your favorite games.
Our configurator empowers you not only to select finely-tuned pre-made profiles for the best games and most popular genres, but to create their own profiles to suit their specific needs.
You can then share their profiles (think Steam configurations) with the world! We want to build a community of other players who are curious and excited to get the most out of GLYDR.
The configurator also allows you to customize individual deadzones per pedal, creating an experience tailor-made for your specific feet.
Keyboard reaches and frustrating team communication are a thing of the past with GLYDR, a device perfect for accessing important but awkwardly-situated functions while you play.
- Mute teammates
- Push-to-talk
- Screenshots
GLYDR provides a tactical advantage while playing a vast variety of games spanning all genres.
In intense first-person shooters, GLYDR can boost your mobility by moving crouching, peeking, and sprinting to your feet, giving you the hand focus you need to do everything else.
GLYDR is fully compatible out of the box with your entire PC library* and can be reconfigured on the fly with our app. Certain console experiences are compatible as long as they offer keyboard and mouse controls. More official compatibility with consoles is a priority for our team, as is MacOS and mobile compatibility moving forward.
If you're into legal console emulation through your PC, GLYDR will work with your setup to turn your classic console games #feetlegal.
*There are like...tens of thousands of PC games. We cannot immediately identify any reason GLYDR wouldn't work with whichever PC game you have in mind, but we have also not tested every single game.
Virtual reality is an amazing way to experience games and digital experiences, but clearing space and standing up to move around isn't always something you want to do. With GLYDR, dusting off your VR headset is a no-brainer because you can play where you are!
Just set up GLYDR with Bluetooth on your VR device of choice and play any game that allows for seated play! Don't trip all over yourself to play VR, just get your feet in the game!
