Wireless 6 Button Pedal/Controller for PC (configurable)

My made this pedal a few years ago and over the years I have had old wired joypads and keyboards controller boards inside it but recently I bought a wireless USB PC numberpad. I striped out the numberpad's controller and soldered on the wires required (also added another LED soldered to the LED on the board), the LED indicates when powered on and when a button is pressed. I also added a power switch to the side due to it being battery powered. Just to make the USD wireless dongle look nice I cladded it in a in bit of oak and I put a slot with a magnet in the back of the pedal for the USB dongle to be stored.

I use the pedal to switch between my guitar amp software (for selecting effects presets) and my recording software, when in my recording software the pedal acts just like a commercial looper pedal. The pedal can be configured to simulate any key press or combo, it is natively 1,2,3,4,5&6 on the number pad.

I have had lots of fun making this one and it is finally complete!!
