USB Foot Switch

I just recently invested in a USB foot switch to use as my PTT. I'm waiting for it to arrive, but would like to know what steps I'll need to take to make it work with VRC. I'm not sure if VRC will recognize the pedal as a key. I've read that I may need to download key-emulating software in order to make this work properly, in which case I'd like to hook it up with my left control key, which I currently use as my ptt.

 

Any [Mod - Happy Thoughts]istance to software for this would be appreciated - if that's the step I need to take next.

 

Thanks,

P.S. - Here's the switch that I ordered if any of you were interested.
