"The Last Footswitch You'll Ever Need SoftStep [video on site] is a leap forward in the portability and functionality of footpedal controllers. Weighing in at just over a pound and fitting into many laptop cases, SoftStep has limitless flexibility compared to standard footswitches. Ten square sensor keys go beyond the simple on and off commands by supporting multiple transducers per key, providing five degrees of control freedom. Now each key can be used to manipulate effects, computer programs, and multimedia. SoftStep also has a four-direction navigation pedal, an alphanumeric LED display, and backlit keys. SoftStep connects to your computer through USB and contains Expansion and Expression ports. With the MIDI expansion module, SoftStep can be used without a computer. Whether used with an effects rack or popular software programs, this innovative device frees musicians from heavy footswitch pedals while expanding their control."

I am really looking forward to this thing. It's going to bridge the gap between myself and ableton/volta/my modular synth while playing guitar on stage.
