The names InqScribe uses for your USB devices come from the underlying USB device drivers. It turns out that most foot pedal device drivers were originally created to control other kinds of input devices, like joysticks or gamepads. Their names either reflect the original input device or the company that originally wrote the driver. In other words, don’t worry about it. InqScribe doesn’t actually care what your USB input device is, as long as it has buttons that can be assigned to shortcuts. If the misnomers really bother you, contact the manufacturer of your foot pedal.
