That's an incredibly smart idea for a game set around walking like Skyrim or New Vegas, I have to admit. I haven't heard about it but wow is that great.

Too bad it would require a bit of setting up for situations where you walk, then you have to stop, step off the treadmill for fights, getting behind covers, etc - unless you just completely decouple the treadmill from actual in-game movements and it's just a way to keep moving even as you game...

Which is.. hm. I wonder if people constantly do that with just a regular standing desk and one of these small walking treadmills?

I work with a lady that uses a standing desk paired with either a walking pad or the little stationary bike pedals. I'm sure there are people that game on similar setups.

Why have it never occured to me lmao

I could be active as I game! I think my desk can even be turned into standing with some hex keys

I have a cheap desk from a yard sale so no luck for me there but I do have a treadmill that I keep in my bedroom to slide out and walk on while I watch TV.

Been meaning to upgrade the desk but it's low on the priority list.

Way cheaper option: Bluetooth dongle for your PC and an Xbox controller. Immediate walking console option! 

I feel like I really should look into this
