If you're willing to DIY it, some types of Arduino can act as a USB HID and emulate any keystrokes you want (officially, the pro micro iirc, but modern Nano's can be hacked to do so as well since they have a reprogrammable USB chip). You could even buy a commercial foot pedal you like and just replace the brains with an Arduino. It would be a bit of a project but easily doable if you have the requisite electronics background, or are willing to learn on the fly.
