Default Start/Stop recording via footswitch

I'm not interested in hacking a game controller or building my own. I would just like to purchase a commercial midi or usb footswitch.

Is there a straight-forward way to do this? Something like this?

Something like this?

In my case, i'm not using it to punch in so millisecond response time is not important though I would grow to use it if I had it. Alternatively, if I could somehow trigger the record start with my mobile device...Obviously, the mobile device response would be extremely slow but that's not an issue in my case.

Yes: every REAPER action can be assigned to any incoming MIDI event.

You can also do so with your mobile device using REAPER's relatively new web interface feature.

There is a user's manual...

It's pretty easily to use in Reaper actually. There is an app with it to set up the channels/CCs you want to use etc.

i'm talking about configuring it to start/stop recording in reaper. Not a manual of the device itself, lol.
