There is a basic plastic version that would suffice (for about half the cost) - but this model is more realistic, quite well made and has the heft to stay where you put it. I suspect the cheap version would scoot around on the floor while being used. Do check to make sure it is compatible with your particular keyboard before ordering.... Adds realism…

The pedal shipped to me has crossed wires. With no pedal pressed, the sustain is ON, with the pedal pressed, the sustain is OFF. Totally backwards. I am mostly annoyed because i got the super(slow)saver shipping and waited two weeks to get a crappy pedal that i have to ship back- and then wait another few weeks. Yay. Doesn’t Work

It states in the description that it is for all pianos but it worked backwards on mine. It should have a polarity switch like most other models. Not for all pianos

It works great and feels very much like a regular piano pedal. I don't think you can beat the quality for the price I paid. Excellent Value for the Price

I will return to post a review of the next outcome. Unhappy in Michigan

It completely stopped sustaining notes, pressing on it had no effect. I checked over and over again to make sure it was plugged in and everything. I practice 30-45 minutes a day, I didn't use it every single day but pretty often. I'm disappointed, I thought it would last longer. Instead of ordering another one, I went with the M-Audio SP-2 which so far is working just fine. Hopefully I won't be on here again saying the same thing about that one. Stopped working after five months
