This sustain pedal has a tendency to stick and make a loud clicking noice when you use it. Also the top of the pedal has deep grooves so if you try to use it with bare feet, its really uncomfortable.

I have to say this is a great asset to my CASIO. It is easy to use, doesnt stick like the previous person mentioned and even with bare feet is comfortable to press down on. Maybe they have altered the make....I dont know....but what I do know is that the sound that comes out when using it is exactly what I was hoping for when playing my instrument. For the price it is worth it and so far I am quite satisfied with it.I bought this in the USA whilst visiting in May 2004 as, believe it or not, most music shops in Tokyo were out of them any make or form!!!!!
NO COMPLAINTS HERE AT ALL!!!!!!

I was hoping this would have more of a piano feel to it. This pedal requires a lot of pressure to get any sustain out of my casio keyboard. If I have shoes on and "stand" on the pedal, it will sustain the notes I play. It is far from the lighter touch I am used to on a real piano. On a real piano, I can let my heel rest on the floor and with light pressure on the pedal it will depress fully. It would be nice if they made the tension adjustable. Also, it is just an on-off switch. In other words, the degree of sustain does not vary (as it does with a piano), making it even more unrealistic. I would recommend shopping around if you want a piano-like pedal, or if you want a pedal that does not require a lot of pressure to work.

I bought this sustain pedal for the price -- it was a big mistake. You will need to wear shoes to use the pedal comfortably as it is very boxy and the "grip" grooves are very uncomfortable. I had some difficulty keeping the pedal in place while playing. I gave it away after two days.

It would be well worth the extra $10 to buy a model with the classic design. If you need a footswitch, I would recommend testing the model at your local music store before buying.

I had the electric piano and shopped for a suistain pedal. I purchased this one and it has served me well.
