Shopping for keyboards pianos can mean two very different decisions: choosing an accessory that changes how an existing instrument feels, or choosing a full arranger keyboard that becomes the main instrument. The four items here span that split dramatically, from compact sustain pedals to a professional 61-key arranger with built-in speakers. The right choice depends first on whether you need a pedal for expression and control, or a complete keyboard with sounds, inputs, and a touchscreen.
Quick take
- Best simple compact pedal choice: Yamaha FC5 Electronic Keyboard Compact Foot Switch Style Sustain Pedal UNTESTED, because it is a compact foot switch style sustain pedal for electronic keyboards.
- Best full-instrument choice: Korg Oriental Professional Arranger 61 Key with Touchscreen and Speakers Black, because it is the only complete keyboard here, with 61 keys, touchscreen, speakers, and professional experience level.
- Best new piano-style pedal choice: Pro Heavy Duty Chrome Sustain Foot Pedal for Portable Electronic Piano Keyboards, because it is listed as new and includes a classic-style sustain pedal design with switchable polarity.
- Best used piano sustain pedal choice: M-Audio SP-2 Professional Piano Style M Gear Sustain Pedal, because it is a sustain/damper pedal for piano use with the SP-2 model name.
Listed price comparison
The price spread is unusually wide because one item is a full arranger keyboard while the other three are pedals. The range runs from the Yamaha compact pedal at the low end to the Korg arranger at the high end.
| Product | Listed price | Price position |
|---|---|---|
| Yamaha FC5 Electronic Keyboard Compact Foot Switch Style Sustain Pedal UNTESTED | USD 14.99 | |
| M-Audio SP-2 Professional Piano Style M Gear Sustain Pedal | USD 22.00 | |
| Pro Heavy Duty Chrome Sustain Foot Pedal for Portable Electronic Piano Keyboards | USD 46.88 | |
| Korg Oriental Professional Arranger 61 Key with Touchscreen and Speakers Black | USD 2,499.99 |
Decision matrix
If you already own an electronic keyboard and want the smallest accessory-style pick: choose the Yamaha FC5. Its compact feature and electronic keyboard focus make it the most straightforward space-conscious pedal in this group.
If you want a new sustain pedal with a piano-style feel: lean toward the Pro Heavy Duty Chrome Sustain Foot Pedal. It is described around classic-style use, a chrome foot pedal, switchable polarity, and an attached cable with a 1/4-inch plug.
If you want an SP-2 model for piano use and do not mind used condition: the M-Audio SP-2 is the more direct fit. It is identified as a sustain/damper type for piano, with the SP-2 model name and M-Audio branding.
If you need the instrument, not just a pedal: the Korg Oriental Professional Arranger is the only candidate that stands apart. It is a 61-key arranger with touchscreen, built-in speakers, synth action, black color, and professional experience level.
If your budget is centered on accessories: stay with the three pedal choices. The Korg is in another category of purchase entirely, so it makes sense only when a complete arranger keyboard is the actual goal.
Concise product notes
Yamaha FC5 Electronic Keyboard Compact Foot Switch Style Sustain Pedal UNTESTED
The Yamaha FC5 is the most compact-minded pick here, with compact listed as a feature and item dimensions of 4.4 x 7.0 x 1.6 inches. That makes it a practical candidate for someone who wants a small foot switch style sustain pedal for an electronic keyboard rather than a piano-style chrome pedal. The main limitation is right in the title and condition: it is marked UNTESTED and used. That wording matters for shoppers who want a ready-to-go accessory with fewer uncertainties. Choose it for a simple electronic-keyboard pedal role; avoid treating it like a full piano-style sustain pedal.
Korg Oriental Professional Arranger 61 Key with Touchscreen and Speakers Black
The Korg Oriental Professional Arranger is the only complete keyboard in the group. It is listed as a new black 61-key professional arranger with synth action, touchscreen, and built-in speakers. The description also includes a 7-inch capacitive color touchscreen display, two 25W amps with dual-cone speakers, storage with USB and MicroSD, 2x 1/4-inch mic inputs, a guitar input, and over 1700 factory sounds. The limitation is that it is not an accessory purchase; it is a full arranger keyboard. Shoppers simply looking to add sustain control to an existing keyboard would be looking far beyond that need here.
Pro Heavy Duty Chrome Sustain Foot Pedal for Portable Electronic Piano Keyboards
This Pro Heavy Duty Chrome Sustain Foot Pedal is the new pedal option with the most piano-style language. It is described as a classic-style heavy duty chrome sustain foot pedal for synthesizer, workstation, arranger, and portable electronic piano keyboards. It also includes switchable polarity, a 6-foot cable, and a 1/4-inch jack, which are concrete reasons to favor it over the smaller foot switch style Yamaha. The limitation is that it is still only a pedal accessory, not a keyboard or sound source. Its compatibility line names Yamaha MOX6, so shoppers choosing by a specific instrument model should keep that named model in mind.
M-Audio SP-2 Professional Piano Style M Gear Sustain Pedal
The M-Audio SP-2 is a used sustain/damper pedal aimed at piano use, and its product name emphasizes a professional piano style. It is a sensible match for shoppers who want the SP-2 model rather than a compact foot switch form. Compared with the Pro Heavy Duty Chrome pedal, this one is simpler to categorize: M-Audio brand, SP-2 model, sustain/damper type, for piano. The tradeoff is condition. It is listed as used, so it will appeal more to someone comfortable with a pre-owned pedal than someone specifically looking for a new accessory. It also does not offer the full-instrument capabilities of the Korg arranger.
Final recommendation
For most shoppers comparing these four, the first decision is whether the purchase is a pedal or a keyboard. If the goal is a complete instrument, the Korg Oriental Professional Arranger 61 Key with Touchscreen and Speakers Black is the clear fit at USD 2,499.99 because it alone brings 61 keys, touchscreen, built-in speakers, professional experience level, and arranger features.
If the goal is sustain control for an existing instrument, do not pay arranger-keyboard money for features you are not seeking. The Yamaha FC5 at USD 14.99 is the lowest-price route and makes the most sense for a compact electronic keyboard foot switch, with the clear caveat that it is used and titled untested. The M-Audio SP-2 at USD 22.00 is the more piano-style used pedal choice. The Pro Heavy Duty Chrome Sustain Foot Pedal at USD 46.88 is the new, classic-style pedal option with switchable polarity and a 6-foot cable.
Overall, choose the Pro Heavy Duty Chrome Sustain Foot Pedal if you want a new sustain pedal with piano-style language and practical cable details; choose the M-Audio SP-2 if the SP-2 model and used condition fit your needs; choose the Yamaha FC5 if compact size and the lowest listed price matter most; and choose the Korg Oriental Professional Arranger only when you are shopping for a full 61-key arranger rather than an accessory.
