Instrument accessories can solve very different problems, so the key decision is to match the accessory to the signal path or instrument you actually use. A sustain pedal changes how an electronic keyboard is played; a workstation-oriented kit is aimed at a particular keyboard category; and cables need connector and length choices that suit the equipment at both ends. This group covers all three needs rather than interchangeable versions of one item.
Quick take
- Choose the On Stage KSP100 Keyboard Piano Style Sustain Pedal when an electronic keyboard needs a piano-style sustain control with a non-slip, durable design.
- Choose the Yamaha SK AW Arranger Workstation Survival Kit when the setup centers on a Yamaha arranger workstation.
- Choose the STX807 7-Meter Professional Audio Cable for its stated 7-meter, eight-channel snake format using 1/4-inch TRS and XLR3M connections.
- Choose the Strummer Pro Straight to Straight Instrument Cable for a guitar or musical-instrument connection with two straight 1/4-inch ends and a listed 13-foot length.

Decision matrix
Pick by the job, not by the product category alone. The On Stage KSP100 and Yamaha SK AW are both keyboard-focused, but their compatibility cues point in different directions: the pedal is listed as universal for electronic keyboards, while the SK AW is Yamaha-compatible and for an arranger workstation. The STX807 and Strummer Pro are both cables, yet their stated formats are fundamentally different. The STX807 is an eight-channel 7-meter snake, whereas the Strummer Pro is a 13-foot instrument cable with straight 1/4-inch connectors at both ends.
For the most straightforward decision, start with the connector or control you need. Sustain control leads to the KSP100. A Yamaha arranger workstation leads to the SK AW. A longer multi-channel TRS/XLR3M routing task leads to the STX807. A guitar-oriented straight-to-straight connection leads to the Strummer Pro.
Product notes
On Stage KSP100 Keyboard Piano Style Sustain Pedal
At USD 29.95, the On Stage KSP100 is the direct match for an electronic keyboard player seeking a piano-style sustain pedal. Its listed non-slip and durable features focus the choice on a practical foot-control accessory, and its universal compatible-brand designation makes it the broadest keyboard-compatibility option here. The black finish keeps the presentation simple for a keyboard setup. Its limitation is equally clear: this is a dedicated sustain pedal, not a cable for audio routing and not an arranger-workstation kit. Choose it when sustain operation is the missing part of an electronic keyboard rig, rather than when the need is instrument-to-amp connection or multi-channel audio cabling.
Yamaha SK AW Arranger Workstation Survival Kit
The Yamaha SK AW Arranger Workstation Survival Kit, listed at USD 35.20, is the focused choice for a Yamaha arranger workstation. Yamaha compatibility and the stated arranger-workstation purpose make its role more specific than the universal KSP100 pedal. That specificity is the main reason to select it: it is aimed at the keyboard environment named in its title rather than at a general cable task. The tradeoff is its narrower fit. Shoppers looking for a universal electronic-keyboard sustain pedal have a more direct match in the On Stage KSP100, while guitar and audio-routing setups call for one of the two cable options instead.
STX807 7-Meter Professional Audio Cable for Superior Sound Quality
At USD 114.73, the STX807 is the choice for a setup that calls for its stated 7-meter length and eight-channel snake format. It is listed as an XLR cable and is configured around 1/4-inch TRS and XLR3M connections, giving it a distinctly different role from a single instrument lead. Select it when multiple channels need to be carried over the longer cable run described by the product. Its limitation is the specialized format and the highest listed price of the four options. It is not the natural fit for a basic straight-to-straight guitar connection, nor does it address keyboard sustain control or a Yamaha arranger-workstation accessory need.
Strummer Pro Straight to Straight Instrument Cable
The Strummer Pro Straight to Straight Instrument Cable costs USD 39.77 and is aimed at guitar or musical-instrument use with two straight 1/4-inch connectors. The listed 13-foot length, 90% oxygen-free copper spiral shielding, 8 mm PVC jacket, 23-gauge conductor, and nickel-plated connectors give a shopper concrete construction and connection details to prioritize. Its drab green color and Joe Strummer signature on the shrink wrap add distinctive styling cues. The limitation is its specific straight-end instrument-cable layout: it is not the eight-channel 7-meter configuration of the STX807, and it does not replace either keyboard-focused accessory. Choose it when both ends of the connection call for the stated straight 1/4-inch format.
Final recommendation by use case
For a player adding sustain control to an electronic keyboard, the On Stage KSP100 is the clearest match. For a Yamaha arranger workstation, the Yamaha SK AW is the purpose-built choice. For a longer eight-channel TRS/XLR3M audio connection, select the STX807. For a 13-foot guitar or instrument lead with straight 1/4-inch ends, the Strummer Pro fits the brief. These are complementary accessories, so the right pick comes down to the connection or keyboard function your setup needs next.
