It works perfectly, the half-pedal function is very responsive, and it feels solid and high quality. Easy to connect and it really improves the playing experience. Highly recommended. Review: Durable and functional - especially for live use - These sustain pedals take some getting used to, but they are much better for live use than the sustain pedals that operate more like a traditional sustain pedal, in my opinion. Here's why: 1) They don't have reliability issues - All traditional sustain pedals I have used (e.g., Yamaha FC4) develop problems with the actual mechanism (this includes models from Yamaha, On Stage and M Audio). They typically go down right in the middle of a live show, and either don't sustain or leave the sustain on at all times. Not fun. These little pedals never fail. I have had one for over 20 years, and it always works. Sometimes you need to re-tighten the side screws after extended use -- but that's it. 2) They don't slide around as much as FC4 type sustain pedals -- much easier to keep reined in under your feet when performing - whether you stand or site when you play. 3) They work better with Ultimate Support APEX-type stands -- because you can fit the sustain pedal in front of the feet on those stands. FC4-type sustain pedals must be angled sideways to be usable with an APEX-type stand unless you want to stand at a strange angle while playing. Angling those pedals will work -- but it further shortens the time you have before that type of sustain pedal wears out. Also, when you stand and play, you don't need to raise your foot as high with these FC-5 type pedals -- much less fatigue. 4) They are easier to transport, because they are much smaller and lighter. 5) They cost less -- especially when you consider they don't need to be replaced nearly as often. For me, it has been well worth the time to get used to how these pedals work to take advantage of improved reliability and stability. They also work really well as control footswitches (e.g., to trigger a Leslie fast/slow effect on a Nord or similar keyboard). Personally, I will not be buying any more FC4-type pedals. The ones I have that still work will be used at home. ## Features - Product Code: FC5 - 5' cable, 1/4" plug - Number of strings: 6.0 - 5' cable gives you plenty of room to move ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #388 in Musical Instruments ( See Top 100 in Musical Instruments ) #4 in Keyboard Pedals & Footswitches | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 5,549 Reviews | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Yamaha - **Color:** black - **Item Weight:** 12 ounces - **Model Name:** Compact Foot Switch, Universally Compatible, 5-Foot Cable, 0.25-Inch Plug, Black ## Images ![Yamaha Compact Foot Switch, Universally Compatible, 5-Foot Cable, 0.25-Inch Plug, Black FC5 - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71lyWU3WZ7L.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Style** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: Will that work with Simmons digital drum set?** A: Its meant to work as a sustain pedal. Not sure if can be used as a drum trigger for kick bass or cymbals. **Q: I have yamaha psr-38. i only see a headphone jack,can i plug it into that?** A: As far as I can tell my Yamaha PSR-170 has a power adaptor, head phones, and sustain plug ins. Plus it has the 2 MIDI Plugs. IMO the sustain needs it's own plug due to the way it functions. **Q: PSR 170?** A: Yes the Yamaha FC5 Compact Sustain Pedal should work fine for you **Q: Will this work with the yamaha psr260 and does it have variable damping?** A: Yes! It’s Yamaha. FYI if it’s made by the manufacturer then it will work with their products. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very good sustain pedal *by Y***A on January 3, 2026* Very good sustain pedal.

This pedal has a nice rubber backing that doesn't slide around the floor (the FC4A seems to slide all over the place on solid floors and is a pain in the butt to reposition when you're playing live and it's wandered off). In addition, this pedal is smaller, so easier to have a sustain for each keyboard in a multi keyboard setup without taking up all your floorspace (I want volume pedals for all the keyboard too, so this just allows me more room). And best of all, they're inexpensive. I bought extras so I don't have to pack them when I take the keyboards out and I have an extra in the case as backup (although in 40+ years of playing all over the place I've never had a Yamaha piece of gear fail me). ## Frequently Bought Together - Yamaha Viola Bow FC5 - YAMAHA, 61-Key Touch-Sensitive Advanced Portable Keyboard with Power Adapter, (PSRE473) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.fr/products/809729-yamaha-compact-foot-switch-universally-compatible-5-foot-cable-0](https://www.desertcart.fr/products/809729-yamaha-compact-foot-switch-universally-compatible-5-foot-cable-0) --- *Product available on Desertcart France* *Store origin: FR* *Last updated: 2026-06-26*
