I've bought two of these Yamaha FC5 sustain pedals in the 2000s.
I probably paid $20 or $30 each.
I use one as a sustain pedal for my Triton (keyboard workstation).
I think I may have had to reverse the polarity (via a menu on the Triton), but I don't remember.
Other than that, I don't think I had any problems.
I use the second one as a delay switch for my Pod Pro.
I plug it into my Yamaha SY55 (keyboard workstation), which sends MIDI to my PC.
The PC uses MIDI OX to convert sustain on/off events into delay on/off events, and then sends those events to the Pod Pro.
Both of these pedals work fine.
They're really simple devices.
I haven't tried stress-testing them.
