Perfect

Gosh, I think I now have 6 of these units. I use them on the Eventide SPACE, Time, Mod and Pitch Factor pedals, as well as on my Strymon delay pedals. Perfect, faultless. Plastic, yet rugged and lightweight. Ample length on the cord. Never had an issue.
I prefer these units for guitar pedalboards due to their light weight and compact size. I haven't tried one on my Master Midi Keyboard as I have a metal BOSS unit and the additional weight keeps it in place when I fumble around with my feet.

Great pedals

I've used these pedals with a variety of keyboards for many years and never had a problem with them other than the cords eventually wearing out where they attach to the pedal - which can happen after a few hundred one-nighters! I currently use them as volume and control pedals for a Kurzweil PC3. I especially like the low profile and ease of action.

Great with Eventide Factor pedals

I have five of these units, one on each of my four Eventide pedals (TimeFactor, PitchFactor, ModFactor and Space) and one on my portable pedal board connected to a strymon el capistan. Range of motion and range of control suits all these units perfectly. Additionally, though they are light weight, they are sturdy - which really helps on the portable pedal board that I take when I fly.

Good in theory

I was told by a friend that this is the volume control I need to get. I'm sure it is, but the one sent to me is buggy. It causes my keyboard to drop at odd times, and I can't bring it back up unless I pull out the cable and reset the keyboard (Kurzweil PC3X).
