          Best bang for your buck!

          This keyboard is really a workstation. It has some very nice sounds and is packed with many pro features that other workstation keyboards have that cost hundreds more. Easy to set up splits and layers. I wanted a keyboard that I can carry out very easily to singing programs with my groups; very lightweight and 76 keys are more than enough for me. Sure beats carrying those heavy digital pianos that I have(I'm getting too old to lug them around). Great job Casio!

          I would NOT buy this product again.

          I'm a professional vocalist and use keyboard as accompaniment. I often use the orchestrations as part of my background music. This keyboard is difficult to change from one orchestration to another, when performing. The orchestrations are not powerful enough. The bass controls the orchestrations. I've always had the entire keyboard to perform this function, by hitting a chord. The bass, when in orchestration background, has only a bass violin sound, instead of a piano bass. I'll be returning the keyboard on Monday, the 22nd and buying a keyboard in person instead of on line.

            Right now this is my practice keyboard. I bought it for the sound collection and the fact it has 76 keys. Very easy to figure out without reading the manual... lots of cool features and easy to move despite its size

            How do the keys feel? Is one able to play precise, or at least distinguishable dynamics on this very keyboard whilst feeling responsive pressure onto the player's hands? As such, is the responsiveness as one would say, satisfying or to be expected?

            Open Reply - Ronald
            It's not quite the feel of a traditional piano but they have semi-weighted keys so they will have a real feel to them.
