perfect for my needsI have been teaching myself the piano over the last 2 years. I was using a basic Casio 61 key keyboard until I bought this about 6 months ago. I wanted a full range keyboard that I could connect to my computer, I didn't need any extras such as nobs or faders. This keyboard fit my needs perfectly. It is very light (22lbs), looks great and the keys have a nice feel. They are semi-weighted keys, so they fall between the cheap springy feeling of basic keyboards and full on hammer-action keys.
There is no setup time, just plug and play (if you have a Mac with OS X).
