Product rating Product rating Voting Select your rating... Excellent! Very good Good Fair Poor Rate It! Reviews Author: Dave from Seattle I love it when something turns out to be exactly what I expected it to be. A very good 88 key controller for less than 200 bucks! The semi weighted keys are not piano keys but I didn't expect that, and frankly they have a much better feel than some more expensive keyboards I have owned. The lightweight makes it very easy to transport for gigs too instead of lugging a 60lb beast everywhere. It doesn't have all the bells and whistles of some others but I found the controls are adequate for my needs, I think this is a great deal on very nice keyboard for the money.
