Amazon Basics Electric Keyboard 88-Keys, Semi-Weighted Digital Piano with Sustain Pedal, Power Supply, 2 Speakers, Lesson Mode, Black

Affordable for starter
Thus piano impresses with its 88 semi-weighted keys, offering a realistic feel for beginners and intermediate players. Its sustain pedal and decent sound quality from the built-in speakers make it a great practice instrument. The lesson mode and USB-MIDI connectivity are standout features, enhancing the learning experience. While it may not match the responsiveness of fully-weighted keyboards, its affordability and versatility make it an excellent choice for those starting their musical journey.

Don’t buy this, it sounds terrible.
It has no sensitivity, the keys suddenly sound loud, the piano keys also have other functions. I don’t even consider it as a gift as a learner.

Good keyboard for a beginner
I haven’t played piano before, so this review comes from that perspective.I like the feel of the keys, both texture and resistance to press. It’s easy to find middle C on this keyboard and get my hands aligned.The keyboard is solid in terms of flexing as I play it. I have it on a keyboard stand that I bought along with it.The sound quality is good. The speakers face upward and aren’t too loud or soft.The music stand is solid. I have my iPad on it that I play from and it doesn’t move much as I press on the iPad to continue lessons.The keyboard has a lot of functions built into it that I’m not sure I’ll ever get to, but it’s nice that they are built in. The ability to emulate different instruments, inclusion of drum or percussive instruments, metronome, and other feature are nice. Whether I’ll use them much, we’ll see.My one minor criticism is that the power cord is that perfect middle size where it’s both too short and too long. I can’t kind of wrap it around the keyboard stand to keep it out of the way, but it’s too short to stay out of the way naturally. I wish it were a couple of feet longer.It came securely packaged and worked right out of the box.In all, it seems like a good starter keyboard, well worth the money. I’d buy it again.

Better than a toy… barely
Let’s start with the good:I got this on sale for an unbeatable price of $120, and was thrilled to be “upgrading” from a very cheap 61 key casio that I got about ten years ago. This piano was packaged very well and came with all the stated accessories, which is wonderful to not be forced to go out and immediately buy a pedal or music stand. All keys functioned and it was immediately playable straight out of the box.And now the bad:I was most excited about having the “semi-weighted” keys for a more realistic piano experience, but the keys do not feel good under the fingers, make unsatisfying and loud clicking plastic noises when pressed and released. They are not touch sensitive in any way, meaning it is impossible to play with dynamics. The sound it generates feels canned and tinny, regardless if you use headphones or the built in speakers, I feel the standard piano sound is particularly empty feeling. The pedal is terrible, and would likely need to be replaced immediately for any serious player, but then again I can’t recommend this piano for absolute beginners let alone a serious player.Conclusion:If you’re on a tight budget, save your money for a little bit longer to get one of the bigger names in piano keyboards (korg/casio/yamaha/etc.) or if you really can’t afford more get a 61 key unit, even if the keys aren’t weighted. My 10 year old casio is an infinitely more enjoyable and realistic sounding playing experience. Any significant amount of playing on this piano other than use as a toy will leave you unsatisfied and almost instantly wishing you had something better.
