Casio CT-S100

Was looking for a budget slim keyboard, and this is perfect for me.
Keys have a nice feel, sound isn't great, but for the price you can't complain.
I'd recommend using headphones, as it sounds much better.
Overall, very happy with this keyboard.

I'm a lifelong bass player and occasional guitarist but when I set up my studio I started to want to get a synth/keyboard. This is a great 'my first keyboard' that has served me well and helped me get semi-proficient at playing. I'm sure an experienced player will find faults and niggles the same way I would with an Encore bass guitar, but it serves its purpose very well for the money.

I bought this keyboard to use as a midi keyboard for inputting melodies into my DAW. I figured this would be a better option than getting one of the smaller midi keyboards so I could play chord progressions as well. The USB connector to this keyboard broke off after a couple of months of use. The sound of the keyboard wasn’t great so it became a useless paperweight to me once I couldn’t use it as a midi keyboard. I know it’s cheap but it’s a waste of money.

Works for home practice or simple recordings
