And good value, I think I paid £400 ish for it.

It has a nice look. I don't know my British pound to USD conversion at the moment and lazy web is kicking in but fall into a reasonable price range I'm looking for something a little less expensive because it's a stepping stone to an actual piano and a higher-end keyboard.

Kawai is nice too, the price point new is attractive in comparison (I usually buy used, so I go for the "road tested")...

Actually used is a good idea I'm pretty sure that would be an affordable entry and anyting not too fancy would be quite affordable at that range I just want an 88-key. I'm pretty convinced I'd like the weighted keys. I have to really go and try various keyboards to get a feel.

If going for a used one, then I definitely recommend something really rocksolid like Yamaha … a thing to look for: a home studio and the owner clearly babys the gear (dust covers) or it’s in a really solid road case. Another thing, Yamaha in particular has a consumer line…++

I get it you love Yamaha LOL but that's really great information I thank you both for helping me through this I got to get to the store and actually put my hands on a variety of keyboards. It's not enough to just do online research. It has to be a good fit for the individual. 🎹

Yea, twitter sucks for nuances, but "good fit" IS what I was trying to convey. For instance there is "weighted" action. and there is "actual hammer" weighted action... try first!! It is the PRO Yamaha gear I like, not so much the consumer/Costco level stuff. +++

Above Yamaha pro-level stuff, there is NORD... pricey, and I can't tell you much about it. My criteria for creative technologies is "Robust/Stable/Effortless(UX)" For instance I prefer Nikon over Canon, because Nikon controls are easy and intuitive, it's better UX.

I'm with you on that a great ux is a great thing

For creative tasks, particularly media manipulation, an intuitive dedicated physical interface is king. One needs to be able to develop "motor memory" so that creation flows without conscious effort. Mice driven interfaces KILL this!

A very frustrating problem is debit and credit card readers and ATMs there's no consistency between different brands and it actually causes a lot of confusion the same is true with remote controls

UGH!! I recently was doing an online transaction that required a 4 digit pin, and.. ...The position of the 10 numbers on the virtual keypad (which required mouse clicks) were random and CHANGED every time you hit a key!!! HOW the F&#* is that supposed to improve security? OMG.
