Best Beginners Electronic Keyboard Suggestions

My uncle is turning 60 and would like a keyboard to keep his mind active.

What is the best beginners keyboard that is easy to use, easy to set up, and has a headphone jack so he can practice silently?

Our price range is around $300 max

    The logitech G815 sounds like exactly the keyboard for the job.

    Easy to use
    Choice of switches to practice silently
    Easy to setup an play in the dark with RGB
    USB passthrough for headphones
    Right in budget at $299.95

    Go have a chat to your local music store. They will point you in the right direction.

    I did, and then checked facebook and gumtree for the models i liked. I got a casio CTK3500 https://www.jbhifi.com.au/products/casio-ctk3500-keyboard that sits in the corner but it did what i wanted.

    $300 will get your uncle something awesome. I know there are even ones that light up the keys when your learning songs.

  • Wow took me way to long to realise you weren't looking for a computer keyboard… Thought gramps wanted to practice touch typing!

    I’m so sorry, I didn’t even think to clarify it was a piano keyboard 🤦🏼‍♀️ My bad haha

    • Some of us are a bit… Slow.

  • Keyboard or digital piano? I've got a Yamaha Piaggero NP-12 which is their cheapest electric piano (only 61 non-weighted keys) but sounds good. Costs around $250 new.
