How easy are the keys to pull off, for a child? I'm looking for something very solid, is this a good solid keyboard?

Purchase for my grandchildren 4 and 5 years old. The keys are hard to get off but just like any other key board if you use a knife or screw drive or something of that nature you can pop them off. Just to pick them off no it didn't happen for us and believe me if there was a way my grandson would of figured it out. Hope this helps.

Yes, it is a great starting keyboard. 10 year old is learning basic piano on it and loves it. It is placed against a wall where no one can knock it off the stand. It is true the keyboard just sits on the stand with no attachment, but if you have it in a place where no one can hit it, it is fine. I would purchase it again.

It's a little tighter than a normal keyboard. But I'm a guy and have decent size fingers and I rarely miss a key. It's basically like typing on a regular keyboard. The learning curve is minimal. It took me about 2-3 uses to get used to it.

In my opinion, this particular keyboard might be difficult for a six year old to manage. The quality is... Well let me just say, you get what you pay for. The keys are plastic and require a bit of pressure in order to type.

The keys are solid. It is smaller than a standard keyboard. However you would not want it any bigger. Just a reminder, mine does not work as a case. It is to loose of a fit.

It's a small keyboard mainly just because it leaves off the separate arrow keys and numpad. The actual keys and spacing are normal size. I would still say yes it's good for a smaller kid use.

It's not super loud and clicky. But it's not silent, either. I'd say average for a keyboard. Can you hear your current keyboard? I'd test that with someone to get a baseline.

I haven't had any problems. The top is secured on very well. I lift it by the top when I want to move it. I haven't had any problems with the keys but my toddler (grandson) is not rough with the overall piano. He does hit the keys hard though and it's been fine. The only drawback that I can see is that the letter board behind the keys is cardboard and if he discovers that, I am sure he will pull it off so I might tape it because I would like to keep the letters in tact.

I hear the keyboard is fine. It takes a bit of getting used to as there's no curvature to the keys, but they're supposed to be firm and easy to press. Personally I'd appreciate it just because the solid backing makes it harder to ruin your computer with a spilled drink, and the recessed tray means your display doesn't rub against the keys when closed.

Good evening Mick;I was not concerned about a media key on the keyboard and pretty much knew that when I bought it. My keyboars did not have any paper work with it or instructions. The keyboard serves my needs just fine with my big fingers and the touch is very good. I also noted that none of the keys are assignable in other words there are no spares to assign a medial function to. I am sorry but that is what I have found out about it but still like it

Not hard at all, it is just like a normal keyboard......mine did not last very long though, tab key was not operable after about 6 months of use.

Not difficult at all. It's light and flexible. It's turned out to be a terrific case for my 5 year old. I'm extremely pleased.

I think it is a good one. I'm using it now. The keyboard is smaller than a standard one, but you can get used to it like I did.

If you feel comfortable workign with Delicate parts and removing the keyboard it is not too bad. There is a great U Tube video that walks you through it. If you are not handy is Not Easy

I prefer the key, I thought about the combination lock but didn't think that it was secure enough from a child playing with the lock and getting lucky. A curious child will eventually figure out the combination. At least with a key I know that as long as it's on me I've got the way in....provided the child/person doesn't have a screwdriver and hammer.

I consider this an "old fashioned" type keyboard that has real keys and it easy to touch type on. This is a very plain keyboad - but easy to type on. I would purchase another one.

I can't speak to that. I had trouble with the letter keys. They "pop" on to the keyboard. The first day I used it the letter 'a' popped off I never did get it to stay on. Impossible to type anything when you keep having to put the letter back. I was surprised at the poor design.
