Casio SA-75 Keyboard Review

Equipment was shipped in a timely manner, and in excellent condition when it arrived.  This is a great starter's keyboard for my young son.  The only drawback is that the headset microphone doesn't have a headphone built in.  Otherwise, it's a nice piece of equipment.

It was the only tenkeyless I could find for under $80. It's still a very good keyboard. Solid build. If you're looking to switch the keys around (I use Dvorak), you'll run into issues unfortunately. You can put other keys to the index finger spots but you can't put the default index finger keys (F and J) in the other slots. You can't cut away at the plastic either so I ended up interchanging U and J, and F and H, which is both cases are similar enough to scrape away at and make your own letters.

The keyboard arrived in perfect condition and feels awesome, though i don't like the cable management; i got the blue switches .i didn't use the CUE software much yet.

you can customize each switch lighting and even set custom timing as a gradient effect for each switch. thought it seems to be quite harder and time consuming than you think.

i use the ripple key typing effect so far; i might edit my review to be more in depth after i use the keyboard for a month or so .

I'm writing this in Nov 2014, and bought this from a store in 2011. (1) It has the right key action and feel for efficient, effective, comfortable typing. (2) mine has the same model number, so I'm mystified by some of the reviews which say things which don't seem to apply to this product in my experience, so I wonder of they really have the same product.  (Size of keys, "mushy", "loud".)  I think a totally silent keyboard probably exists, but certainly wouldn't be optimal for me, and this one has the average keyboard sounds - nothing unusual.  The layout is totally standard - nothing unusual.  (3) I recently bought a new high-end Dell Optiplex computer.  Very happy with it, but the keyboard that came with it is LOUSY - keys stick and hang up, so I went back to this "64370A".  Fingers fly effortlessly!  (4) Paint has worn off all or some of 8 of the keys, and this is a problem for me.  (The fact that I sometimes type in a foreign language adds to the confusion.)  HOWEVER, this seems to be offset by: (A) the low price and (B) one of the reviewers said that she also had the same paint wear-off issue, and that Kensington geve her a new keyboard!  I don't think I have my proof of purchase, but will be happy to buy a new one and take advantage of the lifetime warranty in the future.  As other reviewers have, I highly recommend this product.  Best price and quality.

Like a lot of other previous comments, it is fairly small. However, for someone who has slightly small wrists, it's not big of a problem for me. Been several days and hasn't been off by a second. Casio watches are just have always been reliable for me. In conclusion, it's a great problem if you are not too worried about having a small watch.

First mechanical keyboard, so I don't have much to compare to, however I do like the responsiveness of the keys and have played a few games.  The most I can say is that is that it's enjoyable to type on.  I will update if there are any issues.

To start off, figured I'd say what I will be using this keyboard for, and with. I've been using this keyboard with my galaxy note 2014 12.2 tablet, and I am a college student, so I am using this keyboard for several hours a day. I have been using this keyboard for about a day now, and it has met my expectations, and even exceeded them in some areas. So lets get to the short point, is this keyboard worth your time and money?yes; and here is why.

Pros:
- This keyboard has phenominal batterylife, but that is expected from most bluetooth keyboards
- has customizale backlight to help illuminate your keys
- they keys are much like a regular laptop keyboard, which is a plus for me because that last few bluetooth keyboards I have used have had mushy keys.
- It has a natural lift in the front end, making it a little easier to type (this means the keyboard is not level but inclined slightly)
- several different modes to fit your every need.

Cons:
- There are only a few cons, one being there not as many quick access keys like you might be use to, IE. . . email keys or web browser keys, other then that it has everything one would need.
- also the when tapping the space bar, it doesn't always read if one if not pressing on it hard enough, but that is a minor issue.

Conclusin: For the price, this is a phenominal keyboard, and extremely accurate, not one keystroke of mine has not registered, and Iused this to write the review. If you are looking at this keyboard, Ihighly (i left the i+highly mashed together on purpose to show you how the space bar does not press all the time) reccomend this keyboard.

I am a pro writer in Nashville. I needed some sort of highly portable keyboard to have access to in the trunk of my car, etc. for writing dates. It needed to be light, have it's own speakers, I wanted it to have a way of recording what I was playing, preferably have the option of battery operation and, most importantly, have a good piano sound. My final criteria was that I wanted 76 keys instead of the normal 61 key that are found on smaller keyboards (ala the Yamaha PSR series). I had decided that - for the money - the only contender was the Yamaha DGX series. What a surprise when several keyboard players recommended I check this unit out. I have to admit total bias against the casio name. But I tried it and it sounds great. The piano, organ and electric piano sounds are wonderful. It is a bit larger and heavier than the 61 key PSR series by Yamaha but the sounds really beat the DGX until you get to the top of that line (or certainly the top of the PSR line). One word of caution, the only audio output on this keyboard is the headphone output. So if you plan on playing it live you'll want to get a cable that goes from 1/4" TRS to Left and Right outputs. I can't believe what $300 can buy in a keyboard. Casio has really shocked me with this one.

I wanted a keyboard which would replace my (very excellent) piano when we moved into a small apartment.  I am not using all the special effects, and probably never will.  I  read all the reviews and chose the Yamaha YPG-535 with 88 keys.  It is good enough, but not perfect.  My main complaint is that when I am stretching to reach a large chord, a couple of my middle fingers hit the dead spot in the back of the keys, and they don't play.  This applies to all keys:  There is a dead spot at the base of the keys.  This is not a problem on a piano.  So if you are just learning to play the piano, the technique will be somewhat different from the keyboard.  I think it is probably very good for beginner to advanced beginner, but once you get into some "bigger" classical music, it requires a different technique.  You have to pull back your fingers to the front of the keys so they will play.  That being said, when I put on the excellent headphones and play, the tone is very good and it is a joy to play (except that I am out of practice and the errors are awful!)  Read the instructions in the manual before you put the stand together!  We didn't find them until we were through!  They would have saved us a lot of time and confusion.  Once set up, it looks very nice, I recommend covering the keyboard with a cloth or something to protect the keys from dust and dirt.  It's not like a piano, with the cover that slides or pulls out to cover the keys for protection.

Great purchase. Very styling and compact, but I can feel some lag when typing. The "A" button on my keyboard does sometimes not function properly. I have to type a couple time. Overall, I would recommend this keyboard.

Wow, this was the fastest delivery that I have ever gotten, after making an Amazon order.
The package was undamaged.  The contents of the keyboard box all appeared in new condition.
One single easy understandable instruction sheet was included.  The keyboard paired with no
problems.  Initially the mouse pad showed no activity when I moved my finger across it, but
within seconds activated after pressing the scroll button with the finger icon on it.

PROS: I like that this is a full sized keyboard.  I am using it with an Asus Chromebox, model M004U
  This is such a beautifully designed keyboard, light weight, with lots of features.  It is stated to pair with
  Windows OS, Android OS, and Chrome OS.  Wow, a quality keyboard at
  an amazing price $18, regular price $29.99
CONS: Typing is difficult and needs to be done on a desktop, although it can be done if you hold it on your lap;
  extremely difficult from the floor.  The touch pad is extremely unpredictable; while moving
  the cursor across a screen it is easy to activate a link without intending to do so.  Pressing the mouse buttons can get some unusual results; like clicking for one location and when you type the text shows on a different location.  That is extremely frustrating.  The esc key does not work in most programs or internet.  The battery life is extremely limited if you
  leave the switch set to on all the time.  Some of the keyboard key combinations can be
  quite tricky to perform.

I enjoy the features of this keyboard. I like the key-press feel - just the right amount of resistance. I also like the inverted-T layout of the arrow keys - rather than the diamond pattern that some others have gone to.

The only downside (and the reason I didn't give it 5 stars) is that the key labels on mine have worn off after only a few months of use. The fact that I'm (mostly) a touch typist makes this not so significant but, for those times that I need to find a particular key, the fact that I am a touch typist means that I don't consciously know where a specific key is located. So finding the key I want is more challenging.

If you're not a touch typist, you'll want to be aware that finding the desired key may become difficult after the keyboard has seen some use.

2015, June: Great keyboard for the price.  I did not care for my official, smaller, Mac keyboard but I had gotten used to it so this full-size keyboard has taken a little bit of adjustment.  I had forgotten that most keyboards make noise as these keys are very clicky and not sealed.  The space bar was detached when it arrived but it was easy enough to re-attach it. My official Mac keyboard and mouse did not last as long as I thought it should, so I am not particularly loyal to them.  I just finished school so this keyboard will probably be around for awhile since I am now just a daily recreational user.  Overall, it feels solid and is a good value for the $19 I paid.

2016, Sept:  Still in use.  A few number keys are starting to stick and this unsealed keyboard is very dirty.  All in all, still a great Mac keyboard for the price.

2016, December: A key is sticking on the numeric keypad, which I use a lot, so I am replacing the keyboard with the exact same one as before.  You cannot beat the price, I like the full size, and I use the extra features, like volume keys.

I am using this keyboard primarily as a controller keyboard, so I am rating the Casio PX160 primarily for its feel. I am using Pianoteq Stage (an incredible $130 piano modeling program) going through a desktop, a Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 audio interface (not necessary), 2 KRK Rokit 6 G3 speakers, and Sennheiser HD 650 headphones. I also purchased the stand and 3 pedals that are sold with Casio PX160 and 360.

For a setup that cost maybe $1500, the sounds I'm getting are otherworldly, and the feel of this keyboard is magnificent given its ridiculously cheap price compared to a really good piano. The PX160 and PIanoteq are a match made in heaven.

I played similarly priced Yamaha digital grands and they don't have as solid of a feel. They don't have the ivory texture to the keys. They don't have 3 sensors for accurate playing.

The reason why I mention all the peripherals that I'm using is that if you really want the incredible piano playing experience on the cheap, this might be a better choice than the PX360 which has 1) the same key bed, and 2) the same grand piano sound. I mean if you're going to use a virtual piano and speakers - which are a must to get the euphoric experience akin to playing a grand piano, then the PX160 has all you need. And if you put it in a flight case, it's still going to be under 50lbs for travel (even though you'll still probably get charged for the extra length).

I was disappointed that Casio did not upgrade the grand piano voices from the PX150. They just upgraded the electric piano, the organs, and the string voices. The piano is definitely halfway decent, but it doesn't have string resonance. You won't hear the sympathetic resonance when notes are played together.

It's nice that they added an audio out. The speakers sound ok, fine for practice. If I were on a really low budget, I would at least get some good computer monitors with a subwoofer, and perch the satellites on top of the Casio's speakers. You really need good speakers to capture the bass of a grand piano.

Unless you have at least $800 more to spend, I say, go with Casio.

I am holding back the fifth star, I have been using this keyboard for 3 weeks now and see from some old reviews that it doesn't age well. As of now I find it perfect. Perhaps the old complaints (from several years ago) have been taken care of.

Let me address them:
Firstly, someone who was a touch typist complained about the key spacing. As one who learned to touch type on a mechanical typewriter around 1950 let me point out that any change in keyboard requires a bit of adjustment of "finger memory" on spacing. My thumbs couldn't find the space bar at first on this keyboard, they are now quite comfortable with it. I'm still making a few mistakes, but the muscle memory is improving. I'm used to this - I went from mechanical (real mechanical, one had to push the striker all the way for it to hit the paper) to electric (still mechanical) to selectric, to computers - and to all the variations of computer keyboards. No problem learning this keyboard.

Second issue. Complaints about the pressure needed on the keys. I find no problem with my Azio. The keystroke is longer than some, but I like that as it prevents me from inadvertent keying. It might be a problem for "hunt and peckers" used to an iPhone, but I don't have one of those. Perhaps over time the keys will get sticky, but I feel no indication of that so far.

Third issue. This one I'm really not sure of. Some have had a problem with the key surface wearing out. From the photos of the problem it seems as if the "black paint" is wearing away blurring the letters. The reason I got the backlit is the reverse, my other keyboards had the "ink" in the letter wear away on the most used keys. The wearing away of the surface might have to do with "sticky keys" on the Azio, or it might be a general problem. If I start to see wear of the key surface I'll look into using a clear protective coat on the keys.

In summary, I'm happy with my purchase and would give it a five star rating if I weren't concerned about those latter two things happening in the future. FYI, I probably have given the keyboard a couple of months wear compared to most - I write long letters (as you can tell). I also write articles for my web site. So far, so good with the Azio.

They have done an amazing job with this keyboard that I am typing with right now. The LED's are nice and bright, but not too bright, I usually keep it on the highest setting, but my workspace is pretty dark so I like the light to kind of illuminate the area. The keys are sensitive, which some may not like, but I find easier to type with and good for gaming, because it makes it easier to slide across the keyboard without worrying if you pressed it hard enough or not. The keys aren't so sensitive that it presses if I lay my hand on it, so it still has enough resistance. The keys are not very spaced out, which some may not like, but they aren't any smaller than an average sized keyboard. The number pad and arrow keys though are spaced perfectly, my old keyboard had the arrows touching the shift, enter, and control keys, I hated that. It made it too hard to keep from pressing another button when playing shooters. The keyboard also looks good with the light off, I thought the keys would be junky see-through plastic to allow the light to shine through, but color wise, it's as solid looking as a mac keyboard. The black around they keys is stylish, and doesn't seem to be to much of a finger magnet, despite its reflective surface. The silver edge around it looks good too. The back also has two flip out pedestal stands, so if you don't like your keyboard laying flat, no worries! The wire is long enough, though not particularly long, long enough. maybe, 4 1/2 FT? I am pretty bad at estimates though. This keyboard is great and I recommend it to everyone, especially for the price! I would say this keyboard is worth around $50.

I would. This is an incredible buy and Zorro is a good store front to deal with. The Casio is outstanding quality. There is not a thing short of the looks and feel of a great quality grand. I had another Casio earlier and this one is better because you can detach the keyboard easily and go rehearse some where else. The pedal that comes with it is actually not all that bad, responds fairly similar to a real one. Action is great. The means of getting at Casio's functions (metronome, built-in sounds, built-in songs, etc.) is so intuitive, you'll rarely, if ever, refer to the manual.
