is this smaller than a standard keyboard? I am looking for one for my 5 year old

The keyboard itself is about 19" x 7". Each letter key is about an inch square. So, the keyboard is about the same size as a standard keyboard, but the keys are oversized. Also, the keys are lined up in a grid, while they are offset on my standard keyboard. I find it annoying to use, but my five- and three-year-olds love it. The different colors help them learn to use the different kinds of buttons, too.

No, I think the keys are bigger than standard. But notice that there are many missing keys, like all the F- keys.

The keyboard is full size if that's what you mean, just slim profile and no extra border keeping it small. The keys are "island" type like a laptop and seem pretty sturdy. Only time will tell if they hold up but seem promising.

It's about the size of a standard keyboard. Pretty light and comes with sweet track pad. One caveat though, it dies fast.

Yes. It's not as long as a normal keyboard. However, for it's size it does a good job. The keys are spaced out really well and the size is comfortable and large enough for your hands. I spent the whole day at work using my iPad compared to my computer and I didn't miss it.

I'm not sure;exactly what you are asking. It is a typical QWERTY keyboard except the keys are proportionately smaller. The keys are individual keys like you find on any typical keyboard. I have been using mine for over a month and like it so much I bought one for my daughter. I hope this helps.

no its a little bit smaller. kinda feels like the keys are cramped but depending on how much you use it. you should get used to the size

I can't help much. I got this Casio for my 14-year-old grandson who is somewhat bigger than your 5-year old. The height of the keyboard stand will be the limiting factor. Your 5 year old will have to both reach the keyboard and the pedals.

It's smaller than a regular key board and my son says it's harder to type on than a regular key board. He says it's really the same using it for the ipod or using the ipod itself. Hope this helps.

About 11" x 4.75" x .5" (amended from my previous response).It's a good solid small keyboard, but it's full-sized keyboard so not ultra-portable. Key action is good with weighted feel and clicks lightly as you type -which can be a pro (you know when you hit each key) or con (you are trying to type in quiet public environment).

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.

Physically it's more compact, but all of the main keys are full-sized (letters, numbers, punctuation). Others like HOME, END, PAGE UP/DOWN, ALT, CNTRL, FN, TAB, and FUNCTION KEYS are all smaller.

I think it is. It has the keyboard like an adult keyboard. There is alot of different ways to use it too. More for play for a 7 year old. For actual school learning - I would get an adult one.

The size of the keyboard is smaller than a standard keyboard for a laptop. It is designed to match the profile of the notebook that it is pared with.

It's a regular keyboard, just smaller. Works really well. Doesn't open as far as I would like, but is ok. Easy to attach and remove.

No, this keyboard is a standard usb keyboard with the standard sized USB cable physically attached to it. (The cable is not removable.) Adapters can be purchased for Usb to mini usb, or micro usb though. The keyboard is mini in size, but has a standard usb cable like those you plug into a laptop or desktop computer.

Yes, same as a PC keyboard but smaller with some eccentricities. I use it all the time when traveling.

It is very easy to press down the keys. I love it. Obviously it is smaller than normal keyboards so you have to get used to that. But I would buy it again and recommend it to others.
