Are they full size keys and how many notes can be played at once?

Keys are full-size. Unfortunately if I play more than 2 keys at once, i.e. a simple 3 note chord, I get a very ugly sounding 4th note. Can't figure out if its a defect in the unit or if it's supposed to do that. I use it to practice choral music so I'm mostly a one note at time musician but sure would be nice to hear a chord without it sounding dissident.

I havent used it without the computer so im not sure if it works independently but I know there is a battery port. What number of keys are you thinking about getting? I had a 49 and it definitely was portable on the road but on a plane im not sure depending on what size keys you get. the smaller one is def. A good size. The keys are for sure fun to play with and has great feedback when you play. I would recommend this midi keyboard for the price

They are, but you can purchase other cartridge's with different sounds. The Q Chord is a blast to play and my one year grand daughter loves playing the keys.

Yes they do. On the preprogrammed songs that come on the top of the keyboard. You can choose the speed and part you want to play.

no they are the same size as any other keyboard. Honestly though, the keys are kind of clunky. I'm starting to hate this keyboard now and wish I kept the box. As I said in my review, you get what you pay for.

white keys are 3 and 1/3 long and 1 inch wide. Black keys are just under 2 inches long and a quarter inch wide. Honestly, if you have big fingers, i don't recommends this cause the keys are too short, even for me when i'm playing sometimes

As others have said, the keys are full size. They're plastic and feel more like a low-end portable organ than a piano-- i.e., they aren't weighted or semi-weighted, and feel a little "springy" as you're playing. I'm used to playing this type of keyboard, so it doesn't bother me, but people who are more used to a piano keyboard may need to adjust to them a bit. There are 4 touch sensitivity settings, so you can set it to three levels of touch sensitivity (low, medium, or high) or turn the touch sensitivity off entirely (the fourth setting).

Hi, I bought the keyboard for my 7-year old daughter to practice and can only compare to a piano at her teacher's home. I would say that the keys seem the same width as the keys on a piano, but look a bit shorter in length. Hope this helps.

250 different "sounds" or instruments, but it excels at the piano sound. I am not crazy about the others. It has 128 notes of polyphony, which is good, but somewhere around 200 would be ideal for advanced players if you don't want some sustained notes to drop out during complex pieces. As far as key noise, there is a little, but not noticeable unless you have on headphones, and others are just listening to "key noise". Not really a problem. Overall I give it a 7 of 10, but if I were to do it again, would probably spend more on a more advanced keyboard without all the superfluous bells and whistles. 250 different "sounds" or instruments, but it excels at the piano sound.

Yes, but not all. Relative Minor Scales for G C and F, Eminor and A minor. Also as with any other Diatonic box you can "fake" quite a few other keys with missing notes. What are you intending to play??

I think they were in the Dvorak layout on the sheet to begin with. Of course you can put any sticker on any key you'd like. For the record here is the standard Dvorak layout.1st row: ' , . p y f g c r l /2nd row: a o e u i d h t n s -3rd row: ; q j k x b m w v z

Yes, you can play it like a piano ... you can even play your own notes to make music

Most of the keys are standard sized. For example, the distance between Q and ] is the same. But the tab and \ keys are smaller compared to a full sized keyboard

Yes, these are the same special 20s, just in a pack of popular major keys. It's a much better deal than buying them separately.

Yes , they are Larger than the regular keys . ( I have the same problem of my fingers being larger and always hitting the wrong keys , so this one was a better choice for me . )

It is big nough to write whatever you need. As you can figure it out, there is room for a normal keyboard, each key is about 7mm wide and hight, each.

The keys are shorter than most controllers. Synths/controller keys in general are a little smaller than piano keys (including better digital pianos), and A-500 and A800 are even smaller. That's why I sold mine. Really disliked the short keys. Disappointing, is superb controller for my DAW (Sonar), very good keyboard bed / action and quality (in my limited experience)... just... shorty keys.
