This review is for CASIO CTK-2080.
I normally do not buy electronics until I read lots of reviews on it. But I must admit this was an impulse buy. I bought this at a target store when I saw it at clearance price of fifty bucks. I was totally taken by the size of the box and the weight. Even kids toy keyboard cost $25 bucks so I figured how bad could this be for $50? Well, I was pleasntly surprised at the quality of the sound and features. Please keep in mind that I'm not a piano player, just wanna be at best. So, when I say sound quality is good, it is good to someone who is not a piano player :).
What's in the box:
1. Keyboard
2. Keyboard stand (you have to put it together)
3. AC Adaptor for Keyboard
4. Music sheet holder
5. Song book (Music sheet 90 songs)
What is not included but I wished it was is the sustain pedal. Oh well.
Keyboard comes with 110 song banks, 150 rhythems, and 400 tones. I have not played with any of the tone other than the grand piano. To me it sounds good. Keys are not weighted like the high-end models (might have to pay upwards of $200+ for that I think) and since I didn't have a sustain pedal at hand, I couldn't tell you how well it works. Volume is fairly decent but I do have to crank it to almost mid high or high. But I'm going to hook it up to my peavey keyboard amp so that is not going to be an issue for me :). Music sheet holder is a nice touch but since I can't read them I won't be using much at the beginning. But this will definitely come handy down the road.
If you want to know the songs and tones, take a look at the picures I posted.
Stand (you need to assemble) is decent. After i put it together, when I stood it, at first it didn't balance properly on hardwood floor. The direction to put stand together wasn't very helpful. At the end, I just used some common sense and after moving it to carpet, it is working fine.
On the back, there is an output/phones jack, so that you can hook up your headphone or in my case a peavey amp. Also a port for sustain pedal, audio-in and usb port for connection to PC. Since it does have sampling capability, if you know what you are doing, you do a lot. It does do MIDI if you are interested.
All in all I'm very pleased with the product given the price. Keyboard with similar features and quality would be worth at least $120 to $150 in yamaha or some other brand.

I bought this keyboard from a store after reading several descriptions online that said it was touch sensitive
it is not touch sensitive.
I believe this was unintentional by the retailers the ctk 2080 ,2200,2300,and 3200 share the same manual.
if you read carefully only the ctk 3200 has the touch response.
