GO:KEYS 5 Music Creation Keyboard | 61-Note Keyboard | Built-In Stereo Speakers | Mic Input | Bluetooth Audio/MIDI Support for Music Streaming - White

This unit is advertised as a beginner keyboard, however it packs the punch of a much more expensive unit.I play professionally and it has come in handy as a great travel unit for the style of music I play. It doesn't have a full 88 keys but I'm not playing classical music just modern so I can easily shift the octives down or up when I play a song that needs it. If you are taking lessons on a real piano, and playing more classical pieces, I recommend getting a full 88-key board. The sound options are amazing. I've been playing it for weeks and still have hundreds of sound options to try. It hooks up to a mixer very well, and even has a dedicated microphone input. The arranger feature is great, even just to view the chords you are currently playing. Really great unit to use to learn lead sheets. It also has a a couple hundred already written chord progessions with set styles and beats which you can individually mute as you please. This is great to use as a backtrack when I play my saxophone. The power cord is strong and well made with a decent length, and conveniently it can utilize batteries as power as well. The look and feel of the unit are great. You can tell that a lot of time and energy went into the design. The buttons are responsive and accurate. The turndial was a great choice to easily scroll through the options. The screen is bright and easily readable. Can't recommend this unit enough.

I am beginner in playing the piano. This keyboard is just right! Good sound, perfect for small apartments, and aesthetically pleasing. Love it!

Sus ritmos son actuales, pero no se cargan tradicionalmente. Se deben usar paquetes y todavía no hay soporte o ritmos regionales. Su armonizador vocal y otras prestaciones son buenas para el precio.

Worth while purchase! I was impressed by the sounds and functions of this beginner keyboard. And it was WAY lighter than I expected. Some of the keys are not as close as they should be but at this entry stage its better than any other keyboard I've seen. The action is nice and the keys have decent resistance, it doesn't feel cheap but it doesn't feel expensive either.

Roland Go-Keys Released in 2019, the original Go-Keys was a lightweight, compact, battery-powered keyboard. I used it everywhere: on tour, while traveling, at the cabin, around campfires, even in bed. It was perfect for taking anywhere and playing without hassle. At $400 CAD, it was an excellent toy, great for casual fun and singing along with friends. The Roland Go-Keys 5 With more effects, a better display, improved sound management, and a 1/4” stereo output, the Go-Keys 5 is a solid upgrade. It also features additional speakers, improving bass response. The key action remains that of an entry-level keyboard, offering some velocity control, but nowhere near the feel of a professional instrument. I debated between the Go-Keys 3 ($599 CAD) and the Go-Keys 5 ($799 CAD), but the lack of a 1/4” stereo output and weaker speakers on the Go-Keys 3 convinced me to spend the extra $200 for the better model. User Experience I bought a first unit, but returned it immediately due to two major defects: •The pitch wheel didn’t function properly when pushed up. •The left speaker crackled above 40% volume, sounding like a faulty membrane. I got a second unit, and while the pitch wheel issue was fixed, the speaker crackling was still there, albeit less pronounced. After checking other reviews, I found out this speaker issue is common. At $799 CAD, Roland should address this flaw. For Beginners This keyboard can work for learning the basics, with its diverse sounds and fun features. But it will never replace a real piano. If you want to develop serious technique, you’ll need a better model. Transport & Accessories The Go-Keys 5 is larger than the original, so I had to buy a new case. I found a Profile bag (~$100 CAD), which is a good choice, but be careful with the sizing—the same model exists for the original Go-Keys, so make sure to pick the right one. Overall With 20 years of experience as a pianist and keyboardist, I’ve tested and played on many keyboards, and the Go-Keys 5 is an excellent toy, great for casual playing and easy transport. The sounds and features are fun, but the speaker issues are a real drawback. At this price, Roland needs to fix this problem. If they do, this could be a fantastic portable keyboard.
