Beginner musical keyboard/digital piano

[Phonic]

Really stuck what ones are good I am complete beginner, I need something that will be good for a newbie to learn.
I would like to play a mix of music when I am able to.

Yamaha PSR-E243
Does not have touch response or weighted keys.
£125.

Yamaha PSRE34.
Has touch response but not weighted.
£167.

M-Audio Keystation 88 MK2.
Semi-Weighted and touch response but needs a pc setup to use it.
£140.

Yamaha NP-11.
Has touch response but not weighted.
£167.

I am learning more to the M-Audio Keystation 88 at this time.

Quick question about the Yamaha PSR's onboard computer does really help you learn or just a gimmick?

Thank you for any advice you can give me.
Cheers.

NOTHING, in that price range, is anything any of us here would exactly call "GOOD."

If you're looking to start out learning to play piano style then take a look at the Yamaha DGX-640 or one of the lower end Casio Privias.

If you're looking to play more organ and synth style keys, take a look at some stuff around $300 to $400 and up. For instance Yamaha PSR-e433 or Casio WK6500 or WK7500 or XW-P1 or CTK 6000 or CTK 7000.

Honestly, even for a total beginner, most sub $200 keyboards are little more than childrens' toys.

PS >>> M-Audio keyboards are total crap. I wouldn't recommend one to my worst enemy...

Hi ! Look out for Casio CDP or PRIVIA Series of fully weighted 88 keys digital pianos. Thwy offer a bang for the buck and are great for beginners/intermediae playing !

I'll echo the sentiments about the Casio Privia. I was very impressed after hearing it. Never played it, but I hear it feels good too.
