gateway drug, got the youngest one this for xmas last year to nooodle on. turned into weekly lessons, a "free" upright piano off of craigslist and professional tunings every 6 months.
Got this keyboard last year for my kid for the same reason, stuff to during covid lockdown. Got the Simply Piano subscription and it's working out pretty great so far. Low entry if it doesn't pan out. Lots of fun songs that he likes.
Definitely not instructor replacement, but if he's into we'll invest in an instructor in the new future.
FYI, the usb-midi port and the headphone ports are not isolated so you get weird feedback when using an iPad for simply piano.

Thanks @op, getting one for the kid just to see if she is into piano.

Lack of touch sensitivity limits the use case for this keyboard a lot.
Even if you're a beginner, one of the first things you learn in your first piano lessons is the need to play with dynamics (loud and soft)and be conscious about how much pressure you're applying to your keys.
The piano was a game changer when it was first invented because of its ability to play with dynamics, bringing a whole new level of expression.
IMHO the use case for this is as more of a beater, low stress purchase for someone who already has some experience playing and wants to play non-real instrument sounds equally loud. (Ie Synth sounds). Or you really want to play harpsichord.
For this price there are also better choices if you want to use as a controller for GarageBand.

I purchased one at Costco for $110 I think and i love it as a beginner. We have a nicer weighted key piano in the garage but I like that this one is very portable, light and I don't have to baby it because it honestly wasn't that much money. I leave it in my trunk in it's protective case that it comes with and practice when I'm at home or my girls place.

For anyone who is thinking about learning to play the piano. Don't, this is a bad keyboard to learn on. You want something with weighted keys, decent action, and absolutely with 88 keys.

Got the light up version of this from Amazon (LK-S250). It's quite a bit more, but you can follow along with built in songs, or connect to a tablet and learn to play songs from any midi file. It's not the most advanced keyboard ever, but it's a great learning tool for the kids. They (and Mom and Dad) are having a lot of fun hearing and learning Super Mario songs.
couldn't resist the low price. was thinking of buying the costco one for my 5 year old son, but even that was expensive ~600 bucks. this is only 1/10 of that price.
giving this a try to see if he is interested in piano. if not it's thrown away investment. if interested, i'll spend the 10x money and buy the costcco one.
