There are many keyboard brand available all over the world. I have only played using Yamaha, Roland, Korg, and Technics keyboard. All of them certainly have unique features, pros, and cons.
I prefer Korg for a Synthesizer since Korg is very great at mixing sound together (I have used Triton). For an Arranger Keyboard I certainly prefer Yamaha keyboard. New Yamaha keyboard are developed with great technology, they offer so many creative style and sounds. Recently I am using PSR S900 series, it's a very great stuff. For Roland brand, I don't really like newer Roland brand since they are a bit difficult in operation and the sound quality is below Yamaha keyboard in average for keyboard with same price range.
What about you? Which Keyboard brand do you prefer and why do you prefer it?

I have a yamaha dgx and I did have another yamaha earlier. Yamaha is a good brand but I can't really say it's the best since I haven't tried other brands such as korg and roland.
But overall, I'm satisfied with the yamaha keyboard but not just their keyboards, other yamaha products are great as well from guitars to drums.

Cool! Which DGX series do you have? I have only played DGX-620, which is very similar to Yamaha PSR S900 series (Mega Voice, Super Articulation voice, Cool Voice, etc). I think they are using the same machine inside. I am looking forward for a chance to play new Yamaha Tyros3, it is still not available in my city.
In the past, Roland certainly better than Yamaha. They have more variation, more cool voice, and easy in operation as well as new technology like Beam technology. But newer Roland product are very difficult to operate (compared to latest Yamaha keyboard). And I certainly agree with your opinion that other Yamaha products are great like guitar and drums. I play an old Yamaha Drum Custom edition with traditional mounting, it still sounds good and the wood is still in good condition also. For guitar accoustic, I have tried several brand but I like Yamaha most.
Thank you for sharing!

I prefer Casio. I haven't touched any other brand than that. I prefer Casio because their units and models sure are cheap compared to the other brands, and the quality and features are more or less similar. I have the latest CTK keyboards from Casio, the Casio CTK-5000.

I like the brand name Casio for wall clock and watch, not for keyboards. Yes, we can find Casio brand of keyboards out there in the market. You can find them displayed along side with other appliances like electric fan, microwave, refrigerators, TV sets, etc. in an appliance center/store. But try to visit well-known music store, you cannot find Casio brand keyboards displayed in musical instruments store. What you will find there are Korg, Yamaha, and Roland. Don't get offended by this, just my opinion. I think Casio keyboards are good only for those beginners and amateurs. If you're going to be a professional music player, keyboards player, I think you should upgrade to better brands like Korg, Yamaha and Roland.

I never buy a keyboard looking at its brand but here in India my friend has a multimedia keyboard of brand Perx which is quite good and advanced.So I prefer keyboards with brand Perx.

Perx? Never heard of it. But it's certainly not available in my city or even in my country. Can you give some link of the picture? And could you please describe some of it features to me, please?
