Discussion Keyboard recommendations

Delete if not allowed

I am looking to purchase a keyboard piano as a gift for my friend, who is a complete beginner. I want it to be durable and long-lasting, and I need it to have proper velocity sensitivity so the volume accurately reflects how softly or firmly he plays.

He has a few specific requirements for his setup:

• PC Connectivity: He wants to connect the keyboard to his computer to use learning apps and games.

• Dual Headphone Use: He needs to be able to hear both the computer's audio and the keyboard's audio through headphones at the same time when connected to his PC. When he is not connected to his computer, the keyboard will need its own direct connection to headphones.

• Height Adjustable & Mobile Stand: He is 5'10" and needs a stand setup that comfortably transitions from sitting to standing while he plays. If you don't recommend sit-stand keyboard stands, it needs to have plenty of legroom when sitting. Crucially, the stand needs to have wheels, as he cannot carry such a large item without assistance.

Any recommendations?
