Hey everyone. I'm looking to buy a cheap 88 key, weighted keyboard so I can get practice whenever I come home from college. I saw a few options on Amazon for less than $250, but either there were very few reviews or there were bad reviews. I don't need anything fancy with hundreds of instruments/tones, preferably sust something simple if that's possible. Can anyone vouch for any of them? I'm not looking to spend more than $250

I'm trying to get back into playing but I only have a 55 key cheap rinky dink keyboard and I want something a little nicer... preferably something with pedals but I understand for my price point that's asking a lot. I do definitely need 88 weighted keys and volume adjustment but that's all I "NEED" I could probably swing $500 but if there's anything out there that hits the $400 price point that would be awesome! TIA!
Originally bought an Alesis with semi-weighted keys just to help with pitch matching for singing. Ended up getting access to music practice rooms with pianos and have become spoiled. And also ended up liking piano more than anticipated.
Now all I can hear on this keyboard is the clunk of the keys when they spring back up. I wish I could have an upright piano in my apartment, but I don't have the space for one right now. :(
Any recommendations? Anything to steer clear of? Would prefer not to spend over $500, but that may be a pipe dream.
