Buy The Right Adapter
The other reviews do a good job covering the size, sound, and features... so I'm skipping those. The overall package is reasonable for the price. The only draw back to this little keyboard is the missing power adapter. It wouldn't be so bad if the description or technical specs provided clear documentation to assist in locating an adapter that would work. Since this information is lacking, I've taken the liberty to do a little research and provide some direction.
The hard part identifying a suitable adapter is decoding the adapter specs. While the voltage and amperage are usually easy to decipher, the jack size is almost always a convoluted mess to discern. Companies may or may not employ standard jacks based on voltage. In this case everyone is fortunate Casio employs a standard "L" receiver jack. For more info on jack sizes use RadioShack's Adaptaplug conversion matrix: [...].
Knowing the voltage and jack type makes finding a suitable power adapter easy. The Casio AD-A95100L adapter works perfectly with this keyboard. You can buy one here: [...]. If you're a fact finder and want to understand the specs a bit better, just break down the adapter's name like so: AD = Adapter; A = America (the electrical wall socket type); 95 = 9.5V (direct current output voltage); 100 = 100V (alternating current input voltage); L = standard "L" jack size (outside diameter: 5.0mm; inside diameter: 2.5mm). The electrical specs are plainly printed on the adapter: Input: AC 100V 50/60Hz 280mA; Output: DC 9.5V 0.9A. So, you can see how the name and the specs align. Nevermind it being designed for a label printer, it will work with this keyboard. :-)
