thanks anotherscott for your assessment. I would prefer also a keyboard with a better display, the casio looks toy-like.

Just seeing if anyone is out there that is...

Sounds good for new age sounds then...

The Duracell powerpack is heavier than both the keyboards!

Hi, I would like to here from anyone using the Casio Px-5s on rechargeable batteries of any kind NiMH, alkaline or whatever. I really am looking to keep my battery costs down as I am a street performer. A man in a shop showed it can work with rechargeables, just want to confirm whether anyone is regularly using it for gigs etc with rechargeables?  The alternative is a Kross, but you know what happened on the kross...joke.

Thanks in advance

The Kross has an option for changing from alkaline to NiMH batteries built in - you must set which one. The Kross has better orchestral - strings etc apparently??? I would buy the casio if it could run on rechargeables - just seems there is no one running it on rechargeables here...maybe I could modify the board so it can use rechargeables....

Chuck said the action on the Kross was good.

This is probably going to be a bias forum, but I am trying to decide on which of the following keyboards to replace my Yamaha s90ES with:

PX-5S

Korg Kross 88

Big dislike about the Casio - no rechargeable battery use - I plan to busk with the keyboard so it really is a consideration.

Korg Kross has a great drum sequencer and dedicated spilt and layer buttons and a much better LCD screen.

Any thoughts appreciated...

thanks in advance
