The piano, E piano, organ and string sounds are top notch both for stage and studio (I use it for both).
I love the feal of the wieghted keys, the buttons are soft to touch.
The midi, recording and other features are easy to grasp and the "online manual" on Youtube is a great resource for learning operation if you don't like to read a bunch of technical stuff.
Again you may listen to this keyboard online but when you get it home you will enjoy the warm tones and have many "wow very cool" moments.
I'm extremely happy with ctx 5000 at this time under $500. You just can't beat it. Alot of bang for your $$$.
Reviewed in the United States on June 20, 2021
This keyboard is meant for somebody who likes to tweak the factory sounds to their liking when learning. Casio is conservative on how they edited their sounds when putting it into their library (I.e. organs, electric pianos & pads); forcing the user to edit the sounds to their liking that can be painstaking, unlike Korg & Roland sounds are perfect out of the box.
Another thing I did not like about the keyboard that forced me to return it was its confusing sequencer and recording functionality that requires too much manual editing by consistently pushing the shift, function arrows and exit buttons to get in and out if the menu features.
Physically it is about what you'd expect. The fairly large speakers make for a slightly heavier keyboard but it's still light. The plastic construction isn't the most robust but it feels in no real danger of breaking in transport or use. The ports feel robust enough and the buttons are all functional and respond as expected. The keys have a shiny surface and a slightly rounded profile which isn't my favourite but is usable.
In terms of connectivity I had a sustain pedal and an expression pedal connected. It does not have DIN MIDI (usb only) so I'm using it with a Kenton USB MiDI host to integrate with the rest of my gear, which works fine, but costs about 1/3 the price of the keyboard vs a tiny cost to include when manufacturing. There is a headphone out and a pair of 1/4" master outs (connecting only the left results in mono. The headphone out has a retractable trim pot which is nice to see. The line outs don't have a trim, I which means their level reflects the master volume control only. This is an annoyance and means, when on the internal speakers, I need to turn the volume down (I sometimes just use the expression pedal.
The key action is acceptable but the keys feel a little clacky in use and the velocity response isn't that smooth and there is no aftertouch. The pitch bend wheel is very small and has a fairly big dead zone in the middle making it hard to use smoothly. Instead of a mod wheel you get a modulation button which is of fairly limited use. The speakers are surprisingly good and project well. Overall it's about what you expect for the money in this regard.
As for the sounds, they are a mixed bag. Some decent piano and epiano are a good start alongside some surprisingly usable guitar, strings, brass and reed instruments. A few of the samples are questionable and occasionally have very jarring velocity switching, but for the most part I found myself pleasantly surprised. The rhythms are also decent with fun accompaniment and a pretty big variety. The ability to record your own accompaniment is also great.
In actual use, it can be hard to access all the features. They tend to be hidden behind menus and long presses. Combined with the very limited display, navigating all but the direct features on the panel can be frustrating. For my use case, it's mostly a multi timrbal sound source for use under MiDi control and in that respect it works well and the interface annoyances don't inhibit it's usability.
Overall I'll say I'm happy with the keyboard. It sounds pretty good and is fairly usable. Given that the CT x700 has the same sound source and a much lower price, users looking for an entry level keyboard will likely be very happy. This keyboard is also good value but the lack of DIN midi is a little frustrating given the price increment over the lower models. In any case it's still hard to beat and I'd recommend the CTx range to others looking for a basic keyboard with a decent range of usable sounds.

Youtube has 7 tutorial by Casio about this keyboard. I will suggest to anyone want to buy this keyboard to watch those tutorial which tells you what this keyboard can do. Instead of reading the heavy manual, I watch the Casio Tutorial in Youtube instead to learn new features about this keyboard. Youtube also has 2 parts that show you all the rhythms that comes with this keyboard.
I am happy with my purchase. The price is great for all the features this keyboard has.
