If you are a beginner then the keyboards with 32 or 49 keys will suffice. Those with 61, 76 or 88 keys are good for professional players who have completed a few levels.
A piano-sized has 88 full keys. So if you want to learn piano with the help of a 88-key keyboard, then a full-sized keyboard is a must. The lower keys is the most portable keyboard. The more the keyboard is practical, the lower the price. The only problem with less key keyboards such as 32, 49 and 61 is that while playing a complete composition, transposition is necessary.
