Fun:
The Rock Band 3 keyboard accessory is a fun addition to the game, but its really easy on party mode and really difficult in pro mode. There is no way I will ever pull off Pro Hard or Expert even though I am expert at all the other instruments). Also, the song support is much weaker on keyboard, leaving you with playing only the latest songs. There are older songs that clearly contain keyboard parts, but that haven't been re-created for the new instrument. So don't expect much to choose from at the moment. You can always play the bass or guitar parts using the keyboard. Ths is actually somewhat easier than on the guitar accessories since you don't need to do any strumming.
The quality of the instrument is suprisingly good. There are claims that it is quite a good midi-instrument (search the net), although I have not used it for anything other than playing RB3.

Fun:
not as good as i expected. you are limited on what songs you can do and it seems to be all the ones we wanted to do that you dont have a keyboard requirement
Fun:
The first thing that struck me at the time of opening the package was how solid it felt. For a toy with such a low price it was of surprisingly high quality. The shape is that of a keytar (keyboard with a guitar grip), so you can just as easily hang it around your neck as you can place it on a table.
The song support for this product is unfortunately quite limited, but to make up for that you are able to play guitar or bass as well.
As accustomed to a keyboard as I am, the basic mode is a bit too easy for my taste, but there's where the pro mode comes in. With the pro mode you can actually learn to play the parts as on a real keyboard, though the somewhat limited range (just over 2 octaves) has forced the developers to do some workarounds. Still, if you take what you have learned from Rock Band to a real keyboard/piano, you should be able to figure it out.
On top of that, the keyboard is fully MIDI compatible, meaning you can plug it into a MIDI sequencer or a PC (using a regular MIDI cable - sold separately) and actually make some real music.
