A piece of... First of all, the the provided installation CD that comes with it can't get the piano working. I had to head over to the poorly designed Dream Cheeky website to download the latest program for this.
When I finally got the piano to run with the program, it was extremely extremely terrible. You have to press really hard on the keys which makes keyboard playing impossible. Also, what's worse, there's a terrible delay time when you press the keys. You press a note, and have to wait almost a second before the sound actually comes out.
I tried this on another computer, which has the latest in specifications (as compared to my personal computer), and the same problems occur.
Get a proper midi controller if you want to play a piano on your computer. Forget about these USB gimmicks and get a professional keyboard like an M-audio Keyrig. They're the real deal at a very affordable price. That's what I did in the end.
You have got to stay clear of products from Dream Cheeky.

Decent USB Gadgets Yeah, I've always wanted to try this product, and since I'm not that good in writing essays, I'll try to make this review short.
This product does not take a lot of spaces, which is a huge positives, since I do not have much spaces to spare.
The piano keys are harder to press than I'd imagined. You'd need to press them with a bit more power than the normal piano, this unfortunately, slows down the piano plays. I'd say this product is better for the learners as they do not play as fast as experienced players.
The manufacturer is actually Dream Cheeky, not sure if its the same as Dream Link, but the link that's included with the software CD was broken, this is okay though, as you can go to the website manually and download it yourself.
