One of the most notable differences is that the LK280 has a USB MIDI connection, which is indispensable if you intend to connect the keyboard to a computer.

They are very similar keyboards, the main difference being in certain features that only each one has, such as the Casio that has a microphone input and the Startone with its different modes and Pitch Wheel. If you want to sing better the LK 280 but if you want something very cheap the MK 300 is very good because it has MIDI, sustain pedal input and sensitivity on the keyboard for a very low price.

We found two digital keyboards very similar in their aspects and functions, the Casio slightly exceeds the Yamaha with its number of sounds and what if difference between both as before is the microphone input and voice effects that has the Casio LK 280 that you do sing very well.

Since 1946 Casio has been a manufacturer of electronic devices, including electronic keyboards, and today we will look at one of them: the Casio LK 265, a keyboard with illuminated keys (LK for Light Keys, all LKs have these illuminated keys) that makes learning much easier and thanks to its features and functions is ideal for children and people who want to start learning to play the keyboard, has a price of 183 euros, we go with its features:
It’s very interesting its function of illuminated keys because together with the 60 songs already configured allows us to have a repetition learning system, where we only have to press where we see a key that lights up and with practice and time, we can get to play a composition very quickly. (See the second video to understand better)

To be honest, these two models are almost exactly the same, both have their primary learning function which is the illuminated keys, which if you watched the videos, can also be turned off when we have had some time and experience of practicing with the instrument.
The main improvements of the LK 280 are: 200 more sounds, the sampler option to record loops of up to 10 seconds and play over them, record up to 6 tracks, or with the memory extension more, and slightly more powerful speakers. With all this we also have an increase in its price of almost 60 euros reaching 239 euros the Casio LK280

The Casio LK265 which as we have already mentioned has a price of 183 euro and the Casio CTK-3500 with a price of 150 euro, with a difference of only 30 euro since they are very similar keyboards (you can see it clearly in the comparative tables) we will see only their few differences:
If it is for a child, the LK265 will be ideal, if the keyboard is for a teenager or adult, with aspirations to learn or experiment with MIDI the Casio CTK 3500 will be ideal.
Right now the new model of the Casio CTK 3500 is the Casio CT S300 which is the one to buy. Everything we have discussed in this comparison applies equally to the CR S300, which are virtually identical.
