So my friend is giving me a very old keyboard of his since I

Don't you guys play instruments here

If you're a beginner it honestly doesn't matter. Your not going to be doing huge 88 key arpeggios or anything. The thing to be concerned about with low end keyboards is the plasticky toy-like action of the keys, but it will still be a good learning device for you.

Yeah my friend warned me about that and how its not really sensitive to touch which sorta bummed me out but since he's giving me it for free I can't complain
Thanks for the input. Do you think since I'll be missing an octave or so it will make it hard to find resources though?

The number of keys won't matter much for now, but I'd really suggest getting a true weighted, hammer action digital piano. Weightless keyboards with no touch-sensitivity are as good as not playing anything. I've played for years on a normal keyboard with touch sensitivity, and when I switched to an actual weighted system, it blew my mind how hard it was to even get a significant volume of sound.
