a keyboard just doesn't have strings in it, it's all electric usually, and keyboards tend to be shorter than pianos, although i think you can get full size keyboards

Keyboards are all electric yeh, and some use MIDI sounds, others use some other form of electronic sound thingy. Also, keyboards keys are usually heaps easier to press down compared to piano, making it easier to play faster

A breakdown of Different Types:

Synthesizer(Keyboard)- Range from 61, 76, or 88 Keys. Have a synth action or a Balanced Hammer Action. They have a wide variety of different sounds, like Strings, Electric Pianos, Acoustic Pianos, Synth Pads, etc. They have great song writing features and effects, and complex song recording tools.

Stage Piano- 88 weighted Graded hammer action keys (with real piano action). Absolutely superb Acoustic and Electric Pianos, great effects. Sound and Feel exactly like an Acoustic Piano. Very Portable and Light.

Their is a big difference between a keyboard and a Stage Piano. Stage Pianos sound and feel exactly like an Acoustic Piano, while Synthesizers create cool leads and pads.
