Size
There are a number of different key sizes found on synths and keyboards. There are "mini" and "slim" keys and full-size keys. Each of these keys has a distinctive design and feel. But what's important is the whole package, not just how many there are or whether they are full-size or miniature.
For instance, there's the Casio SA 51, which has a total of 100 sounds and 50 rhythms yet remains smaller in size than alternative models. It's also lightweight and is a great tool for practicing. The MicroKorg XL also has smaller arrows, but a larger space to move right and enter buttons. So it is all about what you need from your keyboard and how much portability is important.
