Growing up we had an organ, but I think that was actually air powered. My first definitely electronic keyboard was a toy that had just over an octave range.
A few years ago we found a much better toy for $3 at a garage sale. The kids have enjoyed wearing out a few sets of batteries on that. Maybe 3-4 octaves on it's mini-key keyboard.

yamaha ypg 535
some casio that i got for my 3rd or 4th birthday... it could play only 1 note at a time (1 note polyphony)
My definition of 1 note polyphony is only one finger worked at a time....lol
Getting the other ones in line was a job in itself...

i forget the but it was a casio back in 1998
My first electronic keyboard that I owned?
A Univox Organizer. Cool single manual organ that did an amazing b3 emulation for the early 1970's. I think I got mine in 1975. When Univox was bought and merged into what became Korg, the Organizer became the first CX series organ.
I also had an RMI 368 electronic Piano around the same time, but I think the Univox came first by a few months.
My first synth was Korg MS10 that I bought new in 1978.

- Vox continental organ, got it about 1980...
the 'white' keys were black & the 'black' keys white, it had drawbars etc.
When one of the circuit boards blew I couldn't find anyone to repair it for love nor money.
It ended up in the shed, then on the tip.
Bet it would've been worth a few quid now!

A friend of mine has one, it's pretty cool. If you have a myspace you can check it out in action, don't know if you actually need an account
