Are the keys weights, does it feel like an acoustic piano?

The keys are not weighted. They are sensitive to touch, as in, if you strike it hard, it will produce a louder sound, but it doesn't feel like a real piano.

Not really. But I've been playing mine for several years now and the feel of the keys is really okay. It isn't enough of a difference to be a bother. However, the harder you hit a key, the louder it plays. That's a nice feature.

I do not know what an acoustic piano 'feels like'; I do know and can tell you that the weight of these keys are not as 'heavy' as a regular piano key. The SOUND is fantastic. The size of the keys are 'real size'. The keys are 'lighter' and will increase in sound depending on how you 'push' them down, just like a real piano/organ. Hope this helps.

Deana, it is weighted meaning that softly tapping produces a softer note than slamming/pounding (so to speak). The amount of pressure placed on the keys affects to volume of the sound being produced. However, it is, of course, not a real piano. It's electronically produced sound as opposed to a mallet striking a wire. But, yes, it plays like a real piano. The clicks and annoyances spoken of in other reviews are legit, but they don't bother me.

They feel like a real piano to me. They have sensitivity like a real piano too, if you hit it hard it's louder, you can play softly, so you can get the intonation of a real piano. It can be set to just blat out notes like other keyboards, maybe that's what others are experiencing. I like it as well as the grand piano I grew up with. Plus it comes with a sustain pedal so you have even more control over the sound.

The keys are not weighted. Generally you have to spend quite a bit more to get weighted or semi-weighted keys.

Yes. It has fully functioning built-in speakers and can be played just like an acoustic piano. I hope this answers your question.

The keys are a decent combination of the feel of weighted keys, while being touch sensitive at the same time. I use this keyboard for my music-writing pass-time/hobby and like the feel of it very much.

As others have said, the keys are full size. They're plastic and feel more like a low-end portable organ than a piano-- i.e., they aren't weighted or semi-weighted, and feel a little "springy" as you're playing. I'm used to playing this type of keyboard, so it doesn't bother me, but people who are more used to a piano keyboard may need to adjust to them a bit. There are 4 touch sensitivity settings, so you can set it to three levels of touch sensitivity (low, medium, or high) or turn the touch sensitivity off entirely (the fourth setting).

I bought this for my wife who has always dreamed of playing and is in fact self teaching currently. I was quite impressed with her chord progressions the other day. I'm actually a guitar player but to me the action of the piano keys feels just like a piano with ivory keys. Hope this helps.

Keys are not weighted at all and clack when pressed hard. I like it though, I use it with ableton live 9 and have never had any problems

I did not move a piano, but did move a huge wooden dresser. The lifting tool feels like steel, did not even bend a bit. Was very pleased with this purchase.

Hmm...that seems right... But that's not heavy at all....that weight is spread throughout the whole keyboard...the keyboard is pretty darn light actually.... VERY LIGHT AND THIN...

Yes, the keys are weighted. I am not sure if they are weighted the same as regular pianos (non-digital). But they work just fine, more than enough for beginner learners any way.

Yes, the keys are light like a keyboard, not like a piano. Not even like semi-weighted keys. They are however sensitive to velocity.

I bought this for my kid, so I'm not the one playing it. But, I did notice that the keys feel more like a piano than an old Casio keyboard I had. My old Casio was like a "switch", either on-or-off, and you could feel that mechanism as you pressed the key. This new Casio is more like a piano, but I don't recall if the loudness works like a piano (soft if you hit the key soft, loud if you hit the key hard)... I want to say it does.

Yes, the keys are weighted. To an accomplished pianist, it might not feel quite the same as a real piano - but to a casual piano player (student, really) such as myself, it's close enough for my purposes.

The action is lighter than a real piano, but you soon get used to the feel. It obviously does not have the texture and depth of sound of a real piano, but is fine for a practice instrument - I would not want to use it for gigs.

the keys are barely weighted, pretty much unnoticably so. They have more of a synth-action than anything else
