is the piano touch sensitive?

We purchased this item but have had difficulty using it. I put batteries in it and it did not work. In fairness I have not spent a lot of time tryimng to figure out what is wrong. But than should I have to spend time trying to "fix" it?

It arrived to our house not working, and we never got it to work. It was a really busy time so I never got around to returning or exchanging it, but as you might expect, I don't recommend buying it.

I hate to say it, but it's not very sensitive to the touch at all. I just wanted to pick out a choral part and was quite frustrated even doing that. I don't see how anyone could possibly practice a piano piece for a lesson or things of that sort.

Yes it is, I bought the piano for my 6 yr old daugther to use when we´re travelling, and she loves it!!!

Is this a touch sensitive keyboard? ...........NO !!! not sensitive ! . http://www.casio.com/products/Digital_Pianos_%26_Keyboards/Lighted_Keys/LK-165/content/Technical_Specs/ . http://www.shopcasio.com/product/lighted-keys-lk165-61key-lighted-musical-keyboard

I think they are merely spring loaded and do not have a piano touch. They are so easy to depress that if you shake a little you will get sounds from unoccupied fingers that very lightly touch keys. Playing "clean" requires a different technique than on the piano.

Hi Rachel... it's touch sensitive so the repetitions depend on striking with the same pressure each time. For the money, I've been really happy with this practice piano. Hope this answers your question. Ron

I'm not sure, but can tell you that there are 3 touch settings (F73). I use setting #1, which is much like a piano, but not quite as stiff.

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.

Yes. It is a very good keyboard. It has lovely sounds, the feel of the keys is similar to a Grand Piano, it is lightweight, and I greatly enjoy it. I have almost played it every single day since I bought it in September for multiple hours. I love it. <3

No clicks. There is a soft "thud" when each key hits bottom, but that is similar to a real piano. It's the highest quality keyboard I have ever played, by far.

It plays and feels like a piano keyboard. I would says it's more weighted than sensitive. I hope that helps answer the question :)

Yes from what I know of keyboards. It is about the same as our upright piano.

Yes, as it has sampled classical pieces and is user-friendly. It also has a headphone jack to minimize noise and a damping pedal for a more genuine piano experience.

The keyboard is not touch sensitive, however, it's still a good keyboard for beginners

No. You just hear the music through the speakers or headphones. If you press keys, you will hear what you play at the same time, though. I am fully satisfied with the quality and features of this piano. Please see response from Terence Fitzpatrick for some more details.

No. Keys are very sensitive to touch. I prefer a cherry-brown for my gaming.

BTW, according to page 9 of the manual (http://support.casio.com/pdf/008/Web_LK240_165-E-1A.pdf) ... the LK-240 DOES offer touch sensitivity.

A touch sensitive keyboard would have a weighted keys which would act similar to a real piano. Harder you press the keys louder the sound and softer you press the milder the sound and so on.

Absolutely not! Not on mine, at least. It's keys are extremely easy to press and use, and feel much like a Hammond Organ (if you've ever felt one of those) haha!
