Do the keys feel "life-like" (like a "real' and not like a toy electric piano)? thanks.

I was quite pleased with the touch. But everyone is different, and you should try to find a store where you can play a few notes first.

Yes they do rusty, it was a great but and I love playing it. Sounds very real and plays real

I actually own two of these. The feel is extremely good, and I recommend this instrument very highly. Its one of the few things I've ever bought that exceeded my expectations.

The keys are weighted, and feel mostly like a real piano, but don't feel _exactly_ like a real piano. On a real piano, you sort of feel the hammers swinging...on this the resistance is a little more even.

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.

That's strange, from what I've read it has a heavy touch. I have the piano (but I'm not a pianist) and I'd say the touch is heavy. Either way, if you're concerned I'd recommend going to a local music shop and comparing the available models.

No, I would not describe the sound of this digital piano as "toy like" at all. Of course, it does not sound quite like a Yamaha or Steinway grand piano, but it certainly does sound like a serious piano. The only thing that limits the quality of the sound is the built-in speakers. One can easily connect it to a good amplifier and larger, high quality speakers, and then its sound will be very close to that of a real grand piano.

Yes all keys work & I'm not home right now to test it yet I do believe they can be played simultaneously. It legitimately sounds like a real piano/keyboard.

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.

Yes, the keys are weighted. I bought this for my girlfriend last year and she loves it. Feels as close to a piano as I've felt as far as keyboards go. Hope this helps!

Nope, just a feeling that you have pressed the proper keys and small noise of the key being returned to the normal state...However if you use a hammer to press the keys... All bets are off !

It's not like a mechanical keyboard, but it does make a "click clacky" sound. It's a nice sound in my opinion, it wasn't that bad.

The ebony keys are not a high as a regular piano. The sound is the same whether you press hard or light. The volume controls adjust the sound of the keys.

Super amazed at how this feels exactly like a real piano. From the key weight, key action, and sound response, this couldn't be further from a toy piano. Really amazed to this point!!!

I have never measured the width of the keys to an exact comparison, but the keys look about the same, and they definitely play in the same way as I am accustomed to on a standard piano. Please understand, this isn't a piano, but I use it every day and enjoy it. I intend to buy one for my granddaughter, who has a piano, but who has fun with my keyboard playing all the optional unusual sounds.

yes. I purchased this for my grandchildren, but I play some, and have played this. I find it more like a "real" piano than a typical electric. It is still different, however.

I have the same preference for keyboards. This one, which I've been using for many months is definitely heavy. The key feel is somewhere between the soft feel of most modern keyboards and the older ones I really liked. I find it acceptable if not ideal, but I'm not a touch typist. The key travel is about 1/8 inch. Hope this helps.

This is not like a real piano. The keys give you no resistance when you press them. However, the harder you press these keys the louder they are.

The keys do not feel squishy. They feel exactly like a laptop keyboard. I have no idea what actuation and travel distances are, but I am quite satisfied with the keyboard. I use it all day long and it works exactly as I would hope.

I would say that they're soft enough. I had a keyboard where keys were even softer than here. It was Genius kb-16e, but they don't make it any longer. New Genius keyboards are not that soft, and most of them have flat keys, which I don't like.
