Are the keys weighted or is it too small of a keyboard to have any sort of weight on the keys? (I have a crappy keyboard and the keys feel very cheap

the keys are not weighted. they're "semi-weighted" which simply means they use a tougher spring to simulate the heaviness of a piano key. it feels like a synth as in they still snap back up when you release them.

The OEM keys of the UMX are weighted but; what is most significant about them is that they are individually spring-loaded unlike less expensive keyboards which mold multiple keys on a common stringer of plastic which acts as a hinge and takes the place of the springs in the more expensive units.

The keyboard weight is next to nothing around 0.38 lbs. You do need to remember it is small but if you have a need to use the keyboard for emails or modifying Docs it does come in handy and it works very well. I use it when I am out and about for IT Work so I don't have to drag my laptop all over.

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.

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.

The keys are touch-sensitive, so the harder you strike them, the louder it will play the note. However I don't believe the keys are weighted

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

On the CTK 2100, they are not weighted. You have to step up to the CTK 3000 for weighted keys.

I'm shocked at the other answers. This keyboard is horrible compared to the keyboards found on Thinkpad laptops, which I've been using for years. If you are expecting the same good, solid feel of the keys you'll be disappointed with this keyboard. Very soft, weak feel to them. The mouse is also very small, which you may or may not like.

No, the keys aren't weighted, but you'll get used to it pretty quickly. And the keys still detect how hard you're hitting them, which determines the volume of that note, so doing proper dynamics isn't difficult.The keys make a slight clacking noise if you press them really hard, but nothing more than hitting any other object with your fingers would make. I don't think it would be possible to build it to be 100% silent, but there's nothing unexpected or unwanted. You won't notice the noise when playing unless the piano's volume is low.

They keyboard is very light...but I'm not sure if that's what you're asking. The computer itself is actually quite heavy by today's standards, but I have an toshiba portege, so I'm spoiled.

The keyboard lacks an actual counterweight system, which is what "weighted" usually means. You would generally need to spend another $200 (minimum) to get that. Though the spring system and the keys themselves are the highest quality you will find for a "non-weighted" keyboard (my opinion), and have a resulting weight that ends up coming very close to "actual" weighted keys. For this price range, it is a very impressive feel.

It isn't too heavy. I haven't weighed it, but it doesn't add significant weight to the iPad itself. Still light enough to throw in a bag or carry with a stack of books.The case is built to fit the keyboard- without it, there is extra space and the magnetic "snap" doesn't connect to hold it closed. It still holds the iPad just fine without the keyboard. The keyboard is just attached to the case by magnet.

The keys are not compacted if that's what you are asking. It is a small keyboard and basically as others indicated, it's only the keys. It feels a little heavy and give the impression of something that won't break in my opinion. Good luck.

Not an expert, but the weighted keys give the feel of a standard piano, and the sound quality is very good, however, I did notice that on some of the higher notes, you can hear a bit of an echo, but it is faint and only hear it if you are playing those notes only for a long time.

I bought it for my daughter but I believe the keys are weighted. Check the manual available online.

Yes, they are really, really light and springy -- not always helpful. Only if you are doing syncopated and percussive stuff has that been handy. But it is an amazing keyboard apart from that and if you really need weighted keys, worst case , you can attach a controller with weighted keys.

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...
