Are the keys weighted? and can I use other stereo besides the ones that comes with it? and is it key touch?

The keys are weighted. It really feels like a real piano. There is an output so you can use other speakers, but I have not used it. The built in speakers are plenty loud and it sounds great.I'm not sure what you mean by the last question.

Keys ate weighted. Youbmay need an amp to take it toba stereo but the sound is solid. I believe there is an audio out option from reading the manual. Not sure what key touch means

The keys have a great weight system. There are outputs to use other stereos. You should check this review is very helpful: http://azpianonews.blogspot.com/2013/02/review-casio-px780-digital-piano-best.htmlWe have it for 3 months and just love the piano.

No. Get the Logitech which I now have both. The Sykik to Me is not a good system. Very light weight too. The Logitech is very much better in every area. Great Sub too.

I'd say the sound quality is pretty decent for a small keyboard. I find it useful as something portable when I need a keyboard, but am away from my piano, and for adding synth sounds to compositions, but I wouldn't use it for, say, piano lessons - not enough keys, and the touch is not like a real piano - doesn't have that "weighted" feeling. All in all, though, a very handy little keyboard.

I'm using one right now. The media keys for next/last track, play/pause, stop, and mute all work. The volume knob doesn't, nor do the programmable keys along the top above the function keys. I like the way the keyboard types and I don't use those other keys at all so it isn't much of a detriment to me. I do wish the volume knob worked but that's about it.

You are able to press down the keys, but it is easier than normal piano keys. Some keyboards are weighted, so that they feel more like a real piano. These keys aren't weighted, so it is different than a real piano, but they still feel and work great. It is a great buy for the price and works great.

It completely depends on what she wants to do with it. To me, there are not enough keys to make it any sort of adequate substitute for a full piano, using two hands. It's generally intended to be slung around the shoulder and played with the right hand only. It's not self amplified, so it needs to be connected to some sort of powered speaker, unless you use it exclusively with headphones. That being said, I think the sounds and the physical keyboard touch are nice. If it were me, I might look for something like a Yamaha YPG 235 instead. More keys, self amplified, meant to be played with two hands, many sounds, accompaniment features. My own opinion only!

Most people were very adamant on choosing a keyboard with weighted keys - to allow the child/player to learn what it feels like and get used to the feeling of a "real" piano. So I ended up spending a lot more (although I look at it as an investment - since 2 other younger kids may use it).I bought a Casio CDP-100 (cheapest "electric piano" keyboard you can buy that also has weighted keys - $400 new) for about $300 on eBay used.Other choices I seriously considered were the Yamaha P80/P85/P90 - more expensive (by $200+) but had a few more features (built-in metronome, sequencing for recording, etc) - but for a complete beginner, I decided to go cheaper and get a used Casio.

you can use a headphone with this, any type will work. A foot pedal comes with the keyboard

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 have tested both yamaha mx and the casio digital piano px130.yamaha mx are NOT weighted anything. these are the normal cheap electronic organ press and make sound type.mx is sold as a 1000 sound plus, sound machine, not a piano.no weighing... however, the above casio piano is close to a truer piano.true weighting and shape and feel and sound of all keys. all there. quite lifelike.

I purchased this item for my son. His response is as follows: The keys are synthetic ivory and feel very good. Compared to an acoustic pIano, the keys are just as weighted (sometimes heavier than some Grands). Your fingers do not slip on the keys and they are very playable. Hope this information is helpful.

Yes, it does. However I'd like to add while it is touch sensitive, I was lead to believe they are weighted somehow, but it is not at all like a real piano. More of a dampening, the key feels like it is going through foam or something to make you hit light or hard for the correct tone loudness. More difficult to get a light or heavy struck note. I'm no musician, but was disappointed by the touch sensitivity mechanism. For the price, if your not a pro, it is a good value though. Display is also too small for my old eyes.

The keys are sort of weighted, less than real piano, but more than a regular keyboard.The keys are touch sensitive.

this keyboard is a type that has no "on-board" sounds. That's why the price is so low. It is only a controller that must be connected to either a sound module (like from Roland company) or a computer that has software with sound samples. It also has a very light action, very much unlike that of an acoustic piano. Even with the proper added sound source, it is not a good keyboard to learn piano skills because of the light action.

I'm not sure if they would be considered weighted but they have good resistance and spring back. My daughter still has her old keyboard and those keys are a lot easier to push. She has lessons on a baby grand and said she prefers the feel of the keys on her Casio. So I'm guessing it has keys that you would like. We are still very happy with piano especially when you compare it to moving and tuning a used piano that we were thinking about.

It's lighter than the real pianos of course. But not by much. But the other Japanese brand do have heavier keys.

Yes, it does have weighted keys. In fact, it has an adjustment so you can change the weight according to your liking (at least to some extent!)
