Are the keys weighted? Do they feel like a "real "piano?

This is hard to answer, so I will answer it in this manner. When I first began to play the Yamaha I felt the upright at my church and the Yamaha compared favorably. I could transition between the two more easily than the electronic piano at church. Are they exactly the same? No, but close. You must realize that my perception may be different from yours. Some electronic pianos have the ability to change the sensitivity of the key board. You must realize that this is an entry level instrument and I purchased it to play for my own amusement. It good quality for that purpose. You must decide what quality you want and the purpose of the instrument. This is hard to answer, so I will answer it in this manner.

You can increase pressure to change volume, but it is not like a real piano, it is more like tapping on the keys, and they do make a noise. This is a great instrument for learning to play and for jamming with others just for fun. It is not a performance keyboard, but it does have lots of accompaniments and voices to play with.

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.

no I would say they seem to we some what weighted, more like springy. The depress easy enough, but they bounce right back up.

I am not sure what you mean by "weighted", but no the keys do not feel exactly like a piano, but very close. It does have a pedal to give the sustained sound of a piano. On the Baby Grand setting it sounds exactly like a piano.

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.

The keys action is very different to a "real" piano. It takes a while to master it for expression. Depending on your use it might work.I use it for practice only. If you need to practice and them play a "real" piano afterward I would not advise it. The sounds are great if you use headphones.

This was a gift for my granddaughter the keys I believe are not weighted as this is an electronic keyboard many stores have this model on display very popular now. Standard pianos have weighted keys. I went to a local music store to check this model before buying on Amazon. Price is more reasonable on Amazon.

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.

The product itself is 20.6 pounds, as per the description. If you're referring to the key feel, it's heavier than classic "plastic synth" keys but not nearly as heavy as the keys on a Yamaha CP or fully-weighted keys such as my older Alesis QS8. The keys also snap back quickly; there's very little sense of 'throw' in them. I wanted the range of 61 keys without having to constantly flip octaves, but as far as playing, I much prefer the feel of my smaller Alesis Q25 and wish I'd purchased the Q61 before the Axiom.

No, plays ok, it's not same as real piano. Player aspect does not move keys, has a sound baord. Music is lovely.

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!

I think so. I bought it for my younger brother, and haven't touched it in a while, but I remember them being easy to play. The keys aren't as solid/hard as your traditional piano, but definitely kid friendly.

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

The keys are semi-weighted. Feels very good to play, they are also pressure sensitive as well.

Yes, the P35B 88 is weighted, very much like their acoustic pianos (for example my G2).

The keys are hard. Yes, it is like a real keyboard. And the keys protrude slightly.

They are touch sensitive. As a pianist, this suits me well at home when I am not able to play on a grand. You just have to get "used to" the touch difference. :)

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.

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 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.
