Upon the first strikes, I found that the keys bounce around quite a bit. Am I missing something or this something we have to live with?

My keys do not bounce around. Be sure they are set properly by examining each one. When my xylophone arrived, a few of the keys had bent pegs (pegs are at the top for the lower keys and at the bottom of the upper keys), do they key was not sitting properly. I straightened the bent pegs out and then the keys sat properly. The keys should sit between the pegs, with the pegs vertical, and end of the key with the hole should allow the key to sit within the hole all the way to the metal bar under the key. I hope his helps.

Yes, the keys are light like a keyboard, not like a piano. Not even like semi-weighted keys. They are however sensitive to velocity.

Make sur you push it down. It should kind of click. Once in, it's pretty secure. If not, something might be off.

If the key is generating some type of frequency and your right on top of it. This is a cheap toy. Notice the others are significantly more expensive. In all honesty. I don't recommend it. Buy a good one. Let me know how it works &#128521;

no its a little bit smaller. kinda feels like the keys are cramped but depending on how much you use it. you should get used to the size

Yes, the space bar is a little louder than other keys. It doesn't bother me though - I rather like the difference in sound as it confirms i have entered a space when i intend to. Interestingly, I was actually unaware of the difference until you brought it to my attention!

Probably, the keys are not weighted, so it is not the same feel as a piano or professional key board. It is a good starter to see if you like playing, and it is highly portable.

This is almost certainly a stuck function key. I really like this keyboard, but the function keys are definitely its weak spot. They are not the same type of keys as the rest, more like the keys on a calculator. And if you don't hit the key straight on, the edge of it can get stuck really easy.

Some of the keys stick occasionally. Seems like the T, is the one giving me the most trouble. I still love this keyboard. I am not a very fast typist, so It doesn't interfere to much.

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 see the keys you refer to, but I can't seem to get them to work. Is there some trick?

It's totally normal...There's not much movement on mine, but I think it's just one of those things you might have to initially get use to, but it's definitely one of the best keyboard covers that are out there so if you debating on getting I would just it because it's worth it :).

Not normal at all - I've purchased 2 of these boards now and not a single key sticks - I'd return it and get a new replacement. Good Luck! :)

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.

Totally normal, but both keys are smaller than the ones on the right. I say normal because I don't notice it at all. Both appear to be about 2/3 the size of their opposite keys.

I'm a gamer, which means I'm all over my keyboard, and I've never hit them once. They're a lot lower-profile than the rest of the keys, so you'd have to be trying to push them. Plus they take more of a solid push to even click than the rest of the keys. I wouldn't worry about it. :)

lol, your better off than me. I lost my key. But it seems to me I had the same problem, and it turned out to be I just had the have the open and close handle in a certain position for the key to work. Play with that sequence and hope it helps.
