Are the height of the keys filled in like real piano keys? Does the piano sound reflect how are and soft you play the keys?

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.

Yes. It is a very good keyboard. It has lovely sounds, the feel of the keys is similar to a Grand Piano, it is lightweight, and I greatly enjoy it. I have almost played it every single day since I bought it in September for multiple hours. I love it. <3

The keys themselves are very close I think to full-sized. The keyboard unit as a whole is NOT a full-sized 88 keys as in a piano.

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.

I don't have a piano to which I can compare the keyboard, but I believe they are the same size. I played piano for yearsand this keyboard has the same, familiar feel when I play old favorites.

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.

Yes they are, it's a full size keyboard, I don't really use it, I bought it for my brother but he loves it, he plays several musical instruments and he thinks it is a great keyboard with a lot of functions. Hope this helps.

Yes they do feel more like real keys than toy keys. I didn't think that they would, but I was pleasantly surprised when they did.

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.

They are not the size of piano keys exactly but they are very close in size. It sounds very nice.

The keys are weighted. They don't feel exactly like a grand piano, but their is definitely a difference felt when going from the lower end to the higher end.

The keys are shorter than most controllers. Synths/controller keys in general are a little smaller than piano keys (including better digital pianos), and A-500 and A800 are even smaller. That's why I sold mine. Really disliked the short keys. Disappointing, is superb controller for my DAW (Sonar), very good keyboard bed / action and quality (in my limited experience)... just... shorty keys.

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

Possibly a bit narrower. I can't say for sure but a friend with a piano thought the keys on my keyboard were more narrow.

Oh yeah, no problem. It's very nice. Hold down three keys with left hand at same time, the sound is beautiful and play melody with right hand simultaneously. Works great just like a real piano. Very portable, not like my baby grand.

I bought this for my kid, so I'm not the one playing it. But, I did notice that the keys feel more like a piano than an old Casio keyboard I had. My old Casio was like a "switch", either on-or-off, and you could feel that mechanism as you pressed the key. This new Casio is more like a piano, but I don't recall if the loudness works like a piano (soft if you hit the key soft, loud if you hit the key hard)... I want to say it does.

Not really. But I've been playing mine for several years now and the feel of the keys is really okay. It isn't enough of a difference to be a bother. However, the harder you hit a key, the louder it plays. That's a nice feature.
