It is not - you are not going to get a weighted keyboard at this price point. They will cost significantly more.

It is definitely not weighted key. The product description says it's "touch response" but that is just marketing rubbish.

No, the keys use a spring mechanism rather than a counter-weight system as had been stated already. The Privia pianos have a counter-weighted system that feels as close to an acoustic piano as I've ever played. I also agree that the Casio spring-weighted mechanism on these is pretty close, but for serious piano technique, I'd switch to a true weighted action ASAP. For serious organ technique, these are closer to a typical organ type key mechanism as for example on the Hammond, Wurlitzer, Farfisa etc. organs. Just my opinion.

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.

Deana, it is weighted meaning that softly tapping produces a softer note than slamming/pounding (so to speak). The amount of pressure placed on the keys affects to volume of the sound being produced. However, it is, of course, not a real piano. It's electronically produced sound as opposed to a mallet striking a wire. But, yes, it plays like a real piano. The clicks and annoyances spoken of in other reviews are legit, but they don't bother me.

Yes, but don't compare to the Motif. It is a piano, and as a purest, I am delighted to play this.

The keys are not weighted. Generally you have to spend quite a bit more to get weighted or semi-weighted keys.

That doesn't apply. Instruments can play in different keys, but instruments are not in keys. Maybe you're thinking of clef? If so...it's bass clef. Either you're joking, or I highly recommend you do some more research before making any investment in an instrument. Good luck!

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

The keys are weighted. I haven't played too many actual pianos, but from the little I have played, it feels about the same. The pedal is just okay, it gets the job done, but you have to find a way to keep it from moving around.

The keys are weighted like a piano. My daughter (the one who plays it) has had a regular keyboard before this one. She says these keys feel like a piano because they are weighted.

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.

Hello Catherine (my Mom's name.. also spelled with a "C") Yes and No....... They are standard sized piano keys made of lite plastic.. They are "weighted" to "mimic" the "feel" of real keys.. there are 61 not 88... as this is a keyboard. It is missing some "octaves"... not an issue for general playing .. the unit has good "note" sound reproduction.. I bought it mainly for the CASIO song "learning system" witch is first rate I have a full sized "high end" YAMAHA digital piano...which is my main instrument ... but, they cost many, many times this Casio . A necessity ONLY if you want to be "serious player". REC III

I can't say for sure. I will say the uke is fairly priced, looks great and sounds sweet. It's a nice first uke.

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

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.
