Are the Keys Weighted?

Hello Stu, I'm not sure I understand your question, but if you are referring to the response time of the keys... it's instantaneous because the action is electronic as compared to a mechanical action produced by a standard piano.I hope this answers your question! Ken Getsinger

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 barely weighted, pretty much unnoticably so. They have more of a synth-action than anything else

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.

As answered before; yes, the keys are weighted and feel and respond very realistically compared to an acoustic piano. (IMHO) For the money, it is an amazing digital piano. You get a whole lot of bang for your buck!

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.

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 touch-sensitive, so the harder you strike them, the louder it will play the note. However I don't believe the keys are weighted

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!)

I would say they're neither light nor heavy. Pretty middle-of-the-road. The clicks are a little on the loud side though.

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.

No they are not. They are as light as the wooden handles. If you're looking for weighted ones you better look for something else.

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.

The keys are not weighted. However, they are sensitive. I had a MO-8 for years. I chose this one because I didn't want the weighted keys anymore. I think the sound is just as good and, now, my hands don't get as tired as fast.

yes, it is the total weight. The keyboard weight is about 6.4oz （180g）. Thanks

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.

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.

They are hard keys and yes they are in the same spot as a normal keyboard (without 10key) They are raised keys but they are only slightly raised. This is very smooth to type on and its super light weight.
