Does it have weighted keys? Does it feel like playing a real piano?

OMG, YES!!!! That's what I worried about, because really, until you actually play it you just don't know, and I've played some really crappy keyboards. Ick. I use a clavinova at my church, which is tres expensive, and I like my Casio better than it! OK, I'll stop now. But YES!

Yes, the keys are weighted. To an accomplished pianist, it might not feel quite the same as a real piano - but to a casual piano player (student, really) such as myself, it's close enough for my purposes.

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 think so. It's like a regular keyboard, not heavy like a piano. It's more like a child's toy. But great for beginners like me. I'm an adult.

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

Absolutely. This keyboard at no time feels or sounds like a "toy"--it is probably the best imitation of a real piano for the price. Any differences found in more expensive models tend to be nuanced and nitpicky.

I do not know what an acoustic piano 'feels like'; I do know and can tell you that the weight of these keys are not as 'heavy' as a regular piano key. The SOUND is fantastic. The size of the keys are 'real size'. The keys are 'lighter' and will increase in sound depending on how you 'push' them down, just like a real piano/organ. Hope this helps.

No, I would not describe the sound of this digital piano as "toy like" at all. Of course, it does not sound quite like a Yamaha or Steinway grand piano, but it certainly does sound like a serious piano. The only thing that limits the quality of the sound is the built-in speakers. One can easily connect it to a good amplifier and larger, high quality speakers, and then its sound will be very close to that of a real grand piano.

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.

Not really. They have some feel but are not like playing a piano. You can find keyboards that have that feature.

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

All i know is that it sounds good to me. I bought this piano for my Grandson he loves it. He feels the key action is comparable to a acoustic piano.

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

As others have said, the keys are full size. They're plastic and feel more like a low-end portable organ than a piano-- i.e., they aren't weighted or semi-weighted, and feel a little "springy" as you're playing. I'm used to playing this type of keyboard, so it doesn't bother me, but people who are more used to a piano keyboard may need to adjust to them a bit. There are 4 touch sensitivity settings, so you can set it to three levels of touch sensitivity (low, medium, or high) or turn the touch sensitivity off entirely (the fourth setting).

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

It plays and feels like a piano keyboard. I would says it's more weighted than sensitive. I hope that helps answer the question :)

The action is lighter than a real piano, but you soon get used to the feel. It obviously does not have the texture and depth of sound of a real piano, but is fine for a practice instrument - I would not want to use it for gigs.

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.
