As a Privia owner, I didn't realize I had adjusted my playing technique to compensate for the keyboard's variation in key weight. I played lot's of gigs with my PX5S and had no complaint. Last summer I bought a Yamaha MOXF8 and started gigging with it. After several jobs, I did a short outdoor performance and took the PX5S with me. That was the last gig I played with it due to the feel of the black keys. The Yamaha feel is far superior, that said with the understanding that the MOXF8 also cost twice the price of the PX5S. I still think the Casio provides a quality instrument at a lower price point, and that cost savings is reflected in the way they use technology. Don aka B3
