    Alesis Recital 88-Key Beginner Digital Piano with Full-Size Semi-Weighted Keys and Power Supply

    • Although the keys feel like they have a little more weight than a cheaper keyboard, the keys pop back up quickly just like on a cheaper keyboard
    • I liked feeling weight of the keys, which is probably most obvious difference between a piano and a keyboard
    • She loves the pressure sensitive weighted keys.
    • The keys are bouncy and not ready weighted but have some give
    • I miss the beautiful weighted keys of my Casio, but it is weighted enough
    • inexpensive, light weight, 88 keys, has multiple training features and a guide for learning, I mean, you can't really go wrong here
    • The keys felt awkward at first, the weighting is clumsy, the response somewhat uneven, the sound would frighten anyone who knows anything about music, and it has the feel of a $2000 item someone made a $200 barebones clone of, even down to the perfectly plain black box housing it.
    • I got this because I wanted something with 88 preferably weighted keys that we can put in my kid's room so she can practice in her room
    • 88 keys is good, but the semi-weighted keys are not nearly as good as fully-weighted keys, which you can get for just a bit more money and are so important
    • Sound is good, key weight is good.
    • The keys aren't as weighted as a typical piano, but for the price it's worth it.
    • Wish I played it more— but the keyboard has great sound and key weight is like playing a piano
    • I like how it's light weight and easy to stow.
    • Perfect size and weight for portability.
    • It has pretty terrible tactile feel and no real weighting to speak of other than a vague resistance when you press down
    • However, the fully weighted digital piano from Yamaha and others get you the genuine weighted piano feel.
    • Keys are nicely weighted.
    • Only gripe so far has been that keys aren't as well weighted but for the price, that is easy to overlook
