I have always felt that action feel (on a properly functioning arranger keyboard) has always been personal opinion...I have played Roland, Korg, and Yamaha that I liked, and some I didn't like so much.

I would never trust another player's opinion on key action feel...I have to try for myself. Some SZ'ers have raved about certain key actions, and when I tried them, my rating was sometimes the same, and, sometimes considerably less.

We must remember, none of us play arranger in exactly the same manner, and we all grew up musically on different types of instruments (and some started out on instruments other than keyboards) so we all have developed key action preferences due to habit, what was available, and what we could afford.

My preference is now the Tyros4, mainly because it is very similar to my all time favorite key action, the Yamaha DX-7. I could live with the lighter action on PSR, Roland, Korg as I also played some synths with the same basic feel, and have no absolutely no trouble adapting to it's disadvantages and exploiting it's advantages.

Getting in another frivolous contest of urinary supremacy over what action is better has gotten real old and tired on SZ...nearly as worn out as what brand sounds "better" than another, and, if you read back on older posts, you will find that none of these tournaments has changed anyone's opinion in the least.
