Owners are not complaining about the performance of the key action.

A post from Facebook : I've found the non-weighted Casio keys to be notoriously inconsistent. Sometimes you get one that's quiet...sometimes it's noisy. The culprit is inconsistent application of the grease they use to lubricate the keys. That grease keeps the plastic pieces from clicking when they, inevitably, touch. You see, the entire key mechanism has no springs, and the keys are manufactured in strips (rather than individually). The only thing keeping keys in place are plastic slots they fit into. This is very different from the standard Fatar keyboard that keeps each key individually placed with a spring and, often, felt. Casio's keys are cheap to manufacture and, consequently, are one of the things that keep their costs down....which is entirely appropriate for their consumer-grade keyboards but, as you point out, NOT the greatest decision for their pro gear.

We allready discussed that video, as it was put online,

yes it was posted only 8 posts back..

I wonder if I'm not seeing every post for some reason. I honestly don't see that one. Can you provide a post number?

To save anyone from further embarrassing themselves the video was actually posted by Bachus in the "The (multi)pads on the Casio Mz-x500" thread here. So it wasn't in this thread at all. It was fair for Bachus to point out that it had been posted before (although he neglected to say that it was HE who posted it and that it was in another thread) but I feel no need to apologize for posting it again here since others may have missed it there as I did.

In any case to get back to discussion it seems clear that Casio is not aiming these arrangers primarily at "typical" arranger players, at least not ones in the US (the rest of the world is a big market). So if you're one of those players and you're not interested they're probably not too upset about it.
