Great video. Thank you for the detailed analysis of the key action on the Go:Keys 3/5. It's pretty much what I expected but understand you have to play it and weighted keys to really experience it, just like playing MiniKeys such as on the Yamaha Reface Series, PSS-A50 and the Roland JD-Xi. The action may suit novice and more experienced players fine, as well as those that also play weighted keys and are proficient on conventional acoustic piano action as like as they don't have a dislike for lighter action. It may suit people for different applications, or because it's still quality action in a more compact and portable format. Like I always say, the win is that we have so many choices.
Awesomely said my friend! Thanks for "weighing" in! You are very correct and your insights have made me realize that there are many people with mobility situations or other conditions that may prefer having a keyboard such as this because it may hurt trying to play a real piano or may be impossible because of the key weight! Great insights! Thank you! 🙏
@@phillc Also, some people may just prefer semi weighted keys over full weighted ones, or like I stated are professional players with weighted keyboards but like playing the others, too. A prime example is lots of people seem to love the CT-S1 for is sould and simple UI and compact portability and battery power and like playing it at home, casual outings without having to fire up their pro rig, or when traveling.
Have small hands. On a regular piano even a 9th is a stretch. A Roland Go:Keys is more for travelling. It's better to have full-size keys for playing at home.
@@phillc As a keyboard for travelling, the best I have is Piano de Voyage from France with 88 full-size semi-weighted keys (4 modules connected together with screws). The next on the list is the Clavier Folding piano (folds in half) also sold under the brand name Magicon. The cheapest on the list is the $150 Folding Piano 88 from Carry-On (88 keys with standard witdth but the length & height is shorter). Also sold under the brand name MIDI Plus.
@@phillc Thank you for your reply.I have an acoustic upright piano and a midi controller .The upright has a beautiful sound that no digital can match but playing very fast tires hands out ,my midi keyboard can play fast but doesn,t feel so hands on.oh dear think all digital keyboards should be semi-weighted.

Best action keys for a keyboard in this price range or target market I have played many over the years for fun and in bands
Thanks for "weighing" in to the discussion @dominic1956 😊
Good enough to play the solo from Jump?

Short answer: No
