Strange, but I've never had a PSR-S900 customer complain about the keybed...not one.
Seems they expected the action to be light and fast, and different than the Tyros2/3, and the same as the previous PSR-3000.
The original Tyros' weakness was it's keybed, which I felt was substandard for the price, and the FSX keybed on the T2/3 was a nice and needed improvement.
The only complaint I've ever received about the S900 was it's screen angle...and, come to think of it, there was one guy who thought the DSP/Var buttons should be on the left instead of the right...I use a foot-switch, so it doesn't matter to me, but I could see his point.
These are only small details, and there were no complaints about the S900 (or Tyros) being made of plastic...as Froggy says, they were pleased it was so light.
