Hi Mike, good to see you back.
Different things bother different ones of us I suppose. I don't mind the keys. Faster action and easy on my aging fingers. If you didn't like the keys on earlier models, you won't like these either.
The drums are somewhat better, but still not as lively sounding as any of the other brands.
You know, there are other options. The Korg Pa line is excellent, and includes the 76-note version of the PA3X. You'll love the key action and the drums on it, plus the multitude of real-time controls, both fixed and fully programmable.
There are lot of folks waiting for the arrival of the PA600 as well.
Anyway, it's good to hear from you again!
