I'm sorry I don't know for sure. It's just something I read from a couple of people. Guitpic1 seems to confirm this, though (see his comment above). On Motifator, I also read that if you change the velocity sensitivity, the keybed will seem to be different. Maybe, it's just the better sound affecting how we think it feels. Or perhaps, the keys are made with more plastic.

I have never minded the key feel on the S950, and even less now on the S970.
I have play the PSR S970 several times, and a similar "feeling" I got when you played
the Tyros4 (that has nothing wrong with it), and then the Tyros5, and It DOES have the new DSPs
(many sounds have a different presence)just like the T5....and yes, the sound is different for obvious reason....
The Huge Screen, is awesome !!
Not just that, a major upgrade to me, is the Flash memory, only 8 times more than the S950....
And now I can install all the Expansion packs I want-need.

And honestly, I think the BEST opinion is that one you have WHEN you play one.... keys
Just my 2 cents

So, you are confirming that the keys of the PSR-S970 are better? If so, do you think they are made differently, or is it because of some other reason?

Thanks.
