The only buttons that's not making noise on Genos, is the turnable knobs and sliders.
That said, it has never bothered me, because usually the speakers soundlevel is higher, and if use earphones, I don't hear the 'clicks' either.
Never asked other people in the house if it's annoying though... don't going to ask either ... they may start notice it..... 😁😁😁

Tony ALL buttons were used on genos ...
recorded with my cell phone right on top....
any genos owners can do the same easily a video is not needed.
I will say while you playing you do not hear any clicking at all.
That said I like the bigger sturdier buttons on Geno..

I was afraid of that....that is a problem I'm not sure I can live with...when playing at home fairly low volume and quiet passages...when pushing those switches...POW....you hear a damn loud click. Wander why they (Yamaha) do not see that as a problem??

Hi Dave,
something that would never have occurred to me. I suppose if recording keyboard only, it would be directly from the lines out? but for voice if you’re playing and singing it needs to be quiet. I suppose other option would be to sing to a backing track. I don’t sing but that option sounds like it might take away some of the spontaneity?

Again, something that wouldn’t have occurred to me. My keybed on the S950 used to annoy me, it was a bit clickety , clack.

You have to play that softly that you’ think you’d hear the buttons click?

Maybe on Genos 2 they will change it...I hope so.
It has been that way for a while...I'm thinking Tyros 3 or so???

Quiet rubber buttons on PSR-S950 were fine to me as long as they worked properly. After some time they tend to become less responsive and it becomes a problem. Not only me complained about it. "Clicky" buttons on PSR-3000 (some of them rubber, others plastic) are working fine till now.
