Hey, New Yorker, what do you think? It still looks like "toy keys " to me. I don`t mind the 2000, but I sure wish it had better keys. I would have gladly paid more than I did for better keys. The 2000 does have strong pionts but good or bad you still have to get past those "darn keys" and lousy action. Last week I played a "Karma" now if the 2000 had keys like that ,then it might very-well be an excelant`e KB! If the "Tyros" has the same keys & action , whats the piont? I know it`s got a bunch more stuff but with bad keys it could have the moon and still not please me

That's funny jedi, cuz i still think the Karma is a compromised keypad too. The Triton had the best action going, and they weakened it in the "le" lineup.
My favorite "feels" so far are:
9000pro/Triton (same keys)
SD1
Motif
Fantom

These all have a nice, tight resistance with a spring acxtion that you can "dig into" without fear. I miss that.

The 9000PRO keys are imho THE greatest.!

I bought 9000 only a couple of months ago and then made the mistake of trying out the PRO. Too late now but I would have bought the PRO if I had waited just a couple more days. I think the PRO keys are superb for touch. Any others feel like house bricks

The Triton keypads are made by Yamaha, while the Karma keypad is made by Fatar. I would guess the Triton, Motif, and 9000Pro use the same keypads. My own feeling is that the Karma action feels a little cheap compared to the more costly Yamaha action.

and just how much do they want for it?

There is no price, because it is not ready for production, much less for sale, because it is only a prototype, because Yamaha starts marketing products before they are even invented.
