WHICH ARRANGER/SYNTH HAS THE BEST KEYS ?

I've had many different ones, and they're all very different in terms of quality:

No. 1: Korg Krome 88
No. 2: Korg Nautilus 73
No. 3: Yamaha DGX-620
No. 4: Korg Kronos 2 73
No. 5: Yamaha DGX-670
No. 6: Korg OASYS 76
No. 7: Yamaha Tyros1
No. 8: Korg Pa1X 61
No. 9: Korg Pa2X 76
No. 10: Korg Pa5X 76/Yamaha Genos1
No. 11: Roland EXR-7 76
No. 12: Tyros4/5/S-Series/Pa700/Ketron Audya Series/Technics KN-7000/6000/Casio Series/Deebach etc - all 61 keys.
No. 13: Korg Pa4X 61/Pa3X 61
No. 14: Medeli AKX-10


The Korg Krome 88 stands out from everything else with its special piano-weighted keys, which feel like a mixture of piano-weighted and synth-weighted, and feel absolutely insanely perfect. The keys are also somewhat smaller than normal.
Korg Nautilus is almost as good as Krome.

The Yamaha DGX-620 is the best  piano-weighted I've had - almost like a real piano.

The Korg Kronos 73 is almost as good as the Nautilus.

The Yamaha DGX-670 is clearly inferior to the Kronos, but surprisingly good.

The Korg OASYS 76 is the king of synth-weighted keys, and so easy to play that it almost plays by itself.
Yamaha Tyros1 reminds a lot of OASYS, and has the best synth-weighted keys among arrangers, but is somewhat inferior to OASYS.  The keys are also somewhat smaller than normal.

The Korg Pa1X 61 has a slightly heavier synth weight than normal, but is clearly better than the Pa5X and Genos1.
The Roland EXR-7 76 is about as good as the Pa5X and Genos1.

The vast majority of models are in joint 12th place, and there are only small differences in quality.

The very worst are the Korg Pa4X and Pa3X, apart from the Medeli AKX-10, which simply does not work as it should.


Something everyone should notice is that Pa5X and Genos1 are as far down as 10th place - shouldn't the best arrangers on today's market have far better keys...?
