Hello. I've opened a thread some while ago about fixing the PX-5S with CC pedals before bying it. I didn't have anywhere to try it locally, but eventually I have ordered it from abroad counting on the many good reviews, and I received it today just a couple of hours ago. Well, I started fiddling with it a bit, and one of the first things I have noticed is that the keys seem to bounce back right after you press and are still holding them. I'm not talking about the bouncing it performs when coming back up, but rather that when I'm holding the key down it doesn't settle immediately as I depress it but rather bounces up and down maybe twice quite noticeably. I'm really not a piano expert, but I have checked it with some cheap upright I own and it seemed to have no noticeable such bouncing (and the bouncing when releasing a key is more subtle as well). What's happening with the PX-5S feels kind of weird to me. Even if I don't have much experience playing pianos/keyboards and I haven't really played the upright I own since a year or two ago (I planned on using the Casio to develop my playing as well), I feel like it could hamper my playing as I suspect this shouldn't really be a "feature" of the action. It's especially noticeable and possibly problematic in my opinion when trying to play softly: as you don't come with much force which counters its tendency to bounce back, the bouncing moves the finger more. Here's a 1/2 speed video demonstrating the bouncing (yes, my finger is at the very edge of the keys, but playing at the more usual depth doesn't seem to remedy this): I doubt that's universally normal with pianos, but is that normal with other PX-5S as well or is there something wrong with my unit? I read so many great reviews of its action that it seems strange this wouldn't be mentioned. Thanks in advance.
