Are hammer action keys good?
These are some of the best digital keyboards with hammer action. This drastically improves the touch and resistance of each key so that they feel different. For example, some keyboards will have more resistance in the bass notes and less resistance in the treble notes; just like a real acoustic piano would have.
Are 49 keys enough?

What is hammer action keys?
A hammer action keyboard uses actual hammers that rise when a key is struck and fall back under their own weight. This offers a much more realistic feel. Better still is a Progressive Hammer Action keyboard where the feel of the keys gets slightly heavier as you move down the keyboard.
Are hammer action keys better than weighted?
And, if you don’t know, we have to mention that two kinds of keys are the same. While piano-like hammer mechanisms are applied to the keys for a “real-life” piano feel, weighted actions offer the keys more “heft” to remove springy and plastic-like experience of all the entry level digital pianos.
Can I learn piano on 49 keys?
That’s right: 49 keys are enough to get started. Because your instrument is really made up of repeating sets of 12 notes, as long as you have a few sets you will be fine. Obviously, in many cases it would be ideal to have a full 88-key keyboard. But you are not going to fail at piano just because you have fewer keys.
Do I need 49 or 61 keys?
The 49/61 choice largely depends on your intended use – if you are going play ‘proper’ piano and keyboard music, with chordal bass, or study a piano course, you need 61 keys. If your going to be playing mainly monophonic synth bass parts and lead, or emulating string or horn sections, or pad parts, then 49 is fine.

Both of these types of keyboards can be velocity sensitive, but only one of them actually replicates the hammer action of grand/upright pianos. That’s where we get the term “hammer action” and it can also be referred to as “fully-weighted”.

Are semi weighted keys worth it?
The Types of Weighted Keys We don’t recommend semi-weighted keyboards for piano practice. The keys are made more resistant by springs, and don’t feel enough like real piano keys to earn our approval. As you depress the keys, you’ll feel resistance designed to feel as similar to a real piano as possible.
