I couldn’t find an exact number, probably because no one else is interested in figuring out how heavy the keys are, because they are so light.This is where the similarities between computer keyboards and piano keys end. Not the keyboard itself, but the weight required to actually depress the keys. ![]() Now the weight of a standard computer keyboard is pretty light. ![]() The typing I am thinking of is the standard “home row” typing that many of us (at least in my generation) learned way back in 3rd or 4th grade, sorry to those one-finger typers out there! So let’s start there, if you have never played a piano before, but you have typed on a computer keyboard, you have definitely used your fingers independently, which is a similarity. ![]() The closest thing most students think of is typing on a computer keyboard, which isn’t entirely untrue, but is still very far from what we do physically while playing the piano. This seems obvious, but what I mean is that playing the piano is an experience unlike anything we encounter in our “regular” daily lives. When we first start playing the piano, the thing many people notice first is how new it is.
