Hi, Here is something i found over net. In a weighted hammer action, all keys are equally weighted. In a graded hammer action, the keys become lighter as you move towards the treble region. -shan

∙ 14y agoIf it is an electronic keyboard of any kind, it will never feel just like a real piano! It can feel really close, but if if has any sort of electronic function, it won't feel the same. I have a "digital piano" and even it feels different. I've played on a disklavier piano, which is actually are real piano but it has mechanical hook ups and that still feels different.

It's not ideal, but some digital pianos have weighted keyboards that make them very similar to "real" pianos.
What is lightly weighted action?
Light-weightedLight-weighted keys offer the least resistance when pressing a key. This type of resistance is more similar to that of an organ rather than a piano.Semi-weighted KeysAccording to Pianoworld.com, semi-weighted keys use spring action similar to light-weighted keys; however, they feel heavier. They still don't have the feel of an acoustic piano, but they have more resistance than a synthesizer.Weighted KeysAccording to Pianoworld.com, weighted keys on a digital piano come with either weights in the keys, or actual simulated actions that make them closer to the feel of an acoustic piano than either light or semi-weighted keys.Fully Weighted KeysFully weighted keys are designed to replicate the hammer and string action from an acoustic piano.Heavy-weighted KeysHeavy-weighted keys are more weighted than fully weighted and are also meant to resemble those of a traditional acoustic piano. The heavier-weighted keys come in different weights because different acoustic pianos have different feels to them as well. The difference in weighted keys gives pianists the option to choose the digital keyboard that best fits their taste.
What is a touch sensitive piano keyboard?
If your keyboard is not touch sensitive, you don't have a piano. Digital pianos attempt, with widely varying degrees of success, to duplicate the sound and experience of playing acoustic pianos. When a key is struck more rapidly, the volume of the sound in an acoustic piano increases. With a lightly struck key, the sound can be extremely soft. The variability of volume or sound intensity in digital pianos is possible because of touch sensitive keyboards. This is not the same as 'weighted' keyboard. A weighted keyboard is an attempt to duplicate the tactile experience of depressing the keys of an acoustic piano. You can have touch sensitive keyboards that feel more like they are controlled by springs; this is not acceptable to most experienced piano players.
