Nord Stage 3 key feel

Post by madismuul »

Hello!
I am thinking of buying NS 3 76HP and i am wondering if the key feel of this board is good or not.
I own NS 2 and i have played with NE 5 HP, both actions are okay for me.
How would NS3 76HP key feel in comparison of these two boards?
Do you know what kind of keybed they use?

THanks!

It's using fatar tp100 as NE5 HP. The good news is that it's much lighter then NS2 HA76. So if you're happy with TP100 action its win win story for you.

The NS3 HP 76 has basically the same action as the NE5 HP, but adds aftertouch, which makes the keys bottom out a little more softly due to the aftertouch sensor. It's way different than the NS2 HA 76.
