there's pressure sensitive, and then there's weighted. Usually weighted keys are also pressure sensitive. The difference is that the weighted keys FEEL like piano keys when you strike them - - -that initial resistance followed by a quick downstroke. Regular keyboard keys don't feel like that - they're a smooth motion from top to bottom. This can throw you off if you switch from one to the other - like when you go from practicing on your keyboard to playing on your piano teacher's baby grand.
Pressure sensitive keys adjust the sound based on how hard you press them. Press them softly and you get a quiet tone. Hit 'em hard, and you get a loud, abrupt tone.
