Interesting setup
Biggest issue is key action. If you've practiced on real pianos like me you would instantly feel the weirdness of the key. It's more of a heavy keyboard rather than a piano. The key has the heaviness but not the responsiveness or tactics of the hammer. The key travel (I borrow the concept form keyboard, can't think of a better way to explain it) is small, and when you try to hit the keys harder, you feel like your fingers hitting a wall instead of getting louder volumes.
Then the white noise. I read about comments about white noise and thought it might only be there when you set higher volumes. It turns out to be more of a design flaw: the white noise is always there and does not change at all even when you turn the volume to the lowest.
One minor thing: on every key there is a shallow round hole hidden near the edge of the key. But if you look closely you see it when playing, which is visually a bit annoying. That ugly hole does not seem to serve any purpose, wonder why it exists.
The sound is nice. For a beginner the sound of a piano can get sharp and aggressive, but not on this one. My guess is that Korg smoothed out the sound to make it tender. The downside is that it lacks the power of a grand piano when hitting hard.
Maybe I had too high hopes for ~$350 digital piano, but I remember yahama P-71 (P-45) being $399. That one had much more realistic key action. Pedal and music sheet holder is very crappy compared to b2 though.
The B2 has a longer 21cm pivot length vs the P45(ghs)'s 18cm length.
The B2 does feel more even to the touch vs the P45's GHS which is very stiff at the top of the key towards the fall board.
NONE of these simulated action types feel authentic, even kawai's $5000-7000 CA79/99 GF3 action can't produce the dynamic tactility of an acoustic action, because they simply don't have the multiple internal levers and double escapement.

Can't understand why you seem very desperate in arguing b2 is better than any competitors. I did not even recommend p45/p71 (as I said in the previous post, it has crappy accessories).

If you're making the comment that p45 feels more authentic than b2, than it is clear you don't know what you're talking about.
More authentic HOW ? You're applying your personal preference, with no metrics or understanding of the mechanical elements involved.
This key action simply can not be more or less authentic than a p45. Because they're both of the most elementary 2-lever design.
To even use authenticity as a qualifier for good and bad is indication of your lack of incite on how actions work.
Specific to the 2 models in question p45/ b2, Neither feel remotely like an acoustic action, because these are sim actions. all the way up to GF3 in the CA79/99 they do NOT feel real.
