I ignored this, and didn't think I'd feel the difference; I reasoned that I don't usually hit the tops of the keys with my fingers, and that this guy was being picky. I got the PX-S3000 and LOVED the sounds. Almost every single sound on that board is amazing. After a while I noticed regular chords were harder to play, and realized that I actually do touch the tops of the keys more than I realized. Had a heck of a time trying to resell it and took a big loss selling it back on eBay.
Casio's previous keyboards never had this issue, and have been some of my favorite action on a piano style keyboard. There's always some level of compromise that digital keyboard manufacturers have to go through, in order for a keyboard with less than a foot depth feel like a real piano. Keybeds on a real piano extend way back, and this is why you'll never feel the difference playing the tips of the keys vs the tops of the keys. The fulcrum of the key is like a foot back. The only keyboard I've seen that replicates this is the 1985 Kurzweil Midiboard. These are amazing, but super heavy, and the 32 note polyphony will cut off even the most basic arpeggios if you are using the the sustain pedal.
In short, I'd avoid these until they fix the issue in a new series. I believe they know this is an issue but need to quietly sell off the remaining boards in this series.

I really like the msin piano sound though. I've used it at gigs. Also great it can run on batteries or a smell AC power bank.
The touch controls work fine, but considering I'm losing my vision, I probably should have chosen a different keyboard, but at least I can always power it off and back on if I accidentally change settings.

Clearly, someone here saw that amazing price and bought it before you did - that's all.
....
Unless buyers are itching for specifics - hyper realistic movements, high resolution recordings of master pianos like the casio celviano or better - most of these $500 range pianos newer and older are interchangeable.

It's NOT the piano once you're past the $100~ level (for a used casio ct-s300).
Better putting that money into more lessons, piano apps, etc first.

I've been looking for ~$1000, VERY lightweight (this one is 24lbs or so? The lightest by a longshot), pitch wheel, full 88 keys, weighted, and with speaker. The series is the only thing even close, but there's no pitch wheel, there's less sounds (not that much of a deal breaker) and it's a good deal heavier.
I have a Privia PX-300, over 15 years old, ha. And she's done me well. Is the action similar to that one? Because that one seems okay to me. I'll be gigging with it a good deal.

After I realized the S3000 wasn't for me, I ended up getting the PX-560M (2015), which is the speakered version of the 5S (2013). I'd wanted the 5s since it came out but was waiting for price to come down or for them to hit the used market, and just kinda forgot about them over time. The 560M is just under 27lbs.
I figured the S1000 and S3000 boards would have the same action with a smaller footprint, which I would have really liked, but the 560M is probably from around the latest action update before they went to this new action. The 560M got the tri sensor which picks up multiple presses in rapid succession very well. The action and responsiveness on the 560M is great.
Because it has the great action, the textured keys (which is a nice little feature that the latest ones have too), and both the pitch and mod wheels, it checked all the boxes for me. I was ok with the risk of going used, I don't gig and it'll probably never leave the house.
I'd try the S1000 in person, you may find the action works fine for your playing. But one thing I'd caution you on: I didn't feel it right away. It took a few times sitting down and playing for a while before I noticed the strain on my fingers, and it's not bone-crunching weight, just a little more strain than I wanted to put my fingers and wrists through. Play it for a while if you can.
There are other manufacturers you may find work very well for your requirements. I absolutely loved the action on my uncle's Yamaha P71 which is an Amazon exclusive. I can't find specifics but have heard it's a slightly lighter action than their popular p143, which has their Graded Hammer Compact action. Neither of those has the pitch wheel, but you may like the DGX670B, which has a ton of sounds, their Graded Hammer Standard action, the speakers, and the pitch wheel.
Luckily there are a ton of options these days. The pitch wheel requirement unfortunately filters out a lot of boards, and I'm not sure what you need for sounds; but good luck and I hope you find one that works for you!
