I've played both a K61 and K73 and like the respective actions of both (and I'm very fussy with my keyboard actions and hate the crappy plasticky feel of cheaper boards like the Korg Triton LE, TR, Roland Juno and Yamaha MO6).
I'm more than happy with an action that is like that of my old T3EX! That has an awesome unweighted action.

I agree, the DX7 did set the standard. I think Kawai surpassed that standard in the K5000s (which sits right beside the DX7 in my studio). Both of those instruments are built like bunkers, which might contribute something to the overall feel that we players seem to like.
It's a bummer that the DX7 won't transmit velocities over 100 in controller duties. |
Imo those 2 keybeds belong to different categories.
I have a K5000W sitting above an EX5 in my studio, and I agree that the Kawai has the best non weighted action, but I still prefer the semi-weighted action of the FS keyboard (DX7, EX5, Motif, Motif ES, Trinity, Triton, Oasys 76) for the reasons explained here.
And on the EX5 it can generate the full MIDI velocity range  |

You want to know the real standard for rubbish semi-weighted keys? Try the Korg M50. I'd briefly considered the M50 because of its light weight, but just a few minutes of playing it I was horrified at how awful it felt.

Actually I think the Kronos61 is better than M50 but played the M50 also for some years and didn't had problems playing it.
