The physical keyboard and aftertouch

Overall I feel that the keyboard is nice, and translates velocity pretty well. The aftertouch however, is much much stuffer on the black keys than the white. This is on a brand new Electric Blue. Anyone else notice this?

I have. I don't think they are made differently though. the white keys are longer so the different angle makes them feel like less pressure. the shorter black keys feel like they need more due to the shorter throw. so, on paper, the spec is the same for the trigger. of course, being aware of this geometry, they should lighten the trigger on the black keys so as to offer the same feel as the white keys.
