Surface of keys has some pores which can suck sweat, so keys are
always kept dry.

Quotation from SOS review in 2009:

-------------------------
Roland have fitted the V-Piano with their latest PHA-III Progressive
Hammer Action 88-note weighted keyboard. The keys feel very realistic
to the touch, being finished in a non-slip, moisture-absorbing
material that has the look and feel of ebony and ivory. Furthermore,
the PHA-III features a simulated ‘escapement’ for every key — that
satisfying ‘click’ feel produced by a real piano action. You really
begin to appreciate the subtle control over dynamics when playing
fast repetitions and extreme pianissimo notes. In the case of
repetitions, the tone even responds to the rate of acceleration,
exhibiting the typical tonal fluctuations of the real thing.
Up to now I’ve not been overly enamoured of electronic weighted
keyboards, but I absolutely love this one — it feels positive and
fully responsive, and gives the distinct impression of a physical
mechanism making contact with the strings. Dynamic responsiveness can
be adjusted to suit the individual’s playing strength via five
velocity curves ranging from super-light to super-heavy. I found
myself opting for the light setting, which allows comfortable access
to the loudest dynamics while still retaining fine control of
pianissimo.

Full agreement from my side :-)
