Dull Men's Club
An unofficial chapter of the popular Dull Men's Club.
1. Relevant commentary on your own dull life. Posts should be about your own dull, lived experience. This is our most important rule. Direct questions, random thoughts, comment baiting, advice seeking, many uses of "discuss" rarely comply with this rule.
2. Original, Fresh, Meaningful Content.
3. Avoid repetitive topics.
4. This is not a search engine
Use a search engine, a tradesperson, Reddit, friends, a specialist Facebook group, apps, Wikipedia, an AI chat, a reverse image search etc. to answer simple questions or identify objects. Also see rule 1, “comment baiting”.
There are a number of content specific communities with subject matter experts who can help you.
Some other communities to consider before posting:
5. Keep it dull. If it puts us to sleep, it’s on the right track. Examples of likely not dull: jokes, gross stuff (including toes), politics, religion, royalty, illness or injury, killing things for fun, or promotional content. Feel free to post these elsewhere.
6. No hate speech, sexism, or bullying No sexism, hate speech, degrading or excessively foul language, or other harmful language. No othering or dehumanizing of anyone or negativity towards any gender identity.
7. Proofread before posting. Use good grammar and punctuation. Avoid useless phrases. Some examples: - starting a post with "So" - starting a post with pointless phrases, like "I hope this is allowed" or “this is my first post” Only share good quality, cropped images. Do not share screenshots of images; share the original image.

It looks like the WK3000 is semi-weighted, so not really light as a synth action, but not a hammer weighted action like your Roland.
I find the Roland FP's action to be a bit heavier than my teacher's Yamaha upright, but lighter than my Rhodes. If you get your technique down playing a synth or semi-weighted action, if you do decide to get a hammer action or acoustic piano later on, your fingers won't have the muscle and/or muscle memory to play on the heavier action.
I had somewhat the opposite issue when I started taking lessons, as I'd been playing the Rhodes for about a year or so, and I was pounding the heck out of the acoustic keys. I got it tuned up by Vintage Vibe and the action is better now but it is still heavier. The other issue I had to deal with was I learned the Rhodes keys are a hair skinnier than standard piano keys, so playing the Roland I got when the Rhodes went in the shop or my teacher's piano, all of a sudden my fingers had to reach further for octaves.
I think OP's find is tremendous for someone interested in trying piano/keyboard/MIDI, but if they do decide to stick with it, they would probably want to upgrade at that point.
