 Hi Jurgen,
 Are you sure that it would be the keys that is causing the discomfort? The 
reason I ask is because whenever I buy a new (to me) keyboard, I usually 
spent a long amount of time "button pushing" to get familiar with the machine 
and creating new sounds.

 Maybe your finger pain is coming from pressing all the front panel buttons, 
in addition to the keys? : )

 Cheers,
