I’m curious, which key do you think is the easiest to play on piano?

I’ve found that newer folks tend to prefer keys with fewer accidental: C, G, F, D and Bb

Whereas there is a tendency for more experienced players to prefer keys with many flats: Db, Ab, and so on…

And (appropriately for the submissions topic), I think lot of this preference comes down to the fact that we tend to learn keys like C first, because the notation is simpler and it’s easier to remember the spacing. However most of the pianists I’ve talked to who prefer the flat keys will prefer them because of “how they fit under the hand”.

Sorry, "easiest" may not be the best word. C major is THE key of the piano keyboard and playing in C major is so easy because all of the non-exotic chords (sorry, I don't know the english nomenclature) are played on the same kind of keys and they have identical, predictable shapes.

On a keyboard like Dodeka, all chords in all keys have predictable shapes, because why shouldn't they? You should be able to transpose any song by simply moving your hands a little to the side, anything else is just bad UI.
