I suspect these simulated keys have no weight/spring back force. Ie. the robot hand doesn't have to 'push hard' to make them go down.

It would be equivalent to you trying to play a holographic piano in the air in front of you. I suspect you'd adopt a very different hand position too.

We're using the MuJoCo simulator under the hood: https://mujoco.org/

The keys are actually implemented using a spring mechanism, but springs in MuJoCo are currently linear, which isn't the case in the real world.
