The tactile difference between black and white keys is quite helpful for being able to feel where within the octave your hand is. There are surely other ways, some which may be better, but it is far from trivial to figure out what form of tactile feedback would be best.
But mostly I'm skeptical such a keyboard would succeed in the market because it would be useless for for experienced pianists and would run the risk of becoming associated with novices and signal incompetence.

- analog31 6y agoThis happens all the time. It's a continual process. Within the past century, there have been at least three or four major revolutions in the instrumentation and techniques for producing popular music. Everybody else doesn't follow, not because we're old fashioned, but because we're following our own enjoyment amidst the huge diversity within the world of music. I perform regularly on an instrument that is a couple of revolutions removed from its contemporary analogue.

Alternative keyboards are rare and prohibitively expensive. Once you have learned to play a piano, alternatives have already lost the bulk of their relative value.
