If your keyboard is not touch sensitive, you don't have a piano. Digital pianos attempt, with widely varying degrees of success, to duplicate the sound and experience of playing acoustic pianos. When a key is struck more rapidly, the volume of the sound in an acoustic piano increases. With a lightly struck key, the sound can be extremely soft. The variability of volume or sound intensity in digital pianos is possible because of touch sensitive keyboards.

This is not the same as 'weighted' keyboard. A weighted keyboard is an attempt to duplicate the tactile experience of depressing the keys of an acoustic piano. You can have touch sensitive keyboards that feel more like they are controlled by springs; this is not acceptable to most experienced piano players.

Is a Yamaha Piano YPR-7 a good keyboard?

I have a Yamaha YPR-7. It has touch sensitive keys, meaning the volume increases as you press the keys faster. The keys are not weighted, nor are they action sensitive (there is no "bang" sound when you hit the keys hard, just an increase in volume). I would recommend this piano for a child or teenager that just wants to be able to mess around on a keyboard on their own. Myself, I am upgrading to the Roland FP-7F, a very different beast.
