I have been looking and looking, but very few stores have these
keyboards to test out. Hopefully I can get some extra advise online as
to which one to get. I am currently looking between the following
keyboards:

studiologic 990xp
m-audio keystation 88
yamaha kx88
any others recommend frequently

The only one I can find to test is the keystation 88. I understand the
yamaha is out of print, and that I won't be able to find it to test.
Which one would be the best to go for? The most important thing is
FEEL. Another imporant thing is resonse, but not quite as important as
feel (as I often edit the velocities later). I like heavy keys. I know
for sure I kinda like the YDP113+ keys and the p60 by yamaha (on
both), but I am not looking for sounds. I was also hoping for a better
feel than those, as they are good, not great. I appreciate all
responses and thank you for any help in advance (in case my lazy arse
doesn't do it later)

Given that, you really want to play them. My sister likes Kurzweil. I
prefer Yamaha.

Don't buy anything you haven't played.

The only one I can find to test is the keystation 88.

They have these at my local Guitar Center.
