I need something harder :) I’ve already developed a pretty good dexterity, now I want to go even further and this exercises don’t seem to help me anymore…I can repeat them like 100 times and I don’t feel a thing.

There is a definite difference in technique required for playing on weighted and non-weighted keys. That’s an interesting point.

On light keys it can make your hand sloppy. I hv realised that hannon works best on weighted keys. On light keys it can make your hand sloppy.

In this case, it would be better to use a lighter model and ensure your fingers are evenly strengthened, particularly the smaller fingers. If you are playing an acoustic or weighted digital piano then you will be developing strength as you play — the Gripmaster (or similar devices) just allow you that extra bit of physical training when you can't be near a keyboard.

What would you recommend when using GRIPMASTER, start with less weight on each finger then gradually move to heavier weights? I'll greatly appreciate your advice.
