sticking keys on Hardware keyboard

[quicksound]

Hi team,

The culprit is the M-Audio Keystation Pro 88.
I've had the keyboard for approx 3 years now, and keys are starting to stick badly, causing hanging notes, terrible velocity control and almost complete un-playablity with sensitive piano pieces.

Anyone know of a fix for this problem, before I pull the keyboard open or replace it maybe unnecessarily?

Thanks in advance.

Cheers,
Gary

mine did this recently (went from a small stick on a4 to about 4 keys being unusable in about 3 weeks), i opened it and cleaned it all with antistatic cleaner and stuff but no joy.

i wouldn't waste your time. seems to be that in cutting the price at the time to make them more affordable it ended up with quite a short lifespan, as i know of at least 3 people who have the same issue with the pro88.

i bought a new one in the end.
