BTW-this is what I meant by dirty

thanks all!

It started with a droopy black key (bent hammer), and some keybed noise (worn and damaged felts) After 8 years everything is pretty dirty. I figured while it's all apart I'd clean and regrease. Things are currently greased-moving parts with close tolerances require it I suppose. I did reach out to Korg, haven't yet heard. I do know some lubricants would not be appropriate because they don't play well with rubber/plastics. The silicone base probably is the right idea. I was hoping that someone here had first hand experience with something that worked well. cheers- I think you posted the same question on the Kronos forum last week. If so, my answer is similar here. I would expect some wear on felts. Some key bed noise is normal. [ this has to be defined] it appears your K has heavy wear. Mine is 8 yrs old. I don't understand ' pretty dirty ' ? Huh ? Like lots of dust and pet hair ? Anyway, not all key beds are created equal. I think you should follow what Korg advises and/or what Korg auth service proposes. That wasn't me on the Korg forum, although I did look around there. It's my gigging board-it gets bounced around on a truck-it does outdoor shows, etc. It's dusty, bits of fuzz, and actually dirty, like the sides of the keys are somewhat black, etc. Regarding the keybed it's worn in the middle, meaning it feels and sounds different in the center of the keyboard. Ledbetter-that might be a good call Jazz+-I was thinking of using something called "Slick Honey" that I use on my bike. The consistency is very much like what's on there.

everything I've read says not to use that-it dries out and causes other problems. Have you personally used it and had a different experience?

I'm doing a refresh on my Kronos 88 keyboard-new felts, clean and lube. Does anyone know what the proper grease is for the action? I can't seem to find a definitive answer.

can we please get back on topic
