Hi,
I recently acquired a lightly used M1 in a pristine condition but the keybed is sticky and the keys don’t move lightly. Any know solutions ?

Sorry to say this will need to take the keybed apart and clean all the keys, probably in hot soap water.
It’s not a difficult task, I’ve done this serveral times already and is based on a Yamaha design. However you do need to be careful with the contacts they can be easily bent if disassembled incorrectly

I see. That’s the conclusion i came to. It is what it is, will take it apart then. I came across a lot of keyboards with similar keybed and i believe this is the first one i notice with this issue. Very robust and high quality keybed though.
I know what you mean about the contact. I learned the hard way .
Thank you for your time.
No worries, pleased to be able to help. I think it’s the same keybed as the Yamaha DX7 if that helps
Hi,
I recently had the same issue with a Wavestation that has the identical keybed. Follow these steps
It’s a long process, several hours at a casual pace, but it will be like new again.
Thank you for your time and the efforts in elaborating about the repair process. That is what I’ll be doing for sure. I can see the design concept of the M1 is not the greatest hence a little annoying to work on repairs. I had to replace the push bottoms and it was a nightmare to remove and out the keyboard back together.
Note, i saw your respond earlier and i thought i replied but it looks like i didn’t properly post it.
Thanks and Kind Regards
