Hi All

I just picked up a CPC6128 With sticky keys.

How do you fix Sticky keys (Mechanical)
Is there a Lube, ( Graphite, ??? )

Thanks Ray

I grabbed some silicone lube spray from Bunnings, disassembled the keyboard, then sprayed it into all the key holes. And then spent ages mopping up the excess.

And the keyboard has felt brand new ever since.

I've got sticky keys on my 6128 too. I'll need to do some maintenance on that too soon.

Would WD-40 work?

No, too aggressive and it's NOT a lubricant, it'll destroy the keys over time.
