Repairs conductive rubber key contacts and buttons in music keyboards
10ml bottle - enough to repair 400+ contacts
Over time the conductive coating on the rubber pads wears out and the switches fail. By the time this happens your unit is "last year's model" and a new conductive rubber keymat from the manufacturer is either unavailable or very expensive. Other problems can cause non-functioning keys, of course, but if the keyboard plays over MIDI some of the less frequently used switches or keys still work, there's a good chance that it can be repaired by just restoring the conductive coating to the rubber pads. Remote Restore is a specially formulated coating that restores conductivity to the worn switches and gets them working again.
Essentially all you are doing is re-coating the rubber keymat contacts with a new conductive layer. The hardest part is often working out how to dismantle the keyboard to fix it!
