Digitakt keys sticking dirt

You pretty much described the summer here where I live. That could be an explanation. Maybe a sweaty summer session followed by just leaving it without cleaning for some days in my desk.

Hey, thank you for the baby powder tip! it worked for me, but the buttons were less damaged than the one pictured in this topic.

I’m curious if anyone here has simply removed the rubberized coating of any current/mkII Elektron’s keys (and maybe knobs?), using something like alcohol as suggested in this thread (removing the keys/knobs from the device first of course) …. And if so, did you successfully end with essentially

?

Great tips in this thread— I just think that if I face this issue, I’d prefer to remove the coating altogether rather than try to restore it; wanted to confirm if anyone’s been through that with an Elektron already.
