Nord electro 6 - mechanical noise issues HP keybed

Post by Richiep1 »

I bought a Nord Electro 6 two weeks ago and am already having issues with keybed HP the F key is metal on metal sounds real bad plus a B key clicking
I'm going to send it back Tuesday.
Is this a common issue with the HP Keybed?

Mine is working fine since 4 years. I only re-greased it last year with some silicone grease.

It's a well known problem on HP keybeds. I have had the problem on my Electro 6 HP for years. You find several threads covering this problem here on the forum. The good news is that it does not affect the sound, but it's annoying listening to clicks and noise from an expensive keyboard like this.
