What do you clean your Kronos touchscreen with?

Post by keywhiz61 »

Obviously, the touchscreen is going to get dirty. Especially for those of use that use the board in a live situation.

What is the best recommendations for cleaning that won't scratch/damage the surface?

Sounds nice, but unfortunately, I'm not very good at playing keyboards with a pen between my fingers. And I also sing so holding one in my mouth isn't an option either.

I've heard iKlear recommended at least a couple of times over at Karma-Lab Forums to clean various LCD/LED screens:

Just use a regular microfibre cloth, similar to the ones used for cleaning spectacles.

I have a computer repairer/geek friend that gave me a blue cloth to use. Not sure what it is but it works. Considering most users use their fingers, he also recommended that it should be cleaned at the end of each session but after turning the the keyboard off. He says that only very light force should be used and that very little dampness (no chemicals at all) should be used. He also said using a stylus is better than all of the above.

Just about any micro fibre cloth will work (blue is popular but other colors are available). You can pick those cloths up at almost any electronics store (Fry's Electronics is a big one out here in California, that's where I got mine). Not sure but I think Radio Shack may have them too.

Not a real good option in the long run. Those things get dirtier faster than the material used to create a touch-sensitive screen, so you are cleaning the screen more often & thereby applying pressure more often, and they do deaden the touch ability as well.
