Hi Bachus, If you use the KB in 12 hrs, like me, the LEDS makes the buttons strange, Look at the pictures, It,s like cracked, or Damaged.

Asena: that is pretty weird. I have not had that problem on my board at all. Now I do not keep my board on 12 hours a day, but have had it on six or seven hours many times and no issue. Wish I could help. Is your environment hot or cold, damp or dry, clean or dusty?

Honestly, complete non-issue for me personally. No evidence of it on my keyboard at all. If, as you say "an issue for lots of peop", then maybe a bad batch of visual indicators. But, it is not universal. 8)

I am experiencing same problem with some of my buttons.
I think this issue originated from a Facebook group for the PA5X.

Hi, hasn’t happened to mine, but, I don’t have mine running for hours at a time. Only 2 to 3 hours at a time . I switch off when I finish with it.
Sorry can’t help.

I have the same issue. It started shortly after I bought the PA5X and my keyboard has never been on for that long at one time. There is clearly a quality control/manufacturing issue.

Asena (or anyone else with this issue), have you had a tech look at it to identify what parts need to be replaced?

Hi,might be worth mentioning which model keyboard, I believe 88 note is made in Italy not Japan.

Mine is the 61 key and this issue showed up almost immediately after I got the keyboard.
