be careful with Windex it can leave your keys buttons and knobs sticky.and it can change the color of your synth. also use a small paint brush to dust it. It will keep you from messing up your keys.

I did a complete disassembly on mine and cleaned every single key,
board, and component before reassembling. I cleaned keys and plastics
with Windex, and cleaned circuit boards with isopropyl alcohol, which
evaporates quickly and leaves no residue. I think the only tool I
needed was a #2 Phillips screwdriver.
