MaryAnneR Posted April 6, 2015 Share Posted April 6, 2015 I have only had my WK 6600 for just over a week and despite treating it tenderly there are fine scratches all over the display screen even in areas I have never touched. I would like to tell Casio that I am truly disappointed that they chose such cheap material in a much used area.Even fine computer cloths or the softest brushes cause scratching. I am afraid to go near the area . But it does collect a lot of dust. Have others found this same problem? I do not believe there is any way to remove these fine scratches.

Null Posted April 6, 2015 Share Posted April 6, 2015 There's a reason why people buy and use dust covers and road cases for their keyboards. If you're spending hundreds or even thousands of dollars on gear you want to protect it from greasy fingers and the elements when they are not in use. Don't blame Casio's designers for this. This is your own fault for leaving your keyboard unprotected. Gary Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gnomo Alegre Posted April 6, 2015 Share Posted April 6, 2015 (edited) Hi and welcome: I have a XW-G1 and a XW-P1 and the screens without scratching. Are you the only person who plays the keyboard?

Brad Saucier Posted April 6, 2015 Share Posted April 6, 2015 I have an XW-G1, MZ-2000 and PX-5s....No problem with scratches here. Use a cleaning cloth for eyeglasses. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jokeyman123 Posted April 6, 2015 Share Posted April 6, 2015 Try this: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Novus-1-2-3-Combo-pak-2-oz-3-step-Polish-Restore-Plastics-Like-New-/140853045419?hash=item20cb7ee8ab&vxp=mtr I've used this on many plastic screens to remove small scratches, most electronics manufacturers use plastic screen covers, Casios are no worse than any others i've used. Novus is about the best I have found, jeweller's rouge is also good but be careful with it, its pretty coarse. The Novus is a little less abrasive. I've also used Brasso but this is messier to work with-it's a liquid and the Novus polishes are a thicker consistency paste. Have you considered using screen protectors such as used on tablets and smartphones? If you can restore the screen, might help to preserve your work. I've also used automotive polishing compounds but the Novus is about the same. The #3 Novus can really get out some nasty scratches. I've also use #2 on solid color plastics if the finish is old and faded, does a nice job to restore stuff. And happyrat-absolutely right. there are many reasons to keep stuff covered. Rather spill my chili dog on a keyboard cover than on the keyboard-it kind of changes things in a not good way. Definitely makes it feel different.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Display Name Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 Hi and welcome to the Casio forums. I have three Casios that are all well played and do not have any issues with scratches on the screen. Did you buy this used or was it display model? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaryAnneR Posted May 21, 2017 Author Share Posted May 21, 2017 As I stated "despite treating it tenderly " and covering it when I am not playing. I am the only one playing and treat it very very kindly. The material is poor. It was brand new. I noticed the scratches and took it back. I got another unopened box and the second on was scratched within the week despite tenderest of treatment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jokeyman123 Posted May 21, 2017 Share Posted May 21, 2017 Maybe these were not new. Most new keyboards will have a clear plastic protective screen you can peel off applied at the factory. Make sure your screen is not actually one of these whichare meant to be temporary and meant to be peeled off. Just a guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad Saucier Posted May 21, 2017 Share Posted May 21, 2017 This was posted over two years ago. Why come back now? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Display Name Posted May 21, 2017 Share Posted May 21, 2017 The material used on the screen is plexiglass, which is very strong but can scratch if not cared for correctly. Being this isn't a touch-screen, you shouldn't have to wipe it at all.. just a blast with some compressed air. I am struggling to figure out how you scratched the screen on the second one within in a week despite all the TLC. Something must have come into contact with it. Do you have a nosy cat? My suggestion: Get one of those cell phone screen protectors from the dollar store. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Casiokid Posted May 22, 2017 Share Posted May 22, 2017 Applying a screen protector might mask also these scratches ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stewart Posted January 28, 2018 Share Posted January 28, 2018 I use a cheap smartphone screen protector on all my Keyboards, works like a charm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chas Posted January 28, 2018 Share Posted January 28, 2018 I just don't scratch my screens! Can't say that any of mine have picked up scratches since I have had them. I look after my gear for sure, but don't handle them with kid gloves. They are meant to be played after all. Also, something must have touched/ been dragged over these screens to cause these scratches. They don't just scratch themselves out of thin air.

Caps Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 (edited) MaryAnneR is talking about micro scratches. If the light is right, you will see them. All plastic production runs may vary in density. I would like to see what mobile phones use, glass, to insure clarity and long screen life.

Use a cleaning cloth for eyeglasses. My battle-worn WK-1350's screen is STILL alive and it's 18 years old. I don't know what everyone else does, but for ME, I just claim NOT trying to DO anything HARMFUL to it, in the first place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GilbertWalker Posted February 1, 2019 Share Posted February 1, 2019 You cannot remove the fine scratches now but you can make use of screen protectors to avoid further scratches. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
