Thank you for the reply jokeyman. My xwp1 still has a 2 year warranty. I'll just deal with the noisy keys. What irritates me is the cracking sound from the top chassis when i pick up the keyboard. I guess it's the way Casio builds it. I'm hoping my xwp1 is built to take it to my live performance. But when the warranty runs out i can put felt under the keys to make them quiet.
