Hi everyone, I got the same issue on Stage unit. I have one perhaps two switches squicky and hard to press/step quite frequently. Actually, those are button 1 and 2 - mostly annoying when using looper mode as those stand for start/rec and stop/cancel.
Any idea how to get rid of this issue? Would WD-40 or lubricant oil help? How to use it to not to interfere with electronics inside?
I have the same issue, I have put in two support requests and have received NO response whatsoever. Very frustrating and disappointing.
Is there anyone who solved this issue?
Never WD40 or similar lubricant. Any wet lubricant will attract dust and debris.
I'm not advising anything in particular for the stage, but in general contact cleaner is best for cleaning electrical components.
Did anyone find a resolution for this?
My Stage has this issue also. Almost like the footswitches are grinding as they are pressed.
Would love to have a solution as well. Any ideas? - Thans a lot!

NEVER use WD40 for cleaning, unless is the special variant for electronics (which is really expensive so I cant recommend it anyway). Your final solution is the same as for any stomp switch in any regular pedalboard, contact cleaner (I use Isopropil alcohol abundantly), for a fast easy fix, spray it on the cavity while the equipment is disconnected from power. Press a few times, add more, it will loosen up . If you want to solve it long term, you need to take the switch out, open the case, remove any debris and dust with a nail and some cotton, then spray all the contact areas, allow to dry, and finally put back into the unit. It is normal for these kind of switches to go scratchy, has happened with my pod HD500, some of my midi controllers and one or 2 wah peddals with toggles.
Forgot to add, I am by no means a kemper authorized support guy or contributor, but thats what I would do, as I always do. Only a DIYer here.
I just purchased a relatively new second hand stage. First thing I noticed the foot switches don't have smoothness I would expect from a unit of this caliber. Feed back with hand or foot when pressing is an unpredictable random stiffness. Hesitant to spray Deoxit in the switches?
