My hands were, dry, chapped and almost bleeding. I play my PA4x & S88 MK2 a lot but the dry hands were really becoming an issue. Every lotion I tried would either leave residue on my keyboards or not perform as advertised.

After going through eight(Cool different products I found one that I'll continue to use long after Covid-19. Gold Bond Ultimate Healing w/Aloe. The label reads ten(10) surface Layers Deep. My immediate thoughts were "yeah, right".

Bought one tube, came home, put a small dab of the cream on my hands and rubbed it in. My hands felt greasy so I wiped them off with a towel. They still felt greasy so I wiped them off again. Same result, they felt greasy & slippery. Grabbed a paper towel to get the stuff off of my hands but nothing was coming off so I sat down and first typed on my computer keyboard and there were no prints or residue on the PC's keyboard. I then tried my PA4x and my hands were lightening fast and no residue at all was on the keys. This stuff works for hours!

I have no idea what chemical(s) are different but if all the hand washing and drying are affecting your ability to play, I strongly recommend trying this. You won't be disappointed. As I don't own another Korg Keyboard I won't be posting this on other sub-forums as I don't think it's ethical. If you try this and have a Kronos, Kross, etc. please pass it on.

Hand sanitisers are crap and ruin the skin when used to the extent we are needing to - just regularly use a good moisturiser afterwards - worked for us...

Korg: a convenient hand sanitiser dispenser on the next model would be excellent Wink

Very Happy

Bill,

It's a great question - for years, my kids have bought me different moisturisers because my skin is very dry, but usually I just stopped using them because they were so greasy. Unrelated, I was given some 'Bull Dog Stubble Moisturiser' for Christmas and I thought I would try it as a hand lotion.

Rubs in well, not greasy, and scentless.

Bull Dog is available in UK and Australia, not sure of other countries.

Should the Gold Bond ever fail me or they stop making it, I'll try your suggestion even if it means international shipping to the US. It's that important to me. I suspect others will feel the same way the first time they have any loss of hand motion. You really can't appreciate it until you've lost it.
