Silicone Pad Array
The conductive elastomer coating on the underside of the pads undergoes mechanical wear and carbon migration over time. This increases contact resistance, requiring higher actuation force to register a strike. Replacing the entire silicone array restores the original conductive properties and tactile response.

FSR Sensor Sheet (Force Sensing Resistor)
This pressure-sensitive membrane sits between the pads and the PCB; sensitivity issues often stem from micro-fractures in the silver ink traces or air gaps caused by adhesive failure. A new sensor sheet ensures a linear voltage response across the entire velocity range of the pads.

Pad Contact PCB
If sensitivity issues persist after pad replacement, the issue typically lies in the gold-plated contact traces on the PCB which can accumulate oxidation or non-conductive debris. While cleaning is an option, a replacement board is the engineering standard for restoring factory-spec signal-to-noise ratios in standalone units.
