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?
Kemper Stage Footswitch quality issue?

Deoxit is not only a perfectly safe cleaner but also a good lubricant. I've use it on several guitar pots, amp pots, toggle switches, and circuit boards with exceptional results.
The Kemper foot switches are as smooth as the ones on TC Electronic stomps and not as hard as MXR, Digitech, or Keeley stomps.
However, if your unit is still under warranty then you might want to contact Support.

the physical switches are just plungers. They push on circuit board mounted real switches
I disassembled my stage and sprayed Deoxit on the switches (on the board) now all works well
