Has anyone done this?

I've got a Maschine Studio that isn't under warranty anymore.
Some of its pads get stuck sometimes, and sometimes you gotta bang them many times until they respond.

I thought of opening it and cleaning the pads.
Anything I should be aware of?

well i would open it up and take a look under the rubber to see what is going on... it's a moving part, it could need maintenance. I am not sure what sort of sensor system the maschine has... but make sure if you clean it, it's dry before powering it back on so you don't screw it up.

If all the pads work but only after a few hits maybe it's dirt or something not aligned properly.
