Go to Guardian and buy Isopropyl Alcohol to clean the surface with a piece of cloth.

IPA is not used to clean away sticky stains. more to remove fungus, clean electrical contacts and for sterilised usage.

right after I posted this thread, I did a google and found a lot of solution suggesting IPA..and I remember I have a bottle of it lying down somewhere (got it from Thomson Medical Centre after my baby gal was deliver, it's actually a hand sanitizer..)

and it works! and got nice smell also.. :)

I think the melamine sponge with the IPA might works like wonder..will go daiso to get the sponge tomorrow and try..cos I was using some thick tissue and still have so unreachable spots.. :)

shall update later...

tried removing failed

now paste plastic sheet over them...keeping in mind not to buy stuff with "latex feel" or coating :mad::mad::mad:

stupid Razer/Logitech/Coolermaster all major culprits

can try R.A.T
maybe it won't be turned sticky so fast

use rubbing alcohol. it's a decent solvent that doesn't dissolve the plastics used on peripherals.

The latex/rubber coating is there to provide better grip/feeling as compared to cheap plastic surface.

AXE oil works.. but the best "tool" is liquid wax, especially silicon base liquid wax.

Not only you cleaned and removed the melted latax layer, you got a smooth waxed finish which is also a protection against stain.

whats that can post a picture ? i google but i dont know which one liao haha. where to buy ?

I stupidly used IPA plus tissue to clean my Razer Salmosa. Now the surface got the dusty feel, plus the rubber top feels melted or something. What solution would work to get it back to feeling ok?
