   @tregeagle @mycorrhiza @bobjonkman This material is a catastrophe. It leads to planned obsolescence.

     @mycorrhiza I have the same problem with bicycle handlebar grips. I generally wrap a strip of fabric around them. Not sure you could get much functionality out of your laptop if you did the same.

     If you have an old plastic device with a coating that once made it feel slightly rubberized, but has since become uncomfortably sticky, I’m finding that isopropyl and a bit of elbow grease takes that coating off, leaving the smooth hard plastic beneath.

     Does anyone know if there’s a better way to do this? I just reclaimed an old gaming mouse, and I’d like to attack an even older Alienware laptop next. Laptops should not be sticky.
