Remove Sticky Rubber from electronics

 

• I hate electronics especially mice covered in that grippy rubber that we all know eventually turns into a sticky mess.  Here is how to remove it.
• Above pictured is an original Razer Orochi bluetooth gaming mouse.  It still works fine but the entire surface was a sticky mess.
• You will need:
• Some finger/toe brushes.  I guess a toothbrush would work too
• Goo Gone Adhesive Remover
• Baking Soda
• Isopropyl Alcohol - I used 70% but I'm sure higher would work fine.
• Gloves
• Rags, paper towels.
• Add just a little water to some baking soda until it has a consistency of toothpaste.
• Start with some goo gone.  Spray 2-3 times on a folded paper towel.  Thoroughly wipe the sticky rubbery surface. Scrub it with the brush vigorously.
• Next, dip your brush into the baking soda paste and scrub the surface again.
• Finally, wet a folded paper towel with the alcohol and remove all the remaining rubber.
• Repeat everything again as many times as need to completely remove all the rubber.  Usually twice should be enough.
• In the above picture I scrubbed really hard with the alcohol and removed some of the plastic I think but the point is the mouse is nice and smooth now and still works great.
• Isopropyl Alcohol can be absorbed through the skin so gloves would be a good idea.

• I just got nostalgic and decided to get all my handhelds together for a group photo.  Most are in great condition with screen protectors and cases so no scratches.
• I thought I still had my MicroVision but I'm having issues locating it.  I'll update if I find it.
