Odd smell from hands, possibly from gaming

So lets right out front admit it.

I game on a mac. I don't game 24/7, I also do work on it so its not that bad. Hey, at least I dual booted it with windows :P

Now don't go spamming me about this, because thats not what this is about. I needed portability with a good weight, and a good performance standpoint. 

My laptop is a late 2014 15" Macbook pro with retina display. This behemoth packs a pretty serious punch for a laptop, not to mention its apple.

I can power two external displays, but havent gotten a chance to try it with 3, but i've heard it can be done, and im sure a GTX 750M can do it easily. I use a logitech G700S for my mouse, and thats what this comes down to. I am considering migrating to a Mad Catz Rat Pro X when it is in-stores, but I'll have to see. 

 

I use my computer every day (unless there is a special event or something) and almost every day I game. TF2, Goat simulator (all basic stuff, but this is a brand new laptop, so now I have more breathing room to try better games) After gaming, there is a weird smell on my hands. It almost smells of propane or a gas, and cheese. Its weird. Now don't go saying what a lot of people think it might be, trust me i've considered it and ruled it out. Just don't.

 

Is it the mouse? The keyboard? Im considering getting a Corsair K70 RGB with MX blues, so that may be a solution...

Does anybody else have this issue? My hands generally don't sweat that much but its a possibility. I guess you never know (^ _ ^)

Sweat combined with left overs of whatever you ate that stuck to your fingers (not necessarily visible to you). :)

It's lotion..

 

(Seriously though, it's probably from the mouse. I think MadCatz mice are made of plastic..)

I wash my hands after I eat usually every time...

Most mice are plastic, but the Rat Pro X is boasting 'magnesium alloy' construction if thats true or not idk

Oh, I thought you had a MadCatz mouse. I don't really like them, because they are made of very thin and cheap feeling plastic.

Do you wash your hands with soap? Because otherwise there might be some food left still

Yeah I use soap

The Rat Pro X doesnt look like it has much plastic, except for the back at the 'palm rest' area

Wow, now that you mention it, it does sound disturbing xD

Do you have nails? Could it be stuck underneath them? Or maybe it's stuck to the keyboard/mouse or inside the keyboard so when the laptop heats up the smell starts to appear?

Do you use a mousepad?

not all the time, but usually, yes. Sometimes I use my dining room table and that actually is a really good tracking surface

Would you happen to know if your mousepad has a bad smell? My new mousepad makes my hand smell like absolute shit after about 5 minutes of using my mouse on it.
