When doing anything that involves sticky stuff, and a computer, isopropyl alcohol is probably your best bet. Make sure not to use too much, though.

Peripherals/Other:

ASUS VG27AQ • G PRO K/DA • G502 Hero K/DA • G733 K/DA • G840 K/DA • Oculus Quest 2 • Nintendo Switch (Rev. 2)

 

Laptop (Dell XPS 13):

Got any questions about my system or peripherals? Feel free to tag me (@bellabichon) and I'll be happy to give you my two cents.

Vegetable oil and dish soap to clean up any remainders and all the oil.

 

Trust me, I've done it :)

sometimes duct tape works. just repeatedly sticking fresh parts of the duct tape adhesive to the unwanted residue usually lifts it up, has been a decent go-to for me before trying the messier liquid options

CPU: AMD Sempron 2400+ / MOBO: Abit NF7-S2G / GPU: WinFast A180BT 64MB / RAM: Mushkin DDR333 256MBx2 / HDD: Seagate Barracuda 7200RPM 120GB

Go with a stronger solvent, if isoporpyl doesn't work you can try stepping up to acetone or naptha just becareful around plastics or wood tables as it will damage them.
