How much would the case cost? Would it be the same as the Original Prodigy?

The rubberised surface gets sticky because the "paint" decomposes over time and exposure i think. I have other things with surfaces that has the stuff. Alcohol seems to dissolve it.

The carbon fibre looks cool rclxms.gif

dissolve it?? could you get a clean surface off from doing this though??


I guess so, it kinda tricky tho. I've only did it once before. I have a music stand that has the rubberised handle. Over time it became sticky and I didn't like it. I googled the product and turns out other people were having the same problem. Some of them recommended alcohol.

What happened was the rubberised paint came off and revealed the hard plastic below the paint layer. i wasn't sure on the correct of applying the alcohol so i wet a rag with the alcohol and tried to wipe it off. I cant really remember what happened next, i think It became stickier and I decided the progress was too slow. i ended up going to the sink and poured the alcohol over the thing and spread it with my fingers. Then wash it off.

There was a slight discolouration to the material after that. Before the alcohol it was a matte black, and now it became a slightly greyish colour with soft white accents. Almost no stickiness after that.

Well, I didn't really notice any damage or melting of the plastic. Maybe it affects some types of plastics differently. The plastic that i worked with was quite thick.

I googled "how to remove rubber paint from plastic" just now and found this forum.

Somebody asked how to remove the rubber on a Razer Lycosa Mouse. They seem to think mild ammonia is the answer. In glass cleaners...?

Does the Bitfenix Prodigy have this material?

lol bro, lycosa is a keyboard and yes, the rubberized surface feels kinda alike.
I once help my friend to remove the sticky rubber coating using the same  kontakt chemie label off, clean as new.
Personally haven't really touched one yet, anybody willing to let me touch theirs? tongue.gif
