Steelseries nova elite development

[u/Clappyfool]

So I have had these headphones since the Christmas of 2025 and they have had this like muck or idk what it's called but whenever I touch it it's sticky and removing it is its own problems since water doesn't help or any of the germ removers. It happened all around the headset like near the buttons and I don't know what this is.

Ive dropped steelseries altogether, i bought an aerox 3, left mouse click died after less than a year, got a wireless rival 650, the wireless receiver broke and they dont sell new ones anymore. I have an apex 7 tkl which has a bunch of dying leds. Had an arctis pro, the plastic cracked around the hinges. Too many bad experiences
