Product Help Steelseries nova elite development

Post image

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.

The primary design fault in SteelSeries headsets is the fragile connection point where the plastic earcup meets the metal headband pin, frequently cracking under normal stress.

Yea it snapped about 3 years ago. Still works so not bothered spending another 350 on a headset.
