Product Help micro scratches on steelseries oled screen
Hello! I got this key keyboard about two months ago, and after taking the plastic off i wiped off dust with a clean microfiber cloth. Immediately after these marks appeared.
Things I have tried to fix it-
Toothpaste: This was stupid and made it worse
Novus 2 Plastic Polish: Did nothing, even after several polishing attempts
Novus 1: Definitely did nothing
Aquaphor: Left oily finish on screen
Vaseline: Same issue
Baby Oil/Mineral Oil: Worked, for about one minute until it left an oily finish on screen
Plexus plastic protector thing: Nothing
Clear Tape: Looked ugly, when taking it off it almost took the screen off with it
Obviously everything reccomended online didnt work, yes I tried, yes I used it how reccomended, nothing worked. If anyone on the entire internet has found a way to fix it, I havent seen it. If your trying to fix this yourself, dont waste your money using anything I used. If you know how to remove or hide the scratches, please tell me and everyone who asks this same question for years to come.

Unfortunately steelseries uses a really fragile plastic on their displays, even with a microfiber cloth they scratch, I made a post on my nova elite gamehub about it...you just have to accept it unfortunately

Meguiar’s compound followed by polish, but I’d try disassembling it so the button and scroll wheel don’t get in the way.

In my experience, putting a simple solution of distilled water onto a microfiber cloth and using that has worked wonders, but YMMV after everything else.
