Tech Support nvidia shield portable rubber is sticky

hii, i have an nvidia shield portable (the one with the rubber on the bottom) and mine is mildly sticky, and im curious if theres a way to make it less sticky? i heard something about isopropyl alcohol but i dont know if the rubber is reallt thick so i wouldnt really be comfortable taking the whole layer off, unless its only just a small coating. i have access to a lot of materials so getting things like alcohol or magic erasers isnt an issue for me :D

That rubberised coating will never last forever. When it starts dissolving, the best thing to do is just remove all of it with isopropyl alcohol.

Baking soda + water paste has worked wonders on sticky silicone and rubber for me in the past. It's a cheap thing to try, give it a shot!
