Has anyone noticed that roccat mice surface starts melting?
The black smooth surface on my old roccat kone starts melting and becomes very sticky.
End up tossing it after reluctantly using it some more, covering the entire mouse surface with stickers and masking tape.
What's more, my Bosch hand held vacuum cleaner has the same smooth black surface and it too melted after a while.
This puts me off any product made with the same type of surface.
Joel1324There was once i witnessed a mosquito land on the back of my hand. Curious, i just watched.
Just seconds after it proceeded with its meal, its belly started smoking.
Its whole body started smoking too and when it's over, what remained was a pile of black goop.
I smeared it on the wall next to me and continued playing basketball in my cell.
The wall too started smoking...
bsastorThanks for this. I know it's old but wanted to reply anyway.
This is common with polymers and rubber. It really shouldn't happen for like 6 years though. I've pulled old cell phones out of my closet (~8 years) and they have gunked up whatever they were stored with because it gooefied. How old was the mouse?
ScroogeMcNateBefore i finally ditched it, it might have been 5 years or so. But it happened much sooner, maybe 2yrs in to service. I used it daily for tasks and gaming. Since this incident i became really aware of this type of material and avoid it as best i could. Recently i got a little electronic guitar tuner made of the same material. It too melted while in storage for a few months since i got it. So there kids, this is my experience so far. Not going to say this will surely happen with yours, but be aware.
