I have bought a Dell Latitude E6430 laptop, sight unseen. These are about 12-13 years old now. They have an unusual rubbery sort of surround around the keyboard, which doesn't stand the test of time as well the rest of the machine. On this laptop, it has become sticky, I assume as the "rubber" breaks down. It feels unpleasant to rest your hands on as you type - as if you are touching a dissolved sweet or something.
Any thought on how I may rejuvenate this, either by rejuvenating the surface, or by covering it up, maybe with some sort of coating?
I don't think I can pass this one on as intended, unless I improve the "feel" of it. #Dell #laptop

Apparently I'm not alone in this problem. Scraping and isopropyl alcohol seem to be the generally accepted solution.
Project for tomorrow.
