Lekker wrist pad melting

[thorny hamlet]

Hello,
Got an unexpected issue happening, not sure if this is a known thing or just bad luck, but my blue silicone wrist pad (lekker blue) is sweating small amounts of yellowish oil from the bottom honeycomb and the top has wet/dry spots. Chemical reaction? Biodegradable materials? It's making a large oily yellow/brown stain on my plastic desk too.

Sorry for the bit of dirt, I haven't washed it off yet since I'm not sure if using soap is going to hurt it more.

I would contact support. Did this all happen in one day or gradually?

I‘d clean off your desk and stop using the wrist rest for now and then message support. Are you using it in a particularly warm/humid environment? I could imagine that causing issues at times

I see lekker keycaps and a Lekker edition 2HE. I assume the wristrest is roughly the same age? 🙂

It's been happening gradually and I've been wiping off the top with paper towels. The bottom edge of the keyboard was greasy and I never get anything oily near it. So I just flipped the wrist rest over while cleaning the keyboard and found the heavier oil deposits underneath.

The keyboard casing failed about a year ago too, the blue backplate basically disintegrated into soft blue crumbles when I replaced the USB-C port.

Yes it was gotten with the Lekker edition pre-order and I think I've had it since mid 2021

The environment has a pretty standard level of humidity, ~55%. Don't get condensation anywhere.

Def contact support about both those things
