You know what I'm talking about, /g/. We all know.
When the plastic goes from having that matte finish to getting glossy polished by a hundred thousand or more toouches of your finger against it. On some mouses, that makes it so much more difficult to get a good grip.
Is there a way to fix this? I have a perfectly good G600 mouse and I want to recoat it to stop the gloss. I tried plastidip (a kind of spray-on rubber coating) but that wore off within a few weeks. Is there another product or technique you guys would reccommend?

Do you care about appearance? Get some rough grit sandpaper and work the worn area for a couple seconds.

Matte finishes naturally become glossy over time the more you touch it.

I know that, I'm looking for a way to restore it or make it so the surface is a little more "grippy" again and looks nice.

It's not mine, I have a Logitech g600. I just googled a picture of a worn out mouse. mine is just glossy on the L and R mouse button.

Take the mouse apart and refinish it. Aside from nigger-rigging it with grippy tape or something that is your only really option. I guess you could maybe abrade the glossy parts so they have more friction, but it probably won't feel good on your hand.

Refinish it with what, is that a specific kind of spray-on product I should use? Just like a matte finish and sealer?

Shitty abs matte finish does.

Anyone with pbt keycaps knows how long they stay nice.

it only happens when your hand is oily, clean your cheeto fingers before using your mouse and it will be good as new

It's literally impossible to keep your hands oil free, and the finish is worn off much more by friction rather than being dissolved by oil.
