As for me, I use https://www.woolworths.com.au/shop/prod ... oo-remover. It's a citrus based acidic sticker remover that works on both hardware and game cases

I use adhesive side of the stickers themselves. It works 50/50.

I just use sheer will-power. Often times, if I get an electronic full of stickers, it was a hand-me-down that I'm only using because it's obsolete low-end hardware I'm using to test a game on. Since I'm not going to take it out into public or use it as a daily system, a lil left-over adhesive residue isn't going to hurt me.

Now, if there are stickers on an electronic that I bought myself? That's another story, probably involving a baseball bat or other blunt object targeted at whoever decided to break into my bedroom just to put stickers on my computer.

If its just a normal plastic backed sane sticker that peels of in one go i normaly just let any small amount of resedue just get removed by palm oil if its a morden laptop. If its a older one i just use some normal ipa and just wipe it of with a bit of elbo grease and it usualy is just fine.

If its a paper back one I normaly let them soak in ipa for them to start to get desolved and use a spudgure to get most of it of and then a damp cloth.

But most of the time stickers normaly just peel off
I'm really bad at english, im also clinically tired.

hand sanitizer works really well, cuz it doesn't evaporate immediately
