Has anyone come up with the definitive solution for this common problem. I've read lots of threads from all over the interwebs and there's lots of "try this..." but I can't find any fix that has been verified successful.
As far as I can remember alcohol and elbow grease is the solution.

That's why I did for my FX sabers. I'm not sure if it permanently fixes it or not though.

On the FX sabers, the grips seem to be hard plastic sprayed with a rubber finish. The rubber is what's deteriorating and becoming tacky. Using "alcohol and elbow grease" probably just scrubs off the coating and leaves the bare plastic so, it should be fine going forward.
Should work the same on the higher end replicas, unless the entire part is solid rubber.
Although the original T tracks WERE solid plastic.
At the risk of making a bad pun they should sticky this thread. The question comes up a few times a year...
Indeed. MR could have been that much more accurate and saved us all a ton of grief a decade later by NOT using that crappy rubber coating.
Is there any way to prevent the stickiness from starting??

That rubber coating will degrade in the end. It is only a matter of time.
