Razer 13" Swelling around track pad, space bar, "C" and "V"
Is there anything I can do about some swelling around the track pad, space bar, c and v keys on my laptop? It's no longer under warranty.

If it's no longer under warranty the battery will continue to swell causing damage to the chassis and trackpad.
You should consider replacing or removing the battery ideally via a professional repair service. Official support may be available via Razer but you will need to contact Razer Support to confirm and get additional details.
On a personal note, unfortunately all 6 of my Razer Blades have had battery swelling issues within 1-2 years of usage. It seems pushing the limits of thermal and size constraints has its flaws, BUT Razer seems to have introduced a 2 year battery warranty for 2022 and newer laptops so hopefully either a better supplier has been found, better cells are being used going forward, or product improvements into reducing the occurrence of battery swelling are now in place (better thermal pads/or battery controllers)
I do hope you get it looked into and extend the life of the device to reduce any electronics waste!
