My palms get sweaty which causes dirty controllers and me to make mistakes during intense situations when gaming. I was thinking about getting these gamer gloves, but they seem rather expensive. Does anyone wear gloves and can you recommend me a pair.

What a great reply gif. Perfectly encapsulates my thought when I saw the title. And when I see a lot of posts on GAF for that matter.
With that being said, if you feel like they'd help OP, $35 isn't really that much. I thought they'd be like $150 when you said rather expensive.

Shouldn't you let your hands treat, when it's so bad?

Are you really making mistakes due to sweating or are you just making mistakes because you can't handle the pressure?

That's like people who still pull driving gloves from their commuter car's glovebox whenever they're heading out.
I used to use a piece of silk to cover my finger when doing the two button rub technique on Daily Thompsons Decalthon

Heh, can't say I have OP. When I was younger, I got really annoyed with how sweaty my hands were while gaming and bought one of these bad boys:
It seemed like the perfect solution to my problem, but it ended up being terrible. With the fans on high I went from having sweaty hands to goddamn icicles. With the fans on low my hands would still sweat as if they weren't on at all. Since then I've just given up and accepted my fate.

I think the technical term is "the track and field rub"

I sometimes use liquid bandage to give myself artificial calluses if I'm playing something with intense button mashing. I've also worn fingerless gloves/arm warmers while gaming when I'm really cold, not sure if they'd help with sweat.

Ummm, no, and I'm a very sweaty guy. I'd try a few <$5 work gloves before going with that though.
Hey now, those "gamer HDMI" cables have extra gold so you get the most throughput for the brightest colors and lower display lag. I actually did buy a grossly overpriced "gamer Ethernet" cable once, but in my defense I was going to a LAN party to play HALO, needed an extra controller, was at Best Buy when I realized I had left my Ethernet cable at home and, well, only port in a storm.

Listen OP, I have sweaty hands too. I don't really use gloves tho because they mess up my skills, but when I really needed to or maybe it was a really cold day, I used to grab some regular cloth gloves and cut the fingers part, that way they didn't annoy me that much to play.

How else am i supposed to snack my Gamerfood: Seeds of Destruction while sitting on my Gamer Chair at my Gamer Desk with Razer Branded Gamer Mouse and Gamer Keyboard wearing a Razer Gamer Shirt and Razer Gamer Cap?
Are the headphones Gamer Headphones, preferably Razer branded, as well? I'd love to see someone actually play a game like that in a non-advertorial manner.

A friend of mine got a pair this past week for when he plays Street fighter. He seems happy with them so far.
