Talk about a badass

On topic, these gloves seem like a scam

 

[loudbill]

I do sometimes in the winter when my hands get really cold, but i need to get a pair of fingerless gloves.

 

[borges]

That sounds really uncomfortable, haha. Had on idea Gamer Gloves were a thing.

Exactly my thoughts.

 

[Archanfel]

I actually found that the Switch gave me a thumb blister while playing Slime San. A glove might be helpful, though I should probably learn how to play with analog. I just hate it for side scrollers.

 

[blackdevil]

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.

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.

?

why are some playing in such a cold room that gloves are needed?^^

 

[mhayes86]

I was thinking about getting these gamer gloves, but they seem rather expensive. Does anyone wear gloves and can you recommend me a pair.

LOL Gamer Gloves. Throw the word "Gamer" on anything and jack the price up.

No, I don't wear gloves. I would imagine that they would impede my ability to play. Hell, I've tried typing with gloves on when I was cold, and I end up making more mistakes.

 

[Cartho]

I wear silk lined Mink gloves while gaming. It's the only way.

 

[eXistor]

My hands are actually freakishly dry all the time, so I never had this problem. Everytime I get handed a controller from someone it's all clammy and shit, it's gross, but apparently that's normal and I'm the freak. If I press my hand against a blackboard, nothing happens.

 

[Pila]

I'm kinda sweaty and this summer is horrible here in Italy, 40 Celsius like it's nothing, feels like hell really.

I don't use gloves, I just sweat. It's just a controller man and you're not losing games because you sweat. Don't buy "gamerz" scams.

[Ensoul]

Never thought I'd see a worse gimmick than gaming glasses but here we are.

 

[CuckFupertino]

Came here to post this, am happy someone beat me to it.

 

[Kacho]

Do you suffer from excessively sweaty palms OP?

Like, if your hands aren't sweaty and you think about it too much do the start to sweat?

 

[BasilZero]

Never even considered it

🤔

 

[Crimsonclaw111]

That's like people who still pull driving gloves from their commuter car's glovebox whenever they're heading out.

Is op Ted from How I Met Your Mother?

 

[Luminaire]

Only Razer Vyp3r Tactical Gaming Gloves so I can be at the top of my game and bring a new competitive edge to eSports. While other Gamers are dropping and fumbling their controllers from their shaky and sweaty hands, I bring the heat to them thanks to my Razer Vyp3r Tactical Gaming Gloves.

 

[Van Bur3n]

Do I look like a nerd to you?

I've come to learn that many gaffers are still living in the dark ages. I don't understand it either. My house is the same temperature year round.

 

[KRaZyAmmo]

Nope. I didn't know it was a thing.

 

[Zombine]

I dress entirely in latex

 

[tmespe]

I wear these

Though I wear them all day. Can never be too careful.

 

[Meier]

Stealth affiliate link thread??

There is a ref in there followed by a string of numbers but I have no clue if that is just sort of always there or what. Not a bad idea if that was actually what happened.

 

[GoingToDelete]

During winter I wear these

I have poor blood circulation and my hands get cold easily.

Yeah I do the same.

 

[LiK]

No way. Your hands would get even more sweaty and gross.

 

[foltzie1]

Only when playing the original Mario Party.

 

[fluffydelusions]

That sounds really uncomfortable, haha. Had on idea Gamer Gloves were a thing.

It's also Monday so....

 

[pete_clarf]

I had a brief time with wearing gloves, but it was because I couldn't stand the fingerprints on the Wii U Pro controller and Dualshock 4. I got over it after about a month.

 

[ch4fx_]

My palms get sweaty

How are your knees, OP?

EDIT - jokes aside.. wash your hands with soap & COLD water before you game, it'll help with the sweaty palms.

Spoiler

I can't help with a vomit covered sweater, sorry.

 

[Avallon]

NeoGAF is such a weird place sometimes.

Stealth affiliate link thread??

also this.

 

[Keratay]

Same, I wear something that covers my palms but leaves my fingers exposed (though not because I'm cold)

I used to do it for pc gaming since I have a hard mousepad and rested the heel of my palm on it, which got uncomfortable for those long grind sessions.

 

[stargateheaven]

The only time i see people wearing gloves is in japanese arcades.

 

[Bl@de]

Nah I use chalk for my perfect controller grip.

 

[frontovik]

Unfortunate condition, but I would imagine most people wouldn't wear gloves otherwise.

Streets of Rage 4?

 

[Earthbound64]

"GAM3R GLOV3S"?...

 

[Anteater]

it's time to use all those disposable kfc plastic gloves

 

[Shikoba]

No. I do, however, wash my hands before playing my 3DS. Because it's a white console and I'd like to avoid it turning yellowish over time.

 

[Nintendo's Witch]

I only use gloves for lifting and driving.

 

[Butterfly Witch]

I do have some compression gloves I use if my arthritis is giving me shit. They're fingerless and they don't get in the way at all. I also will wear some fingerless hand warmers sometimes if my hands start getting too cold as it can also set off the arthritis.


Do what you have to do in order to make things work for you. Personally, those look a little overpriced and i don't really see how they'd do anything that regular gloves wouldn't but you do you.

 

[Vandiger]

I'll sometimes wear weightlifting or workout gloves while playing. Didn't know there were actual gloves for gaming.

 

[Common Knowledge]

I sweat a lot too, but I usually just put a portable fan on and have it blowing next to me when I'm playing.

 

[Instro]

I keep one hand in Vaseline filled glove.

 

[Sheytan]

Botox injections helps if your palm sweat creates lots of problems in your private life, a friend of mine did it.

Gamer Gloves


GAMER


GLOVES

 

[Stormhammer]

ya'll makin fun of gamerz productz but ya'll probably got ya'lls rooms filled with funkopops and amiibos

 

[jack....]

There were tons of ads for these in every 90s video game magazine

 

[Kudo]

I've come to learn that many gaffers are still living in the dark ages. I don't understand it either. My house is the same temperature year round.

It's not dark ages if you live in countries where summer is extremely warm and winter is extremely cold, costs fortunes to warm up the apartment to the summer temperatures in winter and cool it down for summer.

Only good use for gloves in gaming I can think of is touch screen rhythm games like MaiMai.

[MulderYuffie]

yeah man every day!

 

[Sora the Cat]

Yup, pretty much. In my case putting a pair of fingerless gloves fixes it so I don't really mind using them.
