Gaming glove

Post by airassassin »

Has anyone try one of these gaming gloves?

I've asked the companies to send me a glove to review it on my TRH site, but I hadn't heard anything back. I was wondering if anyone has try one or both of the gloves and if it's worth the price.

Have you looked at the customer feedback on the Amazon site? - it's a starting point I suppose!

I use a throttle and stick so it wouldn't be much use I suppose

The one glove has a mix of reviews, and the other only has 5 reviews.

Which in itself says something! :D

$150 for 20 finger tap shortcuts = $7.50 per shortcut!

I got the impression they may be aimed at controllers that usually require several stages to access some key presses. Does that include laptops - if not, who would the target audience be?

how long have they been out? new electronics won't have had a longevity test yet in real life.

It appears to be a cool piece of kit and might be worth it just to be cool if you are of a certain age :D Minority Report but with finger taps!
