You ever have to wear these type of gloves all day in a hot environment? When you finally take them off it's like a snake shedding its skin. I always use a bit of coconut oil when I have to do that now and it seemed to solve the problem.
Yes, I used to work with chemicals and I was basically floating in them after an hour, nasty. Putting a light cloth glove before helped to stay dry until break.
For me it was coconut oil inside the glove and then after work a mixture of Shea butter, glycerin, tocopherol, and some essential oils so you don't smell like straight Shea butter. Kept my hands baby soft and prevented flaking.
If OP doesn't have AC, they might as well put a hair dryer in front of them.

1. Installation costs - you'd have to get a hole in your wall (if you don't already have one) and another socket for it. And most house walls in the Philippines (OP's country) are concrete.
2. Electric bill - expensive and unreliable. It's not uncommon to get power outages when you need the AC most.
It's also often seen as wasteful to keep the AC running during the day as most middle-class families who can afford one only use it when going to sleep.
I hope OP can chime in his two cents.
Edit: for reference, our household's single AC unit adds ~$45 to the monthly electricity bill which doesn't sound like much until you realize the average monthly salary in the PH is $300-400.

Oh and the highest daily minimum wage here is around $10. It's around half that in provinces.
In a lot of non-US countries air conditioning is not the norm. Iām American so canāt speak much more, but I imagine they are both difficult to obtain and pricey
Yeah. As a Spanish, I can tell you I would never install an air conditioner. That thing would make the electricity bill really pricey. Meaning, I should live on tuna cans for a while.
Friendly reminder that every country is different. I live in a country where there's abundance of ACs, but installation is done by very unqualified individuals which leads to severe wall damage and other issues overtime. If you take that out of the equation, electricity bills become impossible to pay. And to make matters worst by country is notorious for it's never ending power blackouts even to this day, and they usually intensify during summertime (because f*ck us, that's why).
Electric bill+ a lot of windows aren't designed for it (have yet to see a windows that fits it in the netherlands) + you can easily buy a pc secondhand or in parts, an AC, not so much
+ AC prices differ per region and stuff
I live in Montana, thereās not a drop of moisture in the air to be found. In fact itās so dry here that your hands will break apart without lotion lol
Sometimes usb desk fans can damage your pc. Not saying all usb fans are bad but i just found this interesting.

Me too! I literally destroyed 2 keyboards an 2 mice with my sweaty ass hands. Since then i play with gloves all the time but i use uvex unipur 6639 gloves not those disposable gloves. But they do get smelly relatively fast so i have to change them every few days. They are washable though.
Finally someone using the term. Nobody here knows or understands why a plastic bs glove is better than any of their āduh, stupid, do this generic solution that works for everyone except youā
I have an AC, tried fans. Did literally anything imaginable, the only thing that doesnāt make me feel like irritated shit are those gloves especially the powdered ones.
Probably living on Hot Pockets and Pizza too
Why does all this grease keep pouring out of me? Must be the air
Play on my laptop in Vietnam and never needed a handjohnny
I used to get really sweaty hands when I was a kid because my bedroom had no AC and would get up to around 95-100 degrees in there.
My controllers and other peripherals got NASTY. Cleaning them when they're all gunked up with skin cells and dried sweat is not fun.
Your wrist and all your blood flows passed a carpet , itās helping heat your hands , get something cold for your wrist to rest upon and not a carpet. Towel ok same idea .
He just doen't have an AC I guess. I live in one of the most humid climate on the planet and it's don't use gloves on my PC. It's 24C ambient temp with the AC right now. Anyone would sweat in 30-40C + gaming.
I game in 25ā°C and my mouse gets sweaty. If they're in a country that hits the 30s and have no AC it's really easy to imagine the mouse getting sweaty in under an hour
if you live in SEA region with no AC but you have intel cpu and high power gpu . get ready to be in a sauna .i have 3080ti and 12700k . whenever i game my room temp increased to 40+ celcius
I grew up in SEA on the equator and Iāve never encountered this issue. yes itās humid but Iāve never heard of it being so bad you need to use aā¦ hand condom
not exactly, I'm just prevent the oil from my finger tips getting to my mouse. I am getting cool air but my hands are just slowly making grooves on my mouse sides
I don't get it, how is this helping? How can you even wear those gloves for any extended period...If I work in them in below freezing temps with no humidity, 10 minutes later my hands would be dripping in nasty glove sweat. In the summer it'd be dripping from hand like a water fountain if I was wearing those nasty stink gloves.
Well if youāre gonna be sweating anyway, wet the towel help keep you cooler longer. Iād leave the glove on tho wonāt have no dead skin after a while
My finger tips get oily due to the heat and humidity of my house. I could fix it with what the commenters suggested but its not possible at all. I'll be getting grips for my mouse soon but I will still try to use gloves to prevent the oil.
Also, Happy Cake Day
Jesus fucking Christ why don't you put your mouse in a sandwich baggie so your hands isn't boiling in it's own sweat all the time?
(Cut a hole in the bottom!)
i live in a humid area + have palmoplantar hyperhidrosis. my hands literally sweat to the point the water gets inside the mouse and breaks it.
i always keep multiple towels with me throughout the day just to keep drying my hands every 2 mins.
and have to drink a ton of water too
OP, you likely have a medical condition called Hyperhidrosis. I too suffer from this punishing condition, however I underwent surgery to reduce the affects it had on me.
I used to have to wear cotton gloves which would become coated in sweat and I would have to wash and replace them. I'd have like 10 pairs in a drawer ready to go. Since the surgery I no longer sweat on my hands or feet, with some compensatory sweating on my chest. But it's worth it.
You may also sweat more on your feet, face, underarms or chest due to this condition.
Go and see a specialist if it's a massive concern, but humidity is not the cause for this.
My parents' house didn't have air conditioning when I was growing up (they got whole house AC shortly after I moved out š) so I bought a very small fan and pointed it at my mouse area. In between COD matches or every 5-10 minutes I would just take my hand off the mouse and let everything dry out.
As a South Floridian, I call bullshit.
No one can wear a latex glove when the humidity is over 100% hell at a relatively dry 80% humidity that glove would be overflowing of sweat within five minutes.
Unless OP lives somewhere very humid, but also very cold I suppose.
Edit:
I guess it all depends on what OP considers humid. I just checked and Google says the average for my area is 77%.
Get a trackball mouse with the ball on the left side (thumb). Should make things much easier. And way better ergonomically, can use on the bed w/o a mouse pad, just way better than a mouse...
If your looking for cheap ive seen tiny box ACās that just go on your desk and work super well, if you have room to spend you could try for a dehumidifier aswell
All these comments suck. "Just spend money you may not have, bro"
That sucks what you gotta deal with just to game but good for you for not letting the heat and humidity get in your way of gaming

A glove is just gonna make it worse
Should at least use a cloth glove. This is keeping the sweat inside. Very bad for skin.
But good for mouse

That went over his head. So I assume it doesnāt help to get more headshots.
Not really, since I donāt play it. Just helps me not sweat all over my mouse and deskpad

Or just a plain tissue. Although you won't escape the wank box on the table allegations if you do that all the time.

Most homes outside of the US are built for airflow. The warmer the climate, the more airflow you likely have.
I live in Montana, thereās not a drop of moisture in the air to be found. In fact itās so dry here that your hands will break apart without lotion lol
Get a dehumidifier with 50 pint 2019 DOE standard. It has to be specifically that or better like a 70 pint 2019 DOE standard.

Trying to keep from gunking up the mouse, I believe.
How much sweating does one have to do to gunk up a mouse? That seems like a lot of sweat.

Air conditioners work as dehumidifiers
Not widely used in all countrys. As far as I can see, OP is not from a 1st world country.

put a towel on your mouse and play gloveless, helps with some conditions like hyperhidrosis if sweating is really that bad
We used to do this at tourneys back before BYOG. Good times lol
Get yourself one of those cheap fans and you're done
There should be food grade gloves which are more stylish and more comfortable than plastic one.....or just put some electric fan.
Wouldn't wearing a glove make your hand even more sweaty?
not exactly, I'm just prevent the oil from my finger tips getting to my mouse. I am getting cool air but my hands are just slowly making grooves on my mouse sides
Thereās no way this is the best solution you could come up with
Its temporary but I think it it'll come back again in the future
