Why you need gaming gloves

They say it takes 10,000 hours to master anything. It takes many, many more hours of practice to become a champion.

Your mind is probably quite happy to spend every waking hour defeating rivals, but your body may struggle. Fingers were made for peanut butter and pointing, not relentless button-mashing. This is where the Gaming Gloves can make a big difference.

They kinda look like mountain-biking gloves, and for good reason. They are fingerless apart from the middle finger. Along with your palm, this finger is covered in leather to prevent blisters. It’s the material of choice for Major League Gaming players, providing the perfect balance of support and flexibility.

In addition, the gloves improve the circulation in your hands. Just like Usain Bolt in his joggers, this helps to keep those all-important twitch muscles working at top speed. That said, the gloves have also been designed to prevent sweat build-up.

Finally, there is an optional thumb splint for extra support. You won’t need this for every session, but it comes in useful for marathon hot streaks.

“We’ve designed the coolest gaming glove that finally combines comfort and control.” — IceHawk Gaming on Kickstarter
