Razer Launches, Uhm, Finger Sleeves, for Touchscreen Control

TheLostSwede · Sep 15, 2021

If you're a mobile gamer, then Razer might have a product for you, especially if you have problems with greasy marks on your screen, or sweaty fingers. Razer's new gaming Finger Sleeves are here to save your mobile device from grease smudges and sweaty fingers, while at the same time promising to improve your gaming, of course.

The finger sleeves are made from a "smooth, high-sensitivity fabric" that has conductive silver fibers woven into it to enhance touch sensitivity and response, while reducing friction. It all sounds like a bit of a gimmick to say the least, as further down on its product page, Razer mentions nylon and spandex, so it looks like the finger sleeves are yoga pants for your fingers.

The 0.8 mm breathable material is said to be sweat-absorbent, although it also seems like wearing these finger ~~condoms~~ sleeves would make your fingers hotter and you'd sweat more. It all might seem like a poorly timed April Fools joke, but you can get the finger sleeves from Razer's shop right now, for a not insignificant US$9.99 a piece or possibly per pair.

Make the "Uhm" small letter maybe? Sounds like the name of the product.

I like using thumb socks as a way to help me cope with my pretty severe thumb picking. I do it without even realizing it, but supposedly it could be tied to my anxiety. I'd definitely get a pair of these.

I'm a thumb picker, and have anxiety/ptsd.

But these, uhm not sure if they daft or not.

Maybe useful if you have perpetually greasy skin like me, but I am fine with my phone being greasy. Just need to wipe after use.

Not sure why they made finger condoms instead of a full breathable glove :slap:

Uhm ultra thin finger wool.

ZoneDymo · Sep 15, 2021

thumb condom, for the ultimate gamurz

Fungi · Sep 15, 2021

These are actually really useful for games that demand lots of swiping, but this price for a pair (I think, it doesn't actually say anywhere) is too expensive. The silver rusts? over time and they need to be replaced periodically.

@TheLostSwede I like your no-nonsense approach to these articles. But now I can't reply with anything witty to say about these things

Thanks, I guess

Maybe scientology patented those already

I'm gunna use this for sex.

Ferd · Sep 15, 2021

Got these two years ago ,I guess they are Razers now

using these feels like touching a cheap phone screen glass protector, but I think in summer they can be useful, you’ll probably need to buy a lot , they don’t last too long

Well, it is supposed to raise the sensitivity, so that might actually be a brilliant idea...

As with ALL Razer products, I will wait for the Razer Chroma™ RGB models

Just noticed this in the "tech spec". It seems like they can be a bit "loose".

2.1 cm x 4.5 cm (+/- 1 cm)

These should be marketed to the nylon, lycra cyclist mob with their ability to reduce friction.

TheoneandonlyMrK · Sep 15, 2021

Waha ha Razer wtaf we have shit pink versions of these at work for Clean assembly work, and I haven't felt the need to Borrow any from work to save my phone's virtue yet.
Good luck selling this tat.

I can relate, I used to bite the skin off mine a decade ago.

Moisturiser is the solution - once everything's healed up there's nothing to pick at if the skin isn't dry and damaged in the first place and after a couple of years like that the subconscious habit vanished for me entirely.

Finger condoms are easier to lose, so Razer can get repeat business that way.
