Any recommendations for the sweaty handed gamer?

[orangebeaver45]

Hello I have some sort of chronic sweat disorder in my hands or something.  If I play csgo for a good while the smooth dryness of my hand and mouse goes chicken grease status sweaty.  Do you have anything that you would recommend for me other than gamer grip because its a little expensive for me.  Thanks in advance!

Just get an old fan to blow air near your hand? doesn't really work if you palm your mouse maybe if you claw it. That could be a downside too having cold hands is far worse than sweaty imo especially when playing CS

I rub 91% isopropyl alcohol between my hands before I play the game, which gets my hands dry enough to be bearable to play the game. When my hand is still wet I rub a little on the mouse. I have the same problem as you!

I usually bathe myself in it, gets a little difficult though towards the end of the game when the alcohol kicks in

I have had to try really hard to not insert a sarcastic comment here! 

 

Erm I would think about getting a non smooth mouse, something that will allow air (although slight) beneath your hands - also stay corded, batteries/electronics of wireless will add heat. 

 

As a side note do you get twitchy/angry when playing? PVP in wow could get me angry and twitchy lol

You could try one of those crazy RAT mouses, they're pretty big and have a few air gaps.

Well.. I asked what mouse you have (which you never responded)  and you have the DA Chroma, that mouse has light plastic material so it does build sweat.. 

So yeah its your hands, which do some of the things other people recommended but its also the material of the mouse that is impacting your sweat experience.

 

If you ever do buy a new mouse, buy a rubber matte plastic shell instead of a glossy/plastic shell.

I've got the Corsair M65 and it works pretty well. There's a grippy texture on the sides kind of like really mild sandpaper as well as there are little notches on the side of the top that you can press your finger into to hold the mouse exactly where you want it.

dry hot air?

Phase-change cool your mouse so that your hand can't get sweaty...

Just have a towel beside you. Wipe hands when needed. Accomplished.

Shouldn't there always be a towel?

That also depends on what kind of wife you have.

Tissue paper is easier to clean up. And softer.

exfoliate your hands
