Ironclad PC Gaming Gloves, Precision Fit, Performance Silicone Grip, Moisture Wicking Construction, 1 Pair, ES-IPC-04-L, Black/Yellow, Large

. The first time I purchased a pair of these gloves was for a Medium pair. I figured I would try the size below suggestion they mentioned for a “snug” fit. When I received the gloves I excitedly tried them on for size. Turns out the Medium par is just a little too tight after a long session and the padding and slick padding are both just too short on the wrist to be 100% effective against mouse burn and callusing. I returned the item as I really wanted them and believed a large pair would fit better also perform better.After the refund was approved I purchased the Large which was out of stock at the time which I did not mind so I waited. Made the order on Jan 19th, I received the “Large” pair today on feb 12th. Only this time the box clearly is labeled “Large” however the gloves on the inside were actually another Medium pair. On top of the fact that the seller sent a packaged item with the wrong packaged item inside the gloves appeared used. As if washed once before. Threads on the glove seemed frayed from an apparent wear and tear. I am sure what was sent to me this time was a “used” pair of the wrong size gloves improperly packaged and sold at a “new” price. I am after this review probably going to keep my refund and move on from these gloves as I am not willing to wait even longer for a “used” ‘new’ pair of “Large” ‘Medium’ gloves.

. I purchased these because I frequently have issues with hand fatigue while working at the PC both gaming, at work and while using an art-pad. The compression that the gloves offer stops achy-ness and the built in padding on the keyboard hand is just the right thickness to give you some wrist support. The smooth part on the mouse hand is, unfortunately, textured so that it’s less effective if you use a full-desk mousepad (it almost feels like the texture is catching on the pad fibers) The fit is true to measurements but a word of advice. If you have thick hands getting them past the straps can be a hassle. I have to completely detach the straps to fit the band over my hand each time I put them on, a fact made harder because the straps bell out specifically to stop the strap from completely disconnecting. Overall I would say 4 Out of 5 because issues aside I definitely prefer wearing them while working to not and they almost completely stop hand fatigue. And they’re even better when using an art pad than when using the keyboard and mouse.

. Man. I am sad to say that these are not well designed for serious gaming on soft cloth, gaming mouse pads.I play Apex Legends quite a bit and these were meant to help me with a couple of things.I’ve too much weight strain on my keyboard hand after hours of play and also in need of moisture absorption for both hands, particularly my mouse wielding hand.So, the keyboard glove…in all honesty is okay. It’s not great. But it’s okay.What would have made them great is if the strap actually traveled up to the wrist so I can tighten it around that area to provide a bit of compression and support. I do appreciate the palm padding (they call it the wrist pad, but in reality, its located around your palm). It does help after hours of grinding where my left arm begins to weigh down my hand a bit.But here’s the real problem. The mouse glove…It has these tiny cool looking little ceramic patterns. Unfortunately, these patterns are a big no no for smooth gliding on a typical clothe gaming mouse pad.The patterns have multiple sharp edges in them that catch the tiniest mouse pad fibers and thus actually provide more friction than a sweaty palm. :(In time, this glove would also destroy your mouse pad surface if you continued to use it.What I would have done, is to propose a better and simpler designed pattern of these little tiles.Instead of jagged edged complicated patterns, I would have instead gone with simple circular droplets all around that area. Nothing complex. Just perfect little smooth, semi rounded dots of ceramic tiles.This would help allow this glove to glide smoothly over a soft gaming mouse pad.I’m befuddled by this design approach with the tiny and unnecessarily complicated ceramic patterns with sharp edges. Yes, they look cool, but they’re also not very functional. Circular droplets is the way to go here. Or perhaps try using a different fabric that is friendly and slick over soft gaming mouse pads. They’d have to also take into account the moisture that builds up over time.I hope Ironclad continues to work with their design and bring a better product to the plate in the future. I’d be happy to try them out.But these current ones just won’t work. I mean… I guess I can still rock the keyboard glove. But I really would like to have my mouse glove to help with the moisture. (palm sweat)Because of this, I was very close to returning them. But, what I will do instead, since I do plan to buy a hard surface mouse pad soon, I will hold onto them as I believe they will work fine on slick plastic surfaces. The mouse glove does glide nicely over my wood finish table top. But I need a pad for max tracking. So. We’ll see how it fares then.I’m sorry to Ironclad for the 2 star, but I feel I have to grab your attention here and hope you’ll consider my suggestions or take my experience into account and help better your product in the future.The gloves feel great after a day of usage. But they’re just not fully usable right now. Not on my soft gaming mouse pad at least.I will update my review score once I apply a hard surface mouse pad, as I think it will work well with it (hopefully). But please make note of this factor. I didn’t see any information about this anywhere around your product’s description. Otherwise I would have thought twice of purchasing them.

. Those gloves have some great ideas but the implement could definitely use some work. The keyboard hand is pretty good and definitely improves the pressure on your wrist. The mouse hand seems to be designed for only one specific type of grip and the slide zones do not extend up far enough on the inner palm causing wear to occur on the fabric. This seems like a strange oversight.Overall, I like these gloves, but definitely temper your expectations.

. I love how the sides are different for each hand. Padded for the keyboard (though my keyboard has a padded rest already) and made to glide on the mouse pad. Definitely measure your hand. I figured, as I’m a big boy, that I’d need a larger glove, and was full of doubt after I measured and it said I’d want a medium, but it’s a perfect fit.I have two complaints, one of which may be unfounded, I haven’t had them long enough to be sure.First, they don’t feel durable. The palm part feels like it’ll wear down or tear too easily. In their defence, they may hold up way better than I feel like they will.My biggest complaint though is the seam from the wrist to the thumb hole. I don’t know why, but the material there is scratchy. Worse on the left hand than the right, but both have it. Feels like there’s a tag or something constantly and is itchy.Besides that I really do like these though.Edit: The scratchy bit must have smoothed out or worn off, as I no longer have that issue. They’re still holding up really well. I honestly won’t get to truly test the durability till it warms up and my hyperhidrosis gets to go wild again. (Sweaty hands, the worst) But I do still, even when cold, have sweaty hands issues, so they’re doing well so far.Also helps that my sweaty palms are covered.Further edit: shortly after I said the scratchy stopped, I noticed it again. It’s definitely not as bad as at first though.I’ve washed them since initially reviewing and they held up way better than I thought they would. Hands have been in overdrive with sweating. It really is nice having my palms covered. I’ve been using them with my switch as well, and am considering their console gaming gloves for that reason. (These are a bit clunky for holding my hands the way I do with a controller or switch, and having my fingertips covered as well would keep my sweaty fingers from slipping. I just wish there were color options.

. THE BAD:After wearing the gloves one time I noticed the velcro strap stitching on the left glove had seperated from the stitching meant to hold it in place (see photo).THE GOOD:I was able to fix the stitching using fabric glue. After using the gloves a few hours I have grown to love them. Initially, my dexterity and tactile sensation was thrown way off. It did not take long to become acustomed to the difference.The gloves solve my two issues gaming. Sweaty hands (although my fingertips still sweat) and more importantly, very cold hands.

. Since i work full time from home and also i play a lot of video games to relax my hands always hurt a lot in the end of the day, since i’ve gotten these gloves that pain stopped, they’re very durable as well, 2 years and counting, still feeling as good as the first day they arrived.
