Heated fingerless gloves for keyboard use
(lemmy.nz)
Looking for electrically heated fingerless gloves for office use. I have chronically cold fingers, and so the intent is just to maintain a bit more dexterity on a keyboard etc. Battery isn't a strict requirement, although that would open up more use cases. I know there are stationary USB-powered models as well. (I suppose nothing prevents using an external power bank on the go)
There isn't exactly shortage of options but a lot of them are just cheap cotton gloves with like one wire stuffed in there, so I'm here trying to fish for the better quality options.
Look for heated motorcycle glove liners.
I had some years ago - the wiring is a fine mesh around the hand/fingers, usually on the outside of the glove material (or sandwiched between layers).
The mesh stops mid-finger, so you could just cut the tips off, or maybe they make them without tips today
As for your battery concern - so long as the battery matches the voltage requirement, it's then just a matter of making the connector match, which is trivial.
Thanks for the idea! Yeah I've run into quite a few motorcycle gloves already. Some finger trimming would seem to be required still.
Yeah I actually discovered that pretty much all the manufacturers use the same Chinese battery pack. I'm just gonna order a couple more of those.
