QUALITY
- Sturdy lightweight fabric
- Ventilation areas
- Tight, non-obtrusive stitching (except inside the fingertips)
- High quality materials (stainless steel wiring, gold-plated contacts)
THE SOFTWARE
- GloveBox is very intuitive
- Allows you to map almost anything to any finger, even key combos
- Supports 5 keymaps per profile STORED IN THE POD
THE POD
- Customizable LED and backplates
- Magnetic attachment
- “Always on” so no Connect/Disconnect noises or system popups
- (Q: How much storage, can you fit GloveBox in there in future versions?)
THE TOUCH
- Almost no pressure is required, it senses the moment the two points contact
- Touch points can be calibrated to move along the trace wires, and be larger/smaller by choice
THE PERFORMANCE
- Due to thick stitching at the seams along the fingertips, I found it almost impossible to use in conjunction with a keyboard.
- When I was able to remove the keyboard from the equation, it worked like a DREAM.
