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.
• Recommended for:
  • Click-based RPGs like Diablo, Titan’s Quest and Torchlight
  • Any MMOG that allows for mouse-based movement (STO, WoW, etc.)
  • Strategy games like Civilization, StarCraft, etc.
  • Creative software like AutoCAD, Maya, Photoshop, Final Cut, etc.
• NOT Recommended for:
  • FPS style games, including some first-person RPGs (Fallout, e.g.)
  • Any game that relies on WASD-based movement.
  • Anyone that relies on typing while in game

THE PRICE

• US$149.95
