Sweaty hands while gaming: dry palms on controller, mouse and keyboard
Most gamers know the feeling of clammy hands on a controller, keyboard or mouse. Gamer Grip started here in 2011. It keeps your palms dry for up to 4 hours of play, and it’s safe for your gear.
Why your hands sweat when you game
Close matches, ranked games and boss fights are stressful, and stress makes palms sweat. Add a warm room and a long session, and your hands get clammy on the controller, the mouse slides under your palm, and your fingers slip on the keys. You notice it most when it matters most.
What doesn’t fix it
- Gaming gloves and finger sleeves. They put material between you and your gear, so nothing feels quite right.
- Grip tape and controller skins. They add texture to the controller. Your palms still sweat.
- Wiping your hands on your jeans. It works until the next round starts.
How Gamer Grip works
Gamer Grip forms a moisture barrier between your skin and your gear and blocks sweat at the source. It dries clear and non-sticky, so it won’t leave residue on controllers, keyboards, mice or clothes.
One application keeps your palms dry for up to 4 hours of play. Gamer Grip was designed for gaming, and it’s been on gamers’ desks since 2011.
How to use it
- Wash and dry your hands before you sit down.
- Shake the tube and apply a pea-sized drop.
- Rub your palms together for about 15 seconds, until dry.
- For long sessions, reapply after about 4 hours with clean, dry hands.
