The clingparty Finger Sleeves are a simple yet highly effective aftermarket accessory for gamers that will enable them to maintain enhanced control over their gameplay when spending extended periods playing. The mini gloves are designed to be slipped over the thumbs and will immediately go to work keeping fingers free from sweat or moisture. This will prevent the fingers from sticking to the touchscreen and allow for more fluid movement, which could increase the agility of the player.

The clingparty Finger Sleeves are crafted with a specialized material that's breathable, highly stretchable and infused with conductive copper yarn. This allows for fluid movement, wear and touchscreen compatibility to help gamers feel agile enough to play their favorite titles for hours. Suitable for use with almost any Android or iOS game, the sleeves are part of the expanding gamer accessory market as video games continue to increase in popularity.
