These are a life saver! My mum is an office worker who has cold fingers and this is a blessing for her work, and helps her stay warm during winter days. Couldn't recommend enough!

These gloves are fantastic - fast and free shipping to Australia, comfortable, able to touch type on a laptop and mechanical keyboard without feeling restricted and no issues using a touchscreen. Gently snug and help protect from the pain of chilblains.

First of all, on the service part, it is definitely a 5-star plus service. I made a mistake with my initial order and, without requesting it, I received a new pair, which fit me much, much better.

That said, I'm not getting what I expected from the gloves. On the plus side, they are very comfortable. I can use them with my phone and with any touchscreen.

I do have a bit of a problem with the edge of a phone when I'm trying to move windows, slide windows up; it doesn't always work, but I will blame that on my screen and on one of the comments I will make a bit later.

The non-slip palms work very well. When I work with them, I don't feel as constrained as when I used to work with winter gloves. I did what many people do: I bought winter gloves, cut little holes in them, and used those to work, but it didn't always do what I wanted.

One thing I have found is that the tips of my fingers continue to be cold, and I'm not really sure how to fix that. The writer's glove did not fix it. Working with wool or polyester gloves does not work either. However, when I put on those knitted gloves, my hand overall feels warmer.

I'm not sure if it's because I don't put the gloves on systematically when I'm at my keyboard, so my hands have time to get cold and then they can't warm up once I put the gloves on.

The real test will come this fall and this winter. In the winter time, my hands usually turn white because they become so cold in my office. We'll see this winter, when I have the gloves on, if that is still the case. If not, then they will have fixed the biggest problem I have during cold weather.

Very nice product.

These are by far the best gloves available anywhere for a particular purpose: needing to wear gloves without the downsides of wearing gloves. My dexterity, touchscreen ability, and even sense of touch are majorly unaffected (I'm one of the few who feels out the F & J bumps on a keyboard, and I'm perfectly able to wearing these). They're thin enough they also don't overheat when it's not cold out, wicking away sweat better than any gloves I've used. I feel no need to take these off for regular tasks at all. While acting like bare hands, nothing I touch gets fingerprints, my skin is decently protected, and you can't see an inch of it underneath.

I highly recommend these for not only typing, but a variety of theatric and technical hobbies you'd want coverage without losing function. Cosplay, theater, magic tricks, anonymity in hand videos, 3d printing (for skin oils), and Maimai, just to name a few. These are the closest real life thing to cartoon unobtainium gloves that mystically seem not to get in the way any of the time. I've been looking a long time for gloves like these, and I'm very glad to say I've found them. I know a lot of people are, too, which is why I'm leaving this review.

And for anyone who has doubts they can be used to type quickly on shallow keyboards, or with strange typing styles, like I did, I've attached a video of myself using them after almost no adjustment.
