Using gloves

Post by empella »

I read some place in the description about some gloves which was suitable for use with the screen on a Dash. Is there an update on that?

I've tried a bunch of different gloves that support touchscreen use, particularly on the bike, though, I find that none of the gloves that have built-in touchscreen support are gloves that I like for cycling (not enough padding in the right places). These little add-on devices are *ideal*: http://www.quirky.com/products/37-Digit ... Glove-Pins the touch is very natural, it's easy to ensure that you are touching the part of the screen you intend to, and you can convert just about *any* glove to a glove that supports a touchscreen. The only limitation I've found is that they don't work well with very thick gloves because you can't get enough of the post to come through the glove to screw onto the conductive silicon touch pad.

Hi

do a search on ebay for conductive tread and sow some in the tip of the glove but make sure you can feel it on your finger tip that you use on the ibike dash and iphone screen, i find it works ok but works even better if damp then you can flick the screens around.

best of all its just over a £1 in cost!!
