Mindovermaster Global Moderator Posted November 5 Global Moderator Share Posted November 5 In a lot of YT professional computer builds, I see the builder using gloves. They look like fabric, so they aren't medical gloves. What exactly are they called? "Computer Gloves" or? I see Amazon has like 30 different companies. What are the best brands and not just knock-offs? Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/1448506-computer-gloves/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan~ Posted November 5 Share Posted November 5 I haven’t watched building videos in years but have a search for “anti static gloves” or even “lint free gloves” Most likely the former I’d imagine garwin 1 Share Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/1448506-computer-gloves/#findComment-598944024 Share on other sites More sharing options...
neufuse Veteran Posted November 5 Veteran Share Posted November 5 I've never seen a video with fabric looking ones, they are usually just black nitrate ones, and there really isn't a point to them besides getting your hands dirty. They are not antistatic garwin 1 Share Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/1448506-computer-gloves/#findComment-598944051 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dick Montage Posted November 5 Share Posted November 5 Yeah white fabric, and I believe they are lint free Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/1448506-computer-gloves/#findComment-598944068 Share on other sites More sharing options...

LaP Posted November 5 Share Posted November 5 Don't see the point of those. Using gloves to manipulate fragile things is very rarely recommended as you lose a part of the touch feeling and might apply too much pressure. Just touch some metal to remove any static electricity before manipulating components and don't stand on carpet while building the computer and you'll be fine. garwin 1 Share Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/1448506-computer-gloves/#findComment-598944109 Share on other sites More sharing options...

SuperHands Posted November 6 Share Posted November 6 They're just cotton gloves, and are just for nonsense aesthetic reasons for youtube. They don't offer any benefit and as already mentioned actually hinder pc building somewhat. Just seems to be a bit of a glove thing going on with youtube in recent years. Like the black nitrile glove thing in cooking videos, everyone's at it these days.
