Computer Gloves


Recommended Posts

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?

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

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.

Those are just for on camera appearance, no real use for them besides hiding what your hands look like on camera

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.
