Alright, so I was thinking, I play with mouse, and my wrist suffers from a lot of mousepad-burn from playing.
I can deal with it, but it's often irritating, and I have to use things like lotion and stuff since my skin's weird.

I also see many players, such as Doomsday who live streamed with a cloth under his wrist for his keyboard hand, and before I knew Doomsday among many other players did that, I found myself already using a cloth for my keyboard hand.

Along with that, I find myself with my palm sweaty, and maybe these gloves can prevent the awkward feeling when you have sweat over your mouse, and I bet it would help with tablet players' pens, I do not doubt their fingertips get sweaty, too.

So therefore, I had an idea in which there were finger-less gloves for osu.
Finger-less gloves that are comfortable, like any other finger-less gloves, but are less hand-restrictive.
I understand there are a lot of problems with this:

"Why not just go out and buy your own finger-less gloves?
"What material would best suit even if you had the gloves?"
"People have different sized hands! It'd be impossible."
"How much would it be? It needs to be relatively inexpensive."

I'm absolutely no expert on Hand-wear or anything like that, but I'm sure peppy can figure it out.
I also think, aside from just playing osu, finger-less gloves are nice. Maybe have them different colors with the Osu! logo on the back of the hand.

I also remember ztrot interviewing WubWoofWolf, about better prizes for the OWC and Mechandise like this could probably be a cool alternative, maybe the winners have their screen names on their gloves.

This is just some crazy idea at 2:30 in the Morning. Bare with me.

EDIT:
Too lazy to look through forum posts and see if this was suggested. Not sure if it is or not.
My apologies.

Kinda pointless, but creative. There are also some mouse pad that has a wrist supporter (w/e you call it). So, I don't think it would be necessary.
Yes, the hand size would be a bit of a problem.
I wouldn't push all this on peppy. Its your feature request, so you have to make sure YOU figure it out, not trying to be hostile or anything.

I also see many players, such as Doomsday who live streamed with a cloth under his wrist for his keyboard hand, and before I knew Doomsday among many other players did that, I found myself already using a cloth for my keyboard hand.
Could you be more specific on what happens here? I usually dont get wrist burn, or damage to my arm or hand.

I mean, no burning on the keyboard hand. It's just easier to play when you have support for your wrist on your keyboard hand, for me, at least.
And I've asked a few friends if they use a cloth for their keyboard hands, some of them said yes.

Edit:
And I know I can't push everything on peppy, but I honestly have no idea what hand-wear is like, you know, like the certain materials, different sizes.
I'll guess i'll go research.

Doing more research is important, so yes you should.
There are already some items like what your asking for somewhere on the internet, or at a store. you'd just be asking for them to make a design with the osu! logo on it. I really don't see a point in this. :/

Well, my point was, it being more of a promotional thing, along with it helping with stuff like sweaty palms and wrist burn. (it gets hot during summer, dear god)
Like I said earlier, the interview between ztrot and WWW they wanted more merchandise, so I thought of this.

I'll try and research some material that doesn't lock up your hands, so you can still have the same reaction time with or without them.
Hopefully it goes well.
Thanks for your input.

EDIT: It more about the meaning of them, like them being official and stuff. Like promotional stuff. Less about the actual gloves.

hmmm... mew used a low friction "glove"

SPOILER


"(...) I made it myself. It's just a slippery cloth sewn into a sleeve that goes up to the elbow.

Just find a cloth that slides well on your mousepad and sew it into a sleeve. -mew

I found: http://store.tekserve.com/catalogsearch ... mudgeguard ;their website claims they are slippery, the material is 87% Nylon and 13% Spandex.

I like the idea so I've made initial project of the gloves:


Also, I'd recommend to include turbo boost to the map Kitsune^2 - He Has No Mittens
