I've tried many different grips and they still all result in my losing grip of the pen eventually :/Gumpyyy wrote:

Try turning a fan or some A/C on, you shouldn't be sweating if your room's cold.

I know this is meant as a joke, but playing with mouse when you have sweaty palms is hell. I've been having this problem for a week now and I'm forced to stop and wipe my hands during breaks. Otherwise I lose my grip.-LeeP- wrote:

That's very sad. :CKaienyuu wrote:

Yeah, you probably have hyperhidrosis. I do too, and it sucks
(EDIT: just for clarification, yeah, it's genetic. So it's not like we can do anything about it)
There is, however, treatment available. I've been taking oxybutynin for the past few months and for the first time after I started I was able to walk barefoot and write on a piece of paper without wetting it (huge bump in quality of life etc. etc.)
Bottom line is go see your doctor! I know it isn't gonna get any better if you wash your hands or play holding paper, though I found that playing with a towel on my lap turned out to be very useful.

Perhaps also dehydrate yourself so much your body doesn't have the resources to sweat
Whenever I have sweaty hands I ignore them.

What if you used deodorant on your hands?
deodorants dont prevent sweating.
rubbing a strong antiperspirant on your palm might work, give it a shot. - dr phil

I thiught deodorants had anti persperents by default.
Yeah, some of them do. Aluminium salts play that role, but in that intensity, you need a whole lot more than what you can get in a "normal" deodorant (if there's even any antiperspirant in it). There are some other options with high(er) concentrations of antiperspirants, but they're not as common - contact dermatitis, for instance, is commonly caused by these.Kheldragar wrote:

some stick deodorants might have a very small amount of it but if sweating is a serious issue to you it really isnt enough to prevent anything.
sprays have no sweat preventing qualities whatsoever for obvious reasons (its scented air)

I've thought about doing this before but I wasn't sure if it was big enough of an issue. I just tried wrapping a paper towel around my pen and it helped drastically. Although it got soaked after an hour of playing I fell like this was the solution I was looking for. I'll bring it up next time I go see the doctors though, so thanks for the suggestion.bigfeh wrote:

This goes beyond osu!. It was, for me, a huge improvement to overall life quality. But in the mean time, a paper towel might be able to help - make sure to play with an actual towel too, as that helps a lot.Cyan Yoshi wrote:

maybe you can get something permanent to put on your pen that will not be affected by sweat. For example you could wrap some sort of cloth around the pen
If your problem is your palms sweating, blowing it with a fan probably isn't going to help much.
Personally, I'd recommend simply doing what Bauxe / Rika have suggested, and putting a cloth over your pen whilst using it.
Granted, it will be more work to clean the cloth every now and then, and may slightly affect your aim, but will probably be most effective in solidifying your grip on your tablet pen

i remember when i saw this thread like a year ago i was like wtf but now i have the same problem
Those of you who are suggesting deodorant, just get an anti-antiperspirant hand lotion. I bought one to try that arrived today, and uh, my consistency is out of control. We slip free now, bois
Edit: Just got my second best play ever
Double edit: And another top 5 play. This is great
