Programming Gloves?
Hey everyone, winter is coming to us northern coders again. I was wondering if anyone actually used gloves while programming and if you had any purchasing suggestions? Appreciate it! Thanks.
This came up sometime ago but from a different approach -- "heating pad for desk." Amazon has a bunch of them and they all seem to work pretty much the same way.
Also maybe consider USB-powered heating gloves. You might also check forums for those with Reynauld's syndrome, they would probably have some good suggestions.
Never seen gloves, but I know devs who have bought portable space heaters and placed them either on their desk or below it.
I bought some USB powered gloves years ago... the wire melted after 1 day. So if you're going to buy one of these, better make sure they're solid... not gonna lie, the ones I got were on the cheaper side.
Buy a cheap pair and cut off the fingertips.
I had to adjust my typing position a bit, so that my hand isn't so vertically close to the keyboard.
I later bought some much cheaper gloves from Temu. They seem almost the same as the Ergo gloves except for the quality of stitching. The quality of stitching doesn't seem to matter.

You might be able to find fingerless wool gloves at a bike shop.
They need to be low profile as opposed to the convertible mittens that flip up to expose fingers, for example.
I think most body heat is lost from feet and head so would personally focus more on keeping them warm
