Startup GamerTech has unveiled its Magma Glove, a self-heating, fingertip-less compression glove design aimed squarely at eSports professionals and other competitive gamers, as noticed by Notebookcheck. The design was made in collaboration with eSports team Oxygen eSports, a well-established eSports organization whose players primarily specialize in FPS titles like Valorant, Call of Duty, and more. But could a pair of gloves really make such a big difference?
While eSports is a much larger industry today than it was in the golden era of CS:S, the old tenets of comfort and consistency being the top priority for competitive players remain true today. FPS Coach and former top Counter-Strike player Ron Rambo Kim once released a seminal 27-minute video teaching mouse aim. And one of his most important points relates to having always-consistent forearm placement between sessions. The smallest differences can and do matter when playing high-dexterity competitive games, even outside of the FPS genre.
