got curious when I realized my bandaid was somehow touchscreen compatible, despite seemingly just being a piece of cloth. nitrile gloves work (7mil thick), and I’ve even got relatively thick work gloves that work.

    see that would bake sense but isn’t nitrile non conductive? its like rubber

    and like cloth? defiantly not conductive. unless its just thin enough? definetly not the case with those work gloves. also different nitrile gloves, those are normally non touchscreen, and you need special ones that are.

      It may have small fibers of something that is conductive.

      For example have some work gloves that aren’t capacitive? Sew an X pattern into it with capacitive thread and you’ll be good to go.

      As for nitrile gloves if the material is thin enough it won’t impede the capacitance sensing too much and they’ll be usable.
