Touch the Capacitive screen without removing your Gloves


Here is an exciting one, the you can manufature youself and be proud of.

Winter gloves don’t like our cool gadgets, especially the capacitive touch Screens. Most touchscreens use capacitive sensing to complete a weak electrical circuit through skin and locate our tapping. And while wool, cotton, and leather gloves insulate hands from the cold, they block the body’s ability to shuttle electrons. Strategic stitching with conductive thread, however, can prevent essential electronics from becoming unresponsive bricks the moment you bundle up.




1. Order silver-plated nylon thread (silver conducts electricity). You can find  it with major online retailers.
 

2. Pick a pair of gloves to modify. 


3. Stitch the figure of a star or other solid shape onto the glove’s index finger with the thread, making sure it will contact both the touchscreen and your skin. 


4. Bundle up and tap away. Bingo!! It works as perfect.
