Razer Wants to Sell you Handless Gloves for Superior Mobile Gaming
“Designed for mobile gaming, the Razer Gaming Finger Sleeve is made of a “high-sensitivity silver fiber for enhanced aim and control,” according to the product listing. For $10, you’ll get a pair of these nonslip finger sheathes.
The idea is that you put on these thumb sweaters to keep them cool and dry. This reduces the likelihood of them slipping off the touchscreen during gameplay. Finger sleeves for mobile gaming aren’t new—pro players have been using finger sleeves for competitions for a while, and some even sell their own.”
At first, we were frazzled by this idea, but the more we thought about it, the more it made sense. If you’re gaming on your mobile for hours, chances are your fingers are going to get sweaty so this is the perfect solution! The mobile gaming market is actually estimated to be worth $15.1 billion so the finger sleeves will be a hit!

New Wipeout Game is for Mobile Phones, not PlayStation
“A new game in the Wipeout series is coming, not to PlayStation 4 or PlayStation 5, but to mobile phones.
Wipeout Rush will feature “unique card-based racing” and a “new comic book-inspired narrative,” according to the game’s debut trailer and a statement to IGN from Rogue CEO Matt Casamassina. The game’s official website describes Wipeout Rush as a “marriage of merge, idle, and card collection to influence races.” Combined with the hands-off racing shown in the debut trailer, it doesn’t appear that players will be white-knuckle racing at hundreds of kilometers per hour, but rather managing a team and upgrading ships to win races.”
Wipeout Rush sounds like it’s right up our street! We can’t wait to review it for you to Casual App Gamers.
