iGesture and Sweaty Fingers

Posted on August 4, 2005May 4, 2017

I often speak fondly of my iGesture Touchpad (it replaces a regular mouse), but today it’s hot and muggy in the house, and I may have found the first downside to it.  If your fingers are damp, the pointer gets a little jumpy.  I’ve noticed it before after taking a drink from a glass with beads of condensation on the outside, but then it’s easy enough to wipe your hand off.  Right now, it’s humid and 90-something in my office, and I don’t have any AC (hey, it’s the Seattle area–we don’t get many hot days), so it’s hard to keep my hands totally dry.  The iGesture isn’t unusable or anything like that; it’s just an interesting little quirk.  I think I’ll take this as a sign that it’s time to give up working until it cools off in here.

You can read my iGesture review from  a few months ago if you’re wondering what the heck product I’m talking about.  With FingerWorks out of business, I’m not sure if they’re still available though.
