Cough Drop The Beat: Jan 22, 2012; by Lowtax

I don't wear gloves, OP. I just smoke weed while posting.

Cubone: May 26, 2011; Because it never leaves its bedroom, no one has ever seen this poster's real face.

can't believe none of you have been fitted for a posting claw

laugh all you want, but we've finally gotten to a point where a lot of pros are making the switch, and with good reason

more consistent taps
greater flexibility/dynamics
more forceful contact (soft fingertips == absorb force == low elasticity)
most importantly: opens up space on your hands to combine with wrist braces (that's a Sanhori Real Poster 2 Pro in the photo, but I'm just showing off- I use a pair of Obsidian Ultras for my daily)

some people say the posting claw actually limits mobility in cross-ups, but it's not the sticking point they want you think it is. it's only a thing because haters and posters who are out of their prime and resistant to change want to make a thing. first of all, think about how often you even need do cross-ups. second, your muscle memory will adjust with practice in 2-3 weeks. once you're used to it, the posting claw nets objectively better performance overall, period.

Why would you ever travel back in time if the future is that cool? :staredog:

Obsidianheart: Apr 26, 2017; Throwing off the shadow of a better man.

I used to use those Kruginsu novelty posting gloves with the 4-inch plastic protrusions from the fingertips, but I wound up snapping them all off in a particularly shameful flamewar on a Microsoft Communities Message board.
Then I was using some KnuckleDuster Pros with the springs that would pull your finger back to straight after a keypress, but I had to stop when I broke a spring and my ex's cat wouldn't stop batting at the dangling metal.
After that, I tried out some of those Tawagoto brand gloves from Japan, y'know, the ones with the little bubblewrap bubbles over the fingertips? But they smelled weird and all my posts came out pretty awful.
I'm ashamed to admit I barebacked for a little while after that, but then I got a nasty fungal infection under one of my nails and freaked out.
Now I use those Sharper Image brand Telekawhatsit finger lasers and projected keyboard, but I'm really tempted by the Mindnet head-fixture thing that's supposed to let you type with your brain.

Yes, until someone volunteers to help you unload the dishwasher.

Peasants, all of you. I hire only the most advanced vagrant to read out my posts, and post what I say. When one of them is weary and old, they are replaced. I say, it is a rather excellent method of posting, and not the least bit wasteful for society. Unlike you plebian glove-wearing poppycocks, my hands will remain supple and soft forever, rather than knarly and calloused.

Now, I must direct dear Egbert to another thread in "GBS", before this grows droll and unamusing.

Ta-ta!

Speleothing: May 6, 2008; Spare batteries are pretty key.

I've got a pair of fingerless silk-blends with a reinforced pinky that I keep in my car for phoneposting at work, just some no-name chinese knockoffs that I don't mind losing.

My favorites are a pair of half-backs with kangaroo leather palm and fully capped thumbs. USB active cooling for when I'm at home on the big rig, but I usually don't need it. They're from PostUSA's European lineup, got them on vacation two years ago.

I've also got some old Hatomachi and Declan pairs from back in undegrad. Gimmicky and flashy, but I hate to throw out things that aren't broken. Never know when guests might come over.
