Razer is known mostly for its high-end gaming devices, but it also has a diverse collection of accessories. It just launched a very weird one for mobile, the Gaming Finger Sleeve. It’s designed to absorb sweat and thus reduce friction on the screen to help you max out performance when playing mobile games.

The sleeves, which can go on your thumbs or forefingers, are woven from nylon, spandex and conductive silver fibers, meaning they’ll work with most mobile devices. It also helps them to absorb sweat while allowing your fingers to breathe, keeping them relatively cool and dry. They’re pretty thin at 0.8 mm (and hand washable), so they should still give you some sense of touch.

The Gaming Finger Sleeve could be genuinely useful for some folks, silly as it seems. It could also be a big help in particularly hot or humid environments. It’s now available for US$10.

Razer has also teamed up with a company called Clearbot to create small solar-powered boats used to clean up trash found in the ocean. The Clearbots use AI and a camera to detect garbage in the water and then picks it up with a conveyor belt. It’s always a pleasant surprise to see tech companies stepping outside of their expertise to help out the environment in any way they can.(SD-Agencies)
