Clawsocks (or Finger Sleeves) are not for all gamers, but if you have sweaty fingers, or if you’re a serious gamer, clawsocks are game-changing. My main game is Lords Mobile and so I don’t really need clawsocks for that. PUBG, though, could definitely use a finger sleeve as sweating is pretty much mandatory.
In this article, I’ll go through the top 5 clawsocks that I believe are at the top of their game!
What is a Clawsock or Finger Sleeve?
Clawsocks are the best way to keep hands from sweating while gaming. Or, to rephrase, the best way to keep the sweat off of your device while you’re gaming. It’s effective for the serious gamers that need it, and a complete waste of space for those who don’t.
1. MGC ClawSocks
The MGC ClawSocks are my favorite option. Yes, I said it. You can still look at the other options, but between the price and specs, this is the best option.
The ClawSocks finger sleeves are thin and breathable. They slip over your thumbs and fingers to improve touchscreen control. According to the product description, the sleeves are made with a high-density carbon-fiber (or conductive silver-thread) weave. This helps reduce friction, “drag lag,” and sensitivity issues that can mess up your swipes and taps. The design is described as thin yet durable, and breathable enough to help combat sweat, dirt, or oil buildup during intense gaming sessions.
There is really not much else to talk about. It’s a bloody gaming clawsock.
2. Zonon Clawsocks
The Zonon ClawSocks is cheaper than the MGC and so that’s a good reason to buy it. But regarding the quality and appearance, it has what to be desired. For an extra few dollars, I think the first option is far better.
Regarding user reviews, they’re both hovering at 4.3/5 and for gamers (who love to complain all day) that’s a great score.
In other words, I really don’t care which one you get. They’re basically the same. But the first one is better, because I said so!
3. Sinrella Gaming Clawsocks
The Sinrella gaming clawsock is also a very simple finger sleeve. The design is garbage. In fact is actually looks like a garbage back with the red circle at the ends.
Like the previous two options, the Sinrella has great reviews online. It seems like people are overwhelming happy with it.
The price is more affordable than the MGC, and so like option #2, if you’re on a budget and don’t mind your finger looking like trash-cans, then this is the finger sleeve for you.
4. RinsFox Clawsocks
The Rinsfox clawsocks (finger sleeves) probably look the best from the group, but they’re more expensive and so I don’t know if the looks match the price.
The online reviews are also slightly more generous than the other clawsocks, but all of the companies on this list all have solid reviews, and so its negliable.
Honestly, if you want to pay a few extra dollars for a good looking design, then this is a better option.
5. Genda Gaming Clawsocks
The GENDA Finger Sleeves are also a great option. They work. Reviews are great. No reason not to get it, and they’re in the same pricing bracket as the more affordable options.
The design isn’t great and so they’re at the bottom of the list. But like the options above, they’re work, and they’ll keep the sweat off your screen.
Final Thoughts on Clawsocks
ClawSocks help address real problems that some mobile gamers face: sweaty or oily fingers that mess up touchscreen control. Most of the options are carbon-fiber weave and along with anti-slip design they really do reduce friction and help keep touch response smooth and consistent.
That said, the advantages are probably marginal unless you really need them and you’re sweating buckets.
Additionally, some online users report that the finger sleeves reduce tactile feedback and make touches feel less natural, which kind of defeats the entire purpose of wearing them…
