Thanko has launched the "Gaming Gauntlet Heater," a USB heated glove designed to combat cold hands during winter desk work, PC gaming, and musical instrument practice. It is priced at 3,480 yen.
A key feature of this product is its design, which focuses on warming the back of the hand and wrist without covering the palm. This ensures that it doesn't hinder keyboard typing, mouse gripping, or the delicate touch required for musical instrument playing, providing a near bare-hand feel for easy operation. The temperature can be adjusted in three levels, and its stretchy material ensures a comfortable fit for both men and women.

Furthermore, it is USB-powered, and the cable features an L-shaped connector for easy handling. Its main selling point is its ability to maintain work efficiency and comfort during play, addressing the common winter problem of "numb fingertips that are difficult to move." It can also be utilized for a wide range of winter hand tasks, such as smartphone gaming and intricate DIY projects.
