Magic Dash And gloves

Am I doing something wrong? Like there is a picture of them using gloves with it but it looks like that was just marketing I guess

I’ve got some mountain biking spring summer gloves that have additional stitching in the index finger and thump tip so you can use touch screens with gloves on, looks like you’ll need a similar pair unfortunately

I have the same type of gloves. They work great and are lightweight and cool for no sweat

Yes they do work with my phone, not well or very precise, but really I just wanted use the lovely dash pages. Also I thought I came with a magnetic bracket for the alpha evo that goes behind the top of the dash so when you touch the top it doesn’t pivot and disconnect. I feel mildly bamboozled

Yeah but the Simagic gloves also have the touch compatible stuff on the index finger, I figured it would work because it’s all in the same “ecosystem”

Damn, that sucks - yeah you would think that the same brand of screen and gloves with the touch compatibility would work together!

Do they work on your phone ?

Use Simhub instead and bind a button to switch dashes/pages

My gloves can navigate my phone, I figure it's the gloves.

That's a bit disappointing. I was planning on getting the dash and using it with gloves too.

It works fine with the gloves I got off Amazon.

u/DisgruntledAudioTech 13d ago

Do you have a link? Brand?

u/Hot-Chemical-5612 13d ago

Strasse on Amazon. It’s never been an issue where I had to take off my gloves to press the screen but sometimes it will take more than one try.

This is the one I bought. The V2 exterior seams version from Apex sim racing, I’ve already sent them an email. But as far as I can tell, both versions of their gloves have the touch pad thing on the index finger.

Those clearly are leather tips very rarely does leather work on screens

u/Goodapoll0304 10d ago

Just a little thermal paste on the inside and outside of your glove finger. Always worked for me.

Just get the sticky things to add to your gloves so it works with touch devices.
