I managed to get some fairly thin gloves that worked well on laptop keyboards these past few months when ive been testing outside in negative celcius tempratures & snow (I work in mobile robotics, testing outside is common enough the company has camping chairs with umberellas etc for us)

something like these https://www.primark.com/en-gb/p/thinsulate-knitted-gloves-bl.... The particular ones I have also seem to work somewhat on touchscreens which is useful for the commute home



To people who may not live in colder climates: you can find one-size-fits-all stretchy gloves that look like this practically everywhere, but they aren't all useless like the ones you find everywhere. Thinsulate and other actually-good insulating tech can be surprisingly effective.
