I used liquid soap btw. I think how it works is, during a day you constantly produce some oil. soap removes the built up oil from your skin. So I think that's the only thing that causes a "sweat" like effect. Because I don't believe it's actually the sweat, rather the oily stuff that causes the moist. Edited in some grammar things and moved around some parts because it wasn't that nice to read. | ||

Washing my hand any more than I already do is not really viable because it would mean having to go to the bathroom several times an hour and if you work that's not possible. I also live in a sub-tropical country so it's quite warm and humid all the time which makes it worse. | ||

When shaking someones hand, are you nervous? For example, can be a job interview or meeting someone you havn't seen in a long time. Perfectly normal. A tip, Don't keep your hands in your pockets beforehand. | ||

So, I washed my hands with soap, they dry'ed out and didn't create anymore sweat on the mouse. I don't know how long this lasted since I stopped playing before they got sweaty again but I'll guess atleast a few hours. Try it out! I was amazed. I used liquid soap btw.

Yes, washing my hands with hot water and soap properly makes it so my hands dont sweat for a long time. I have the same problem as you guys, and i notice that after a shower, my hands stay dry for the next few hours. The sweat causes the moisture too, because i dont magically get a lot of moisture as soon as i start playing sc2, that wouldnt make sense. | ||

You can use anti-antiperspirants, but they usually leave residue, which is not acceptable on the palms or feet. You can also go to your doctor and get a prescription for beta-blockers. Beta-blockers block the adrenaline receptors, which can help the sweating. If you need a really permanent solution, there is an invasive surgical method which is performed on an out-patient basis: you go home on the same say of the surgery. | ||

Currently my trick is to use alcohol wipes to dry off my hands regularly but I don't always have them handy. Constant application of alcohol to any part of your body is likely to cause long term damage. | ||

It's definitely a better alternative to tissue paper, as specs of white residue can really make you keyboard look dirty even when it's not.A tip from a sweater to a fellow sweater: Those cloth used to wipe your glasses with are GREAT at removing the dirt from your computer gear I don't think this is much of a issue for me because they evaporate almost instantly. I actually asked my doctor about this, since I literally leave tiny pools of sweat on the keyboard/desk after a long game. He said simply use a sort of deodorant that prevents sweat, much like the stuff for armpits. Not sure if I want my hands caked with that stuff though, since my keyboard isn't exactly cheap.
