Keyboard/Mouse for sweaty hands

by migasll8

Hi,

I have an old laptop serving as my tv box. I mainly use Kodi, but I also use other apps like youtube.

Currently I have one of these keeyboards:

The keyboard works very well, but I have very big problems with the mouse when my hands get sweaty, which is almost always. It just doesn't work.

I'm looking for an alternative, but I think touch mouses will always be a problem. So I thought maybe I could use a joystick as a mouse. Is this possible?

I'm looking at something like this:

It has the keyboard and the mouse (for my wife) but I should be able to use the analog joysticks as a mouse. Can I configure it like that? I don't have any joystick to test.

Do you know of any other alternative?

Thanks

I can't suggest a mouse, but I can recommend GlycoPyrrolate as a means to control your perspiration. My doctor prescribed it to control my sweating and it's been extremely effective. I used to have major problems with sweaty hands but since taking that in tablet form daily it's pretty much gone away.

This isn't medical advice, you should consult a physician, but for me in a week it fixed a problem I'd suffered with for 40 years.
