So I'm the proud owner of a new Ipod Touch and I'd like to use it while on my bike. Problem is using the touch screen with gloves. This newer type of touchscreen detects extra capacitance above the screen. Your skin and flesh work like a small capacitor and when close enough, the screen detects the addition of the nearby capacitance. With gloves on, your skin is blocked and it doesn't work. There is no physical movement (poking) of the screen that activates the touchscreen like older PDAs and smartphones. So they make gloves like these to use with this new style of touchscreen DOTS gloves. See the black dots on the fingers? According to them it's a small piece of nickle covered with brass and painted (the brass and paint are there only to prevent scratches, they don't do anything). The nickle is what makes the thing work. Since nickle is magnetic it acts as a capacitor and trips the touchscreen. So anybody have any ideas for what I can use for a small piece of nickle like those dots? I'm going to stick it on my glove fingertip just like those. I just can't figure out where to get a small piece of nickle like that. Thanks for ideas in advance.
