Does Anyone Else Wear White Cotton Gloves When Playing Nintendo Switch?

No, but I've been tempted by the Vita. I hate how it's all nice and shiny after cleaning it, only to turn back into a greasy mess within a few minutes.
Also for once I would like to enter a thread like this and don't see the usual replies calling OP a freak over some unusual but otherwise inoffensive habit, or the low effort "weeKeNd suRe iS eARly" posts.

Hey me too! I bought the perfect case for mine. It meets or exceeds every specification I need. It's such a perfect case that I dont even play my Switch.
Or it's just an anime about digital artists. If they haven't made one yet they'll get around to it eventually haha
The only reason I even own white gloves is for a Luigi Halloween. And no, I never thought of using them while playing the switch or any other handheld or console.
In my opinion, a weathered object is a loved object. It's just part of using anything that it gets worse for the wear.

You have to. I wear a hairnet when I'm playing games with VR headsets too. That way I don't give lice to everyone else in the house.
I think you're not understanding the main benefit of this. Or at least not selling it. If you camouflage your hands, then your friends playing splitscreen games can't cheat by watching what inputs you're supplying.
Yes you're way overprotective with it but to each his own.
You'll probably have a heart attack if you saw my nephew's Switch.

Yes, and it actually bothers me when I see people who don't do this. I usually carry a few extra pairs with me and if I see someone on the subway using their bare hands on a switch I'll drop a wrapped pair of white gloves on the seat next to them and hope they get the hint.
Lice isn't even necessarily the danger there, I just mandate that only the bald can use my HTC Vive Pro. But I *do* have a special pair of goggles that are put in a disinfectant called Odoban after every VR session, so that any strange eye juice from myself or strangers doesn't ruin the headset.
I don't wear gloves. I wash my hands a lot though. I don't like my controllers dirty or oily from moisturizers.
Seems like it would be a lot less trouble to just buy a new Switch if and when your current one gets to be in unacceptably poor condition, which will be years from now if it even ever does.
This man will never get the caronavirus because of his very reasonable level of care.
Actually, you may want to save some money by going w/ these instead:
These will give you the same level of protection, but it won't be as buttery smooth unfortunately.
I use compression gloves for my knux when I'm playing some games but uuuuuh you don't need gloves man! Touch the toy! By the time it wears down enough to be ugly, it'll be time to move on anyway.
Edit: Buy a skin, screen protector and a dockable case. All 3 together will protect the console and joy con from literally everything. You can also get usb c and headphone port caps to minimize dust. Dbrand makes great skins, Nyko makes a solid dockable case, and they should fit together (albiet tightly, might survive with just the skin.) You don't need the gloves. Get all of the above and the system will last forever.

You should also be taking birth control and take your hands off the Switch right before you have too much fun just to be extra safe.
