What is an arm cover?
Arm covers are accessories used to cover the arms. Its a sleeve-shaped item with a length that usually covers the area from the elbow to the wrist.It has been developed and marketed mainly for the sports and fashion scenes.
Arm covers as gaming gear have three main roles: to protect against humidity, to prevent sweaty hands, and to improve the feel of operation.
CW-X S
- Fitting: Good
- Thumbhole: Good
- Texture: Normal
- Operability：〇
- Color variation：Many
- Cost：◎
This arm cover is so famous that when it comes to arm covers, you could say CW-X!(Personally)
The features are simple design and few deductive points.
It has a simple design with the CWX logo stretched over a solid color, and is available with or without thumbholes and in three different colors.Everything can be said to be passable, and the simple, habit-free feel is GOOD.
Another appeal of this product is its cost-effectiveness, at approximately 2,500 JPY for a pack of 2 sheets.
EADALI S
- Fitting：Slightly tight (so good)
- Thumbhole: There are two variations
- Texture: So good
- Operability：◎
- Color variation：Many
- Cost：◎
It is a great arm cover.God, GOD, The Doddess
The best feature is that it can be used with Artisan Zero, Type 99, and other mousepads that tend to catch on arms and arm covers.
The EADALI rarely gets stuck, and as for the Type 99, it is extremely smooth.
At about 1,600 yen for a pack of two, these arm covers are highly cost-effective, and if you buy them anyway, they will never go to waste.
※The sewing pattern is different for patterned and one tone. If you want the same experience as me, plz buy the same color.
WALLHACK

These arm covers are released by WALLHACK (formerly SkyPAD), a pioneer in glass pads.
It features an innovative design and the only sleeve-type thumbhole.
The unique thumbhole covers up to the base of the thumb, completely avoiding skin-to-mousepad contact.It is truly an arm cover optimized for glass pads.
Pulsar eS Arm sleeve M
- Fitting: Good
- Thumbhole: Slightly tight
- Texture: Good
- Operability: 〇
- Color variations: Normal
- Cost: 〇
This arm cover is released by Pulsar Gaming Gears, one of the hottest emerging manufacturers.
Its features are a size that fits slim people and a comfortable fit.
Although the thumbholes are a little tight, there are no other drawbacks, and like CW-X, this arm cover is simply easy to recommend.
Personally, I don’t mind the joints of the cover the most, and it is GOOD that the product is available in M/L sizes and a variety of glove type/short/long/thumbhole.
REJECT
- Fitting: Slightly large (not possible to review, because I have thin arms)
- Thumbhole: So good
- Texture: So good
- Operability：〇
- Color variation：△
- Cost：△
These arm covers are sold by the Japanese e-sports team REJECT. Its rare in the world for a team to sell such a product, and moreover, it is originally developed and made in Japan.
Features include a silky feel and ideal thumbhole.
The material has a silky feel and high elasticity like spandex fabric, and the large, seamless thumbhole will not cause any discomfort around the thumb.
It is a waste that the price is quite high at about 4,000 JPY per piece and price.
Wide sleeves and thumbholes are available in the lineup, but the fit of wide sleeves varies greatly depending on the size of the hand, so if I had to choose, I would personally choose thumbholes.

Summary
At first, you can’t get wrong if you buy EADALI arm covers.
It can be used with a wide range of products from glass pads to cloth mouse pads, and can even be used with Artisan Zero, the natural enemy of arm covers.I own several other arm covers, but this is the one and only one that the author has.And yet they are priced at less than about 2,000 yen and come in a pack of two, so they are actually less than 1,000 yen each.It is really wonderful.
If you are buying for use with glass pads, we recommend that you decide between REJECT/CW-X/Pulsar.
Of the two, the REJECT is by far the most important if you value the fit of the thumbhole.The thumbhole is quite wide, and this is probably close to the optimal solution in arm covers.There are no embroidery marks and no discomfort around the thumb area at all.
Unfortunately, my arms are too thin to make an accurate evaluation of the fit, but what can be said with certainty is that the thumbhole type should be purchased over the wide sleeve type.
If you are concerned about a tight fit around the arm, it is Pulsar. The thin fabric, comfortable joints, and slightly narrow arm circumference were the most comfortable fit for me.After all, it may be that the company has a deep understanding of pokie users like me.
I have thin arms, so if you have thicker arms, you may want to choose size L. The thumbhole part is a little tight, so you need to be careful.The thumbhole part is a little tight, so you should also pay attention to that.
CW-X is somewhere in the middle of the two in terms of quality, cost performance, and color variation. CW-X is good in all respects, and while there are no outstanding features, it is not a bad buy and is usually satisfactory. The two-pack is also very nice.
The problem is that the fabric is a little thicker than other products.Other than that, I have no complaints.
