Digits conductive pins won’t make a fool of you in the cold

Ever tried writing a text message or an urgent work e-mail with gloves on? Chances are what you planned to type and what came out couldn’t look more different…if anything came out at all. Digits are a $14 set of four conductive pins that, like the Dots iPhone gloves , were designed to make cold weather touchscreen use easy, and hopefully error free. Unlike Dots and other pre-made touchscreen products, however, Digits allow you to use your own gloves, provided they’re knit (unfortunately, they’re not leather-friendly). Each pin comes in two parts: one piece sticks through from inside your glove, and the other, which sports silicone caps, attaches from outside, using the same concept as this DIY set . Digits should keep your touchscreen free of scratches and your texts and e-mails free of error, even when it’s freezing out. Hopefully now you won’t end up firing when you should be filing.
