Gaming arm sleeves
A compression arm sleeve cuts the friction between your forearm and the desk or mousepad — most noticeable on glass pads, where bare skin sticks and drags. The payoff is a smoother, more repeatable arm-aim glide, plus less sweat-stick over a long session.
Like a chair or a desk, an arm sleeve is a comfort & consistency buy — not a measured competitive edge, and it doesn't feed the Setup Score. It earns its keep most if you arm-aim on a glass pad; if you wrist-aim on cloth you can skip it. Fit/size is the thing to get right, so this is a list, not a ranking.
