I also rarely wear gloves. It's hard for me to find gloves that let me use the DIAD.

I'm an orange, 5, 4 kind of guy myself.
I stopped using the touchscreen a couple of weeks after we got the newest DIAD. I'm so skilled, I'm usually 5 steps ahead before the DIAD catches up

Orange, that's the one. If you hit it by accident when you are in the signature screen, it beeps at you until you hit it again.
It is on the right side, right under the one of the other buttons.

You can fly thru resis. And even commercial stops. Once you learn the numbers associated with the touch screen it becomes second nature and you'll never use the touchscreen again.
Somethings you don't even need to use the orange key for. Like grouping prerecorded stops. you can just hit 1 or 2 if it's res or comm and small arrow to next one and repeat as needed until you have them all grouped and sig/enter. Stop complete, 2.

I use leather mechanix-style gloves. Once they break in they're pretty dexterous. Durable and dry quick. They still seem to work with the touchscreen too. I've tried the nitrile coated ones. You can get a good grip and finger movement but with that rubber coating my hands just sweat and they never dry.

Ask @Big Arrow Down...D. He's the authority on gloves on here. Rubber, latex, mechanix, you name it, he has it.

deep down inside I really do not care
I live in the south so the few times it is below zero,or single digit temps,I just use the same gloves I wear year round. I can't imagine the winters up north and I do feel for my brothers and sisters out there making it happen when it's -20 and a strong wind.
They are fluorescent orange or green and have textured nitrate in the palms and fingers.

I use those but the bright green or orange. The one's I buy are a little bit thinner and cost $3.50.But you are right do NOT buy expensive gloves.
I buy all black ones. $6 or so and go through a few pairs through the winter (New England). Great grip and regular rubber actually works on the DIAD screen. Don't buy expensive gloves for this job. ALL gloves wear out along the fingers.
Helpers are for like 3-4 weeks. Winter is 3 months.
Spend the money on Under Armour Extreme Coldgear pants,shirts and socks,well worth the $50 0r $60 you spend.

It gets a little cold if the helper is too slow to close the door. The gloves help as the cab reheats.
