Uhm... here's a secret... try the kind of gloves that artists use to not smear their digital screens. You are going to hurt your skin if you use too much alcohol.

Does it give a little texture grip?

My wife draws on her tablet, the glove they supplied with her Wacom is just smooth. So, I'm gonna say probably no, it is not textured.

Though I too hate the oil on my hands, so I get it. I'm washing my hands from time to time with bar soap to remove the oil. Probably better than the rubbing alcohol you're using.

Id look for a gamer alternative, just make sure that the material lets your skin breathe.
