In my microlighting days, the radio and nav switches all seemed to be teeny weeny. Normal flying gloves didn't permit accurate selection, and I used cyclists' fingerless gloves. Naked fingers could feel and operate the switches satisfactorily and the material of the gloves at the palm enabled good grip of the control stick and throttle.

I first saw the use of these gloves about 30 years ago by an Indonesian pilot of a Bell 214 with miniaturised radios etc.
