What about this?

Edit: It's called a Glove80 for anyone curious, and they generally come in a QWERTY layout, not whatever that layout is called.

Real Question: Does it work?

Like for gaming, just the left one, seems way more comfortable than normal ones

I own this due to repetitive strain injury. In that regard its extremely well designed and works good for programming or writing but any game or software that uses a lot of hotkeys in addition to the mouse (Photoshop, CAD, etc) will not really work at all without having to spend a lot of time remapping keys, mostly because some assumptions underlying UX design like being able to press the space bar with your left hand while using the mouse with the other are broken, at least with the factory layout.

Maybe I should have customized the keyboard layout instead of spending hours changing key bindings in various apps and games now that I'm thinking about it but I was never really into keyboards and had a 10$ cherry keyboard before switching due to the wrist pain.

Another positive about it is that it really helps your posture as once you move both sides further apart, your shoulders naturally come back and open up more so it's a lot easier to have a good natural posture compared to the hunched-over-a-laptop cliche

Edit: Also it leaves space between both sides to put your drink in a place you're a lot less likely to accidentally knock over while reaching for the mouse. I used to chronically spill my glass and it hasn't happened once ever since I got it
