      I have carpal tunnel, this would make gaming more comfortable so I can play more of the games I actually want to.

      It’s not that I am incapable, it’s just nice to be able to do without pain. Same with work, I make good money, just causes pain.

          I’ve got the surgery referral and a steroid shot here shortly. The shot gave me a good month of what ever I wanted before I needed to start narrowing options down last time.

          I can do stuff like turn based games with minor discomfort, painkillers aren’t the best option, but they help to get some fun once in a while though.

      They’re a company so they’re not gonna sell it for a loss. And this is a pretty niche device compared to the normal xbox controller that actually has economies of scale, and is a fairly simple design.

      Honestly I expected this to cost a lot more considering what it can do.
