StaceyPowers Posted April 27, 2019 Share Posted April 27, 2019 I sometimes get RSI in my wrists from my job. I thankfully haven’t had a flare in a while (knock on plastic), but when I do, it can make gaming a little awkward. Mouse use usually is right out, and keyboard use isn’t great either. DualShock isn’t too bad—mostly—but it can still be a bit much at times. I wondered if anyone here has issues like this, and if so, what you do for them? I use some soft wrist braces which help out a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Blackangel Posted April 28, 2019 Share Posted April 28, 2019 I'm not sure what RSI is, but I have a problem with my hand locking. My fingers lock up and I can't move or bend them at all. I have to have help breaking them loose. And it's not just when I'm gaming. It happens several times daily. And when both hands do it at the same time I'm fully screwed.

skyfire Posted April 28, 2019 Share Posted April 28, 2019 I think VR can be helpful in such case, there are games coming that take eye response for the games. And lack of arms or the legs in some cases won't be an issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Blackangel Posted April 29, 2019 Share Posted April 29, 2019 I have to have someone hold my arm down and take a finger and "break" them loose. I use the term break because there's always a loud cracking sound. I've had x-rays and there's no broken bones or damaged tendons/ligaments so we can't figure out what the he'll is going on. All I know is that it's a pain to deal with every god damn day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skyfire Posted May 1, 2019 Share Posted May 1, 2019 I think that condition is really tough to play games into. I guess in near future we can see some of the VR and more of gesture games which can be pretty effective for gaming with the people who have those condition.

kingpotato Posted May 1, 2019 Share Posted May 1, 2019 I once met a kid with no arms who could play his NDS with his feet , he was actually very good at it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skyfire Posted February 1, 2020 Share Posted February 1, 2020 I recently purchased the band for the hand. And it is kind of good for the blood circulation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
