Most gamers can play for hours when they sit in front of their computer. Of course, after pressing the keys for so many hours, there may be minor pains in the joints. However, a company obviously made these pains their main priority and decided to develop a ‘desktop hand massager’ for gamers.
Athletes who struggle in physical sports regularly attend massage and therapy sessions in addition to their training. As you know, collective game competitions are now organized under the name of e-sports. The Japanese company Bauhütte, which is famous for the furniture they produce for the players, has also developed a device that will offer this ‘massage and therapy’ experience to the players.
It is claimed to offer a real massage experience:
Reminiscent of the box in Dune: Desert Planet, one of the films that marked 2021, this handheld massager is claimed to offer a ‘real massage experience’ thanks to the soft coating that gives off heat. Bauhütte recommends using the massager to warm up before starting the game, to increase blood circulation during the game and to create a relaxing effect after the game.
It is stated that the massage experience can be differentiated with the various modes in it. It is shared that there is also a finger-only mode in the device. Although this product was introduced specifically to the players, various devices for hand massage were launched in the past years. Therefore, it cannot be said that this product is completely innovative. However, this initiative of Bauhütte may indicate that a new field may be formed in the gaming industry. The hand massager, which the company currently sells only in Japan, has a price of $ 150.
So what do you think about this hand massager? Is it the exact product players are looking for or a waste of money? You can share your thoughts in the comments section.
