Gaming Glove?

[[VJ]_Xanthias]

Anyone use or know of a good gaming glove? About 30 minutes before going to bed, I found that my right wrist hurt ALOT!! I have one of those gel wrist rest mouse pads, but this is the first time my wrist has hurt since I bought it. Does anyone know of a product they could recommend or at least one you have heard of? Keep in mind that I have big hands, so unless it's adjustable, it's not an option.

Thanks, guys!

LOL, I saw the title and I thought of a glove that could be worn for and used for gaming like a joystick. Then I thought of Leisure Suit Larry

Go to the doctor! Don't wanna mess around with carpal tunnel or tendonitis. When I first got wrist pains a few years ago, the doc took some x-rays and told me it was "just" tendonitis and gave me this massive wrist brace thing and some Celebrex.. Really uncomfortable and hard to use the mouse when I was wearing it. After a month or two, I switched to a Ace wrist wrap thing. Completely got rid of the pain.

Steelpad makes a "gaming glove".. http://www.ferrago.com/image/2791/1 - my Ace bandage is just the wrist part of that glove.. the fingers on that one look kinda weird.

I almost thought you were talking about something like this.

If your wrist is hurting, check your posture too. This will help prevent repetitive strain injury (RSI). I find if I slouch my wrist is bent over the edge of my keyboard tray and after a while this can cause an aching wrist. I just remember to keep my wrist straight and I don't get any problems. Go for the glove too because every little bit helps.

Maybe a picture of your set up would help?

You want a wrsit splint?

Stop by your favorite drug store and pick up a wrist brace. I took the metal splint out of mine as it didn't need that. I just needed something to keep my hand and wrist locked so that there would be no side-to-side motion, forcing me to move the mouse with my arm instead of my wrist. I found I only needed it for Tribes 2 as it required a lot more fine mouse motion at high speed than other games.

I know this is probably going to be considered lame advice, but rather than treat the symptom, I would suggest looking at the cause. A lot of tendon / joint / muscle pain is caused by unnatural exertion on already weak body parts. The very best solution is prevention. Sign up at your local gym and pump some iron. Yes, laugh all you want, but working on your overall body strength and supporting muscles goes a long way towards preventing injuries.

Admittedly, this takes longer and is more effort than slapping on a wristband, but the benefits are far greater.

In other words, stop playing video games and get some exercise. :P
