This is a shiatsu hand massager for players

Many of us know at least one person who plays games for hours, perhaps tiring their hands in the process. To alleviate their tired gloves, a Japanese company Bauhutte created a hand massager for players.

The MSG-01H-BK hand massager, which works on both hands, has a 15-layer airbag for each finger and a shiatsu palm plate. There are two main options: Shiatsu mode for the whole hand and one that focuses on stretching the fingers.

There are several intensity settings, as well as an additional hand warmer that is said to improve circulation. You will need to slide your hand sideways to massage your thumb. The hand massager switches off automatically after 10 minutes. Bauhutte suggests using the device before playing to warm your hands, during breaks and afterwards to cool down.

While some might scoff at the hand massager for players, it’s not too funny an idea. Many esports competitors use hand warmers between circles to absorb moisture, keep fingers toasty and improve circulation. Some esports organizations hire a masseuse keep players in top condition.

Other companies have made hand massagers, although it makes sense for Bauhutte to market his version to players. He attracted the attention of his family last year play bed, and the company sells a wide range of furniture and accessories keeping in mind players such as a portable foot massager.

Bauhutte’s hand massager is currently only available in Japan and costs around $ 150. As Kotaku notes, the company has a website in English, so the device could be offered elsewhere.
