Ergonomic Game Controllers

Although it's hard to imagine prolonged gaming sessions causing serious RSI-related problems (since, after all, if you feel your hand is getting tired, you can always simply stop playing), there are some people who would highly appreciate a device that will pretty much let them play for as long as they want, without incurring too much strain in their hands. And, to some extent, that's how we might described the gadget you'll read about as follows, namely the PRO:Motion Game Controller from Smartfish.

The main point of interest provided by this new gaming accessory is represented by the 3D movement technology and the Dynamic Positioning Controller (DPC) developed by Smartfish, which not only help the device provide gamers with quick action controls for high-performance gaming, but a more comfortable and physically healthier way to play their games.

In fact, as the manufacturer puts it, this device is the world’s first intelligent and healthy “injury avoidance” ergonomic controller that eliminates the risk of RSI and carpel tunnel syndrome which might occur in both casual and hardcore gamers. Smartfish’s proprietary DPC technology actually studies one's usage patterns, and makes periodic, yet imperceptible adjustments to the height, angle and radial position of the device.

Similar to some other Smartfish computer accessories, this game controller was developed together with specialists from the medical field, namely the doctors from the Hospital for Special Surgery (HSS) in New York. Plus, it's designed for a fairly wide audience, given the fact that it works very well with both Windows and Mac systems
Once again, Smarfish has been rather secretive about pricing or availability details, but it does inform us that customers who will purchase the PRO:Motion Game Controller when it becomes officially available will also get a plastic keyboard dust cover, CD with software, comfort guidelines, help center, Quick Start guide, five-year limited hardware warranty, and full product support as a part of the sales package.
