Bauhutte launches handheld massager for gamers. Your hands and fingers will always be in great shape.
Chances are, you know someone around you who plays video games for hours, putting a lot of strain on their hands. To relieve hand fatigue, the Japanese company Bauhutte has just launched a hand massager for gamers.

The MSG-01H-BK handheld massager, which works on either hand, has a 15-layer airbag for each finger and a shiatsu board for the palm. There are two options: full-arm shiatsu mode and a mode that focuses on stretching the fingers.
There are also a range of settings, including intensity, as well as an optional hand warmer that will presumably help with circulation. You will need to place your hand on your side to massage your thumb. The massager will automatically turn off after 10 minutes. Bauhutte also suggests using this accessory before gaming sessions to warm up your hands, and during and after breaks to get back to normal.
Your hands and fingers will always be in great shape
While some may scoff at the gamer’s hand massager, the idea isn’t all that funny after all. Many esports players use hand warmers between rounds to absorb moisture, keep their fingers warm, and improve circulation. Some esports organizations even hire masseuses to keep their players in top shape.
Other prop makers have already released hand massagers, but it makes sense that Bauhutte is targeting gamers with their products. Indeed, the brand gained attention last year with its gaming bed, and the company sells a wide range of consumables and accessories thoughtfully designed for gamers, such as a portable foot massager.
The Bauhutte hand massager is currently only available in Japan for around $150. As Kotaku clarifies, the brand has a website in English, so you can see how this hand massager arrives in the United States or even Europe.
