    Genuine question: Do you prefer smaller sized mice?

    … You may just actually have small hands.

    For reference I’m 7.5 inches from thumbpad/root to index finger, arguably on the cusp between how mice are often sized as small vs medium… and I can handle the chonker that is the Steam Deck just fine.

      Funny enough, no. I have an LG G502 and I run it with the heaviest weights it came with (though, it’s still a lot lighter than the g5 was), but the weight of the deck is what ends up getting me. My wrists are usually what stops my sessions in the deck, but regular mouse usage is fine.

          Not sure how grip training improves wrists, but I already have a number of wrist specific exercises I do semi-regularly to help with the issue.

            Indirectly. It helps keep all the associated muscles in good shape. Kind of like not skipping leg day, or not skipping core day. Doesn’t matter how buff your biceps are if that’s all that’s built.

            That being said, you may well already be doing a superb set of wrist and hand exercises, the explanation isn’t directed at what you are or aren’t doing, just talking about the usefulness of grip strength improvement. 9/10, if you’re already doing specific exercises, you’re also likely doing stuff that fills the same role.
