While playing Xbox with my mom this Christmas, (on a side note she got totally mad at me for continually beating her, really put a damper on the afternoon) I experienced something I think all gamers have at one time or another (or every time we play).
Maybe this is a problem that usually only happens to guys (let's face it, there aren't that many girl gamers for me to consult with) but I totally get a bad case of the sweaty palms when I go on a gaming spree. It can be a game killer, your finger slips of the button at a key moment, you tap the trigger just a little too hard, and all because of a little perspiration.
So why haven't controller designers anticipated this? I don't want to take a break while my controller dries and cools off, I want to play! I want a controller that will wick away moisture, maybe some sort of cover that comes standard that's interchangeable and machine washable. Come on, if there are glasses that allow me to stare at my computer for hours on end without doing any damage to my eyes why aren't there sweat-sucking game controllers? Silicone skins only serve to give you a slightly better grip when sweating does occur, and a lot of them don't even fit controllers that well. I want something better. Make it happen universe.
If anyone knows of something like this that I'm somehow not aware of please let me know either in the comment section or email me. And no, I don't want to be linked to the ones with built-in fans, the controller's big enough already, and I have little girl hands, okay? Thanks!
Even though I don't play games that often, yep, that mess happens to me then you have to take time out of your glorious gaming to wipe your hands off. They should have something attached to the controller or something idk.
ReplyDeleteIt's called gloves...cotton with the fingertips cut out and cold insert applied as needed....silly ladies....nesscesssitiiiy the mom of invention
ReplyDeletewow anon, you fail. you Completely missed my point. we both want something integrated into the controller. it happens to everyone, even those of us not hardcore enough to have gamer gloves or who lack the dignity and bathe ourselves in baby powder, why haven't console/controller makers fixed this problem?!
ReplyDelete...maybe that dyson guy should fix this one. (you'd have to watch a lot of tv to get that one, and i'm too lazy atm to put up a link, so there!)
