Any gamers try this brace? Does it provide ample wrist movement?

Michael, I'm not a gamer, but I find the wrist braces don't impair the movement of my wrists in any way. Needlework, however, is slower than gaming, so I might be comparing apples and oranges. On the other hand, doing needlework for hours on end with finicky little movements is pretty demanding of the entire wrist musculature and the nerves that pass through the wrist, so perhaps my experience can give you a little guidance. Also, they're worth trying---the price is certainly reasonable enough!

I'm not a gamer but, I do alot of demanding work with my hands. I have no problems wearing the brace during work or play. I actually don't need to wear it constantly because it has helped me that much!

Sorry, I'm Not A Gamer, But I Wear These Braces At My Job And Can Tell You They Don't Impede My Wrist Movement At All. Hope This Helps.

I play Forza fine with it. I drive competitively with it. I also build jet engines with it, and that's hard on the wrists.

It holds up pretty well. I had to be creative with it after some time and stick it areas other than originally intended ( one oof the other straps)but have been using it for a few months. I ordered 2 more of them - one for home, one for work - as I really like the way it fits and functions. It is ver well made. I tried a few other braces and they were not comfortable or as suppoertive. To me, it's been well worth the money to order the other 2. I had a brace fitted for me at the physical therapists office, but it has a hardened plastic sectopn (heated and formed to me hand/forearm) but it is a bit uncomfotable and "fatiguing" to wear it as it has no give at all except for the elastic in the thumb wrap, so even small movements are always "pushing against" this brace and itis not nearly as comfortable as the Mueller.

You will have the full range of motion. This brace is more for side to side support.

Yep, absolutely. I have loved this brace, it is highly effective and easy to use.

first you put your thumb through the opening, and then you wrap the brace around your hand/wrist. Works for both hands!

nope. This brace is a game changer. I used it while playing hockey never an issue

The brace is relatively comfortable. Depending on how you position it, it may dig into your abdomen a bit, but that would be true of any brace. I do like the double closure system; it feels like I'm getting more support this way.It looks washable, but to be honest, I haven't tried putting it in the laundry. I wear it about 6-8 hours/day, and not when I'm doing anything too active that would make me sweat into it.

It'd work for any exercise that needs wrist support but I'd advise getting a thumb loop style wrist wrap

I think it does, as long as you use it on the smooth surface side. I have had to make some big movements in the games I play, and have had no problems.

Hi Billy,I wear it for everything except playing tennis. I haven't tried pushups with it yet, but I have done light exercises with weights. This brace, according to the website, works best for OUTER wrist pain, not inner wrist pain. Check out their website; I know they encourage you to try several exercises to see if the brace will help. Good luck!Chris

To answer your question - yes. This is a fabulous brace. I were them because I snap my wrists when using weight. This keeps my wrist in place with a metal bar that goes from top to bottom - but very comfortable.

Your wrist is completely immobile. I don't see it as a daily wrist brace but I suppose it can be used depending on your daily activities. Remember it is a splint. Not exactly a brace.

I wear the brace while doing pushups and yoga without problems. Although I do have to mention that this brace will help pain on the outside or ulnar side of your wrist it most likely isn't going to help with pain on the inside or radial (thumb) side of the wrist.

This has adjustable straps even on your thumb so you adjust it to your liking. but if you type the correct way it will get in your way I use it for my left hand so I am good, I tried it on my right hand and could not type with it. But it has relieve my pain, I have arthritis in my wrist and what the doctors call a gaming thumb. I hope that answers your question.

For me I have found that it stabilizes my whole thumb from my hand up to the nail. There are straps to stabilize your wrist and palm, but a separate strap over your thumb for adjusted stability.

I haven't had any such problem with this brace. It's comfortable enough for me. But I don't wear it at night I use it only to keep my trigger thumb in check when I'm doing manual work.

Yes. It allows free movement of the fingers. The thumb, (except for the last knuckle), and the wrist are braced. I wore mine while working at a job which requires me to work with my hands. It works very well and this is a great price. If you have De Quervin's Tenasitavitis, this is the brace you need.
