The main issue he was having was that standard controllers easily fatigued his hands the longer he played. The weight of the controllers combined with the force needed to press buttons and triggers caused him a lot of pain.<\/p>\n

After Milan contacted AbleGamers and went through options with our Peer Counseling team, he decided on a sensitive controller that fit his needs. We were able to supply him with the controller, which is much more responsive to his inputs. This ultimately lengthened his gaming sessions and allowed him to game more comfortably.<\/p>\n

This enabled him to just enjoy the game instead of worrying about the pain. We\u2019re happy to have helped Milan on his Quest to continue gaming![\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_video link=”https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=bIRjRFznQZ8″][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row full_width=”stretch_row” bg_type=”bg_color” bg_color_value=”#052049″][vc_column width=”2\/3″][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n
