Guard those, er, fingers with the finger guards from Gamer's Shield

Ah, the lucrative world of gaming accessories. Seeking to cater to the ultimate comfort of gamers, some people came up with the Gamer's Shield finger guards that can be slipped on the middle fingers to prevent fingers from getting too sore while gripping the controller.

Most people would just normally get bandages to cushion their fingers while playing, but Gamer's Shield offers a more comfortable solution in the form of a stretchable and breathable fabric with extra padded cushion to protect the fingers that come in contact with the controller.

However, it seems that this accessory came a little too late. Controllers nowadays are designed ergonomically, unlike those hailing from the NES days, and chances of getting sore fingers have now been lessened. Also, the finger pads are shown to be used with the middle fingers - shouldn't they be used on thumbs as well?

The Gamer's Shield comes in five colors, and costs US$ 3.95 per pair of the finger guard.

Well after posing as me and using your last 3 neurons to come up with that idea, Mister Common Sense, I will have you know that I do own a PS3. Amazingly I did not have to suck anything off. I know it is the only possible way you can make conceive of making money, but unlike you I have something called a job. Let me know if I am talking above your head here. After all i did use words with more than one syllable.

If your fingers get sore, you might want to shove it up your @$$ to massage it. While your at it, show it to the Red Ring of Death and let it collect. Then shove it in Ms. Cumin Cents and AxSxSxMxIxLxK's noses.
