I just bought a Switch. Very happy with it, but I am getting really intense hand cramps. I have searched around for some simple grip options. Something that could snap onto the joycons and act as some extra support. I assumed there would be some products out there already. The best thing I have seen is the GripCase which just shipped on Kickstarter/Indigogo. It looks nice, but maybe overkill (I don't really want a whole case. Just grips). I also saw this oldish post about grips and people talked of 3D printing a solution. I see that Thingiverse has a bunch.

But what other options are out there? Commercial products or otherwise. How have you dealt with hand cramp?

I helped fund this kickstarter which gives the Switch some great grips when in handheld mode:
Will be shipping in a couple of weeks, and comes with a sweet case , and alternate grips you can switch the back out for. I hope its cool, I'm very excited to see what its like.

Yes. Thanks. I linked to this in my original post. Looks good, but shipping from Australia is a bit nuts

    @K3Nv3 I registry edited, and installed win11 on a old laptop that not win11 cpu compatible (Intel i3 6006U) last night just to see. Installed and runs fine, even win updates no prob. Think ima go head and update my old tower pc also just to see (Amd FX 8530)
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Figures, I could of saved money by not buying/ building new pc's just to be Win11 compatible. Oh well, these new pc's so much faster anyways.

    @Kirbydogs, what distro are you going with, and what's your comfort level with Linux systems as it stands right now
  • Kirbydogs @ Kirbydogs:
    @Sicklyboy Ubuntu Cinnamon, because I heard it
  • Kirbydogs @ Kirbydogs:
    ack darn enter key
  • Kirbydogs @ Kirbydogs:
    I heard it's pretty good, installed it on my VM last night and was pretty good
  • Kirbydogs @ Kirbydogs:
    never used Linux before, thought it'd be nice
  • Kirbydogs @ Kirbydogs:
    many people say Cinnamon was better than Linux Mint
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    Nice. I'm not that familiar with Ubuntu derivatives these days, I tend to use plain Debian as well as Arch. Tip I would suggest during install, if it gives you the option, some installers offer to put your /home directory on a separate partition, it's simpler (IMO)
    if you just keep it in the rest of your data partition. No harm either way though

    Beyond that (and especially since I'm not familiar with Ubuntu derivatives) just google, google, google if you're unsure about something :) the Arch Linux wiki, while not directly applicable, is IMO still one of the best resources for learning about how specific utilities work or for some general troubleshooting steps that could be abstracted to other distros
