The test is easy. You die if you remove your hand from the box.

Bauhtte.

There is a hand massager that can be used to remove fatigue from your paws and keep you on top form.

Bauhtte is a device that uses heated air cushions to make it seem like a real massage. Bauhtte recommends using the massager before you play a game to warm up your hands, during breaks to improve circulation, and after you have finished. You deserve it.

A shiatsu mode will rub your palms with firm pressure, while aimble mode will pull and stretch each finger one by one. There is no hand-holding mode to give you encouragement when you need a boost.

Circulation is said to be boosted by heating mode.

The device is fun, but not great of an innovation. You can find a lot of similar items online, though Bauhtte has given the thing a stylish black makeover to appeal to its target audience. SkyMall-for-gamers contraptions include a heated mattress and portable foot massager.

The idea that this might one day be compromised in a cyberpunk espionage plot is something that terrifies me, not the fact that it says about the potential market for gaming-related frippery. Imagine a high-stakes competition where one team hacks a rival's hand massager to break a few fingers. Machines can take away what machines have given.

The hand massager is only available in Japan for $150, but you can find a lot of similar devices on Amazon.
