XtendPlay for Xbox 360

@ first when I saw the Xtendplay I was leary. It looks weird & makes you wonder, "How could this work?"Well this answer is it works great. I have a problem with my hand going to sleep when I hold a controller normally. My fingers curl around the controller base and cause my wrist to be @ an angle that constricts bloodflow causing my hand to fall asleep.With the Xtendplay my fingers & wrist are at a more natural position preventing reduced blood flow and allowing me to play much longer. So as the title says Looks funny, Works great.Also you can use your headset with them, just plug it in first and allow a little slack when you slide the Xtendplay on the controller.

I am only a casual gamer with carpal tunnel in one of my wrists, but I must say that using the Xtendplay definitely helps. The green slime color is not the classiest, but you will never lose your Xbox controller because it stands out across the room. Beware of possible microphone attachment difficulties if you do not use the Microsoft headset. I have a gaming headset microphone adapter that will not work with the Xtendplay because the microphone adapter does not fit within the Xtendplay. I bought a separate adapter that fits - easy fix. I find the Xtendplay material feels good in my hands. It kind of reminds me of something I've used in a swimming pool. I feel like the XtendPlay is a little pricey, but my hands and wrists feel remarkably more relaxed after playing some Halo or Gears of War. After you get over the sticker shock, I think you will find your XtendPlay a good investment.

Super awkward to hold. If you are trying to be like stallion83, I feel sorry for you, this is not how to become better at games.Just a stupid product to waste money on.

I was pretty excited for the XtendPlay because I've been getting pains in my wrist and shoulder when playing COD and other games for a long time. However, the foam is really bulky and is clearly not designed for people with smaller hands. I'm a girl, and my fingers could barely reach the bumpers and triggers and I had to completely change my hand positioning to be able to tap the Y button. Obviously, I couldn't use the thing to play COD. I tried to make it work, but there is no way that I can see unless I somehow cut the sides of the foam down. My boyfriend tried it, and he was able to reach all the controls, so I guess people with bigger hands can use it better.Also, because the foam covers the bottom of the controller, you cannot plug in your headset. I did go ahead and punch a hole in the foam to plug in my Turtlebeaches, and that's not too difficult to do. However, if you use your Xbox to watch Netflix or anything else, then you have to unplug the headset from the controller, and to do that, you have to pull the controller out of the sleeve, so that becomes a pain.In the end, it didn't work out for me. If you have bigger hands and you don't need to unplug or use a headset, though, then this may be a good investment for you. Good luck. :)

This really depends on the game you play. Will have a hard time on faster paced games like tekken tag2

I'm pretty into this accessory. It makes long sessions playing your Xbox far less painful for your hands. It's big, but it's a very good design. Worth checking out if you have controller claw hand (gnurled fingers and hand discomfort) after playing your favorite games. I never thought the Xbox controller was that great of a design, and this type of product is definitely needed.XtendPlay is made of a soft foam that is more dense and hard than Nerf material, but it is softer than high density plastic. It was a good choice of densities by the designers.The main flaw is that there is no hole or space for your Xbox talkback cable with a puck or (obviously) for your chat pad. I would say the next production run should design in a space for your cable to go. It does work with the standard crummy Xbox Live headsets that come with your Xbox. If you have headphones with a mic built in, you will have to use a regular straight talkback cable or one with in-line volume controls, and this product works fine with straight or right angle cables for Xbox Live chat, although the fit on the controller is slightly less snug. It DOES NOT fit a controller with the puck style (my favorite) talkback cable. Basically to hook up your talkback cable or unhook it, you will have to take the controller out of the XtendPlay to do so. I drilled a hole in my Xtend Play to make it easier to remove the cable, but this doesn't help me when I want to hook it up again, I have to thread the cable through and plug it in and slide the controller back into the Xtend Play.

Works great and I won't game without it. Hand pain was limiting me to 1-2 hours of gaming a week. With the XtendPlay, I can game however long I want and don't get cramping or wrist/finger pain. I adjusted to it within an hour and haven't noticed any decrease in control fidelity.A couple notes: First, the XtendPlay works best when you are reclined -- you can use it standing or sitting but its a bit awkward. Second, you'll need a wireless headset if you want to use one as the XtendPlay covers the microphone jack. Both of these are fine for me.

For the first few hours the XtendPlay felt a bit awkward. After about 10 hours it was a little better, but still awkward. At that point I took it off and started using just the controller. I immediately saw the benefit of using the XtendPlay as I could feel myself gripping the controller a lot harder. So my verdict, effective, but could be better. If they made the sides where your palms rest conform a little better to the hand I think it would improve the feel. As it is now if feels like I'm holding a block. I also tend to stand a lot while gaming so being able to rest the controller against my stomach is nice. Without the XtendPlay my shoulders would start to get sore after a while.I'm going to continue using it, but if they improve it I'll get another one. It's a great idea, and it works.

i look like a huge nerd, my friends crack jokes, but i don't care...i love this thing.my hands get very stiff, sore, and almost arthritic after playing xbox for extended periods of time. i feel like my hands are too big for the controller. this thing makes it much more comfortable to hold...personally it keeps my hands at a much more natural position. plus, you can rest it on your stomach and you barely have to grip the controller at all. however, i find that i like to rotate between using it and not using it so that my hands don't stay stuck in the same position for too long.it definitely takes an hour or two to get used to...it'll feel very foreign at first. but stick with it, soon you won't even notice.

Comfy to use and dosn`t make your hands sweaty and clammy after playing for long periods, rests nicely in your lap relieving stress on the shoulders and upper arms etc: Only one drawback you cannot connect your headset to the controller as it sits inside the holder, there is no space/gap at the back for this unless you make your own hole for access for your mic/headset wire, which means destroying part of the item.
