The "Gaming Muscle", the "Second Muscle"!

アットプレス

Sumitomo Rubber Industries, Ltd. has announced its first entry into the e-sports market, the " Dunlop Gaming Muscle Arm Supp orter," a gaming arm supporter!
Although Dunlop has a strong image as a tire manufacturer, the company has also been focusing on sports businesses such as golf and tennis, so entering the "e-sports" market is a natural step for the company.
However, there are many arm supporters on the market today from various manufacturers, and there are many users, but the reason why Dunlop dared to enter the arm supporter market as its first product is because the "Dunlop Gaming Muscle Arm Supporter" has six features that make use of the know-how it has cultivated to date. The first one is the arm and mouse pad.

The first is the use of a low-friction material that reduces the resistance between the arm and the mouse pad, resulting in a surprisingly smooth feel.
The "Dunlop Gaming Muscle Arm Supporter" makes your forearms glide smoothly against the mouse pad and reduces the frictional resistance between the forearms and the mouse pad. The "Dunlop Gaming Muscle Arm Supporter" is a great help for mouse operation. This makes the operation of the mouse much easier.

The second is to support muscle movement by compression.
As an arm supporter, it is a matter of course to prevent skin chafing and trauma caused by friction between the arm and mouse pad, but the "Dunlop Gaming Muscle Arm Supporter" also provides moderate pressure to the entire arm.
The Dunlop Gaming Muscle Arm Supporter also provides moderate compression over the entire arm to reduce unnecessary muscle movement and vibration, helping to improve performance.

Third, the shape of the body covers the bottom of the palm, which is suitable for e-sports players who hold a mouse.
Dunlop analyzed the movements of e-sports players and found that not only their forearms but also the bottom of their palms are in contact with the mouse pad.
The " wrapper" shape covers the bottom of the palm in one piece to further reduce friction with the mouse pad.

アットプレス

The fourth feature is a little finger hook that prevents the bottom of the palm from slipping off.
Even if the bottom of the palm is covered by the unique "wrapper shape," if it slips off during mouse operation, the effect will be reduced by half.
Therefore, to prevent it from slipping off, it is equipped with a hook that is hooked onto the little finger without interfering with mouse operation.
The hook is very soft and does not get in the way, which is a very nice feature.

アットプレス

The fifth is the nano-fiber material on the back of the forearm.
This nano-fiber material is used in the palm of golf gloves as a non-slip material, and it fits the arm to prevent it from sl ipping off.
Dunlop's accumulated know-how in the golf business is utilized in this product.

The sixth and final feature is the use of sweat-absorbent, quick-drying material.
During the development stage, Dunlop interviewed e-sports players who said, "When playing for long periods of time, humidity and perspiration can change the degree of mouse slippage, causing a loss of a sense of aim.
The use of sweat-absorbent, quick-drying material allows moisture and perspiration to dry quickly during long periods of play, ensuring a comfortable feel.

The "Dunlop Gaming Muscle Arm Supporter" is the result of all of this attention to detail, and has received comments from SPYGEA(@spygea_jp ), one of Japan's leading e-sports players and streamers.

As someone who has been involved in e-sports for many years and know many athletes who have had to retire due to injury, I am very pleased to see that Dunlop, which has long supported professional athletes in various genres, has developed a new supporter that focuses on the physical care of e-sports players. I am very pleased to see the development of this new supporter that focuses on e-sports player's body care.
Wearing this supporter will greatly improve the smoothness of right-hand mouse operation, and will lead to a high level of stability of the AIM movement, which is the lifeline for FPS players.
Currently, the practice of playing with a supporter is not yet well established in e-sports, but this product, which can simultaneously prevent injury and improve performance, will become indispensable for players in the future.
