Product Description
"By providing comfort and stability, XtendPlay corrects problems you didn't even know existed." Everett "Small" Coleman, MLG Pro Circuit Halo: Reach coach | "XtendPlay allows for enhanced control, and relaxed hands means better accuracy and precision" -- Andy "Bravo" Dudynsky, Pro Circuit Halo: Reach coach | XtendPlay's patented TrueControl technology empowers you to Play Better. How? Simple: improved ergonomics = better performance.
Weighing in at just 5 ounces and made of extremely durable soft-touch material, XtendPlay's TrueControl technology blurs the line between gamer and controller. The result: boosted performance and comfort. |
1. Increased Accuracy and Precision:
Securely holding the controller, its shape allows your fingers to remain in a more relaxed position during game play, reducing tension and fatigue in your hands. With XtendPlay all your hand/finger energy goes into playing the game, so accuracy and precision increase--and remain high over entire gaming sessions. |
2. Better Grip:
Airflow Channels strategically placed around XtendPlay's textured surface promote air flow to help keep hands and fingers cool and dry, bettering your grip, which also improves performance. |
3. Enhanced Stability and Control:
XtendPlay's size and shape fill the negative space between your body and the controller, boosting stability by allowing XtendPlay to rest up against your midsection or on your lap in a more ergonomic way. This enhances control and unburdens the upper body, so your arms, shoulders, even upper back and neck remain tension free and you won't slip into bad posture while playing. |
Compatible with original-equipment Xbox 360 controllers, Razer Onza, and OnLive MicroConsole controller. Not compatible with Microsoft Chatpad accessory; *Xbox 360 controller not included. Color: green

Fun:
Well like everyone else, I was not sure that it would make the difference that it is suggested to.
When I received it, the thing felt alien to my hands at first, but listening to other reviewers I persevered and I got used to it-COMPLETELY used to it. So much so that now I don't like the feeling of the controller without it.
First of all, it really does space out your hands, and my hands no longer feel quite as arthritic as they would previously...actually a long way from it, so in that respect it does it's job well.
Second of all, the 'air channels' if you can call them that, technically must work, but because of the synthetic material that the xtendplay is made from, it counteracts this and probably makes your hands sweat more than the standard hard plastic of the controller. I am lucky that my hands don't usually sweat, but I think this will vary from person to person.
Third of all, the length of it makes it extremely comfortable to use as it can rest on my lower stomache, with next to no pressure or weight and therefore relaxing my arms a lot. This would have warranted 5 stars by this point, however...
...for some reason when using a wireless controller, it has a problem with encouraging the controller to disconnect-OFTEN. At first I thought this was due to batteries, so I changed them. Still happened. Then I changed the controller to a different one all together. Still happened. I then changed those batteries-guess what? Still happened. Once I hard wired the controller, the problem no longer existed, which leads me to conclude that inside the controller itself, wherever the wireless antenna sits, must be getting the signal blocked by the xtendplay. This is generally supported by the fact that most of the video footage I have seen of the xtendplay was utilized using wired controllers. This is an annoyance, hence the lost star.
All in all, it's worth the money, and I would encourage any gamer who likes to have full day sessions to pick one up. And if anyone is wondering if there is a barrier created actually playing the games using this unit, then rest assured there is not. I have been playing Deus Ex: Human Revolution, Mortal Kombat and Gears Of War 3 recently with the xtendplay, and in no way does the controller get in the way.
Just get it.

Helps me worry less about carpal tunnel
25 April 2011
Amazon Verified Purchase
Fun:
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.

I am a 45 year old gamer. Been gaming my whole life. I suffer from severe carpal tunnel.Numb fingers and hand when gaming. From my job...To my sport.....To my gaming. I started PC gaming to help with my problem,and it did. But, I missed my xbox. I got this and I could not be happier. Works well with a play and charge, so you don't have to take it off.It has let me continue to game. I recommend it 100%.Money well spent !!!

Effective, but could be better
31 Jan 2012
Amazon Verified Purchase
Fun:
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.
