It stretches from a player\u2019s upper arm to the palm of their hand and is made of a low-friction material that decreases resistance when moving across a mousepad, which Dunlop says improves mouse maneuverability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition to preventing your skin from rubbing across the mousepad, it also provides a moderate amount of compression to your entire arm to reduce wasteful movements. These are the core features for how it helps improve performance, but it\u2019s also made of a sweat absorbent material that\u2019s quick to dry which they say is comfortable for long play sessions.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1280\" height=\"720\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px\" src=\"http:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/20221003-221434-001.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-16044\" srcset=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/20221003-221434-001.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/20221003-221434-001-600x338.jpg 600w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/20221003-221434-001-380x214.jpg 380w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/20221003-221434-001-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/20221003-221434-001-150x84.jpg 150w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/20221003-221434-001-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/20221003-221434-001-696x392.jpg 696w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/20221003-221434-001-1068x601.jpg 1068w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/20221003-221434-001-747x420.jpg 747w\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1288\" height=\"361\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1288px) 100vw, 1288px\" src=\"http:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/20221003-221434-002.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-16043\" srcset=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/20221003-221434-002.jpg 1288w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/20221003-221434-002-600x168.jpg 600w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/20221003-221434-002-380x107.jpg 380w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/20221003-221434-002-768x215.jpg 768w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/20221003-221434-002-150x42.jpg 150w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/20221003-221434-002-300x84.jpg 300w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/20221003-221434-002-696x195.jpg 696w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/20221003-221434-002-1068x299.jpg 1068w\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><br>The design of wrapping from players\u2019 forearms down to their palms was made by analyzing the movements of esports players and is patent pending. There\u2019s also a soft hook that wraps around the pinky to keep the sleeve from slipping without interfering with mouse movement (also patent pending). The upper section is made with nanofibers similar to what golf gloves use to prevent the sleeve from sliding down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dunlop\u2019s announcement brings up their history of product development and analyzing objects coming in contact with each other like tires and roads or the impact of a golf club on a ball. They say the arm supporter was developed with special attention paid to how the forearm or palm of one\u2019s hand contacts a mousepad while playing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"\u6b63\u3057\u3044\u88c5\u7740\u65b9\u6cd5\u3000\u30c0\u30f3\u30ed\u30c3\u30d7 \u30b2\u30fc\u30df\u30f3\u30b0\u30de\u30c3\u30b9\u30eb \u30a2\u30fc\u30e0\u30b5\u30dd\u30fc\u30bf\u30fc\" width=\"1160\" height=\"653\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/kvVesPcP30w?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The Dunlop Gaming Muscle Arm Supporter is scheduled to release in Japan on October 26 (JST) via Amazon.
