Popis: The gaming industry is one of the fast-growing industries and a lot more people playing video games than we can imagine. However, due to the rise of gaming, the ergonomic comfort and usability of the video game controllers are questionable as the research on their comfort is limited. This study is based on the ergonomic review of the latest video game controllers from leading video game consoles and what can be possibly done to avoid gaming injuries if played for long hours. Results showed that the attachments used in the controllers significantly reduced the fatigue and allowed the users to play for long hours thereby preventing gaming injuries.
