Apparatus for reducing repetitive stress injuries with hand-manipulated electronic devices

An apparatus is provided for reducing repetitive stress injuries while utilizing a hand-manipulated electronic device such as a video game controller (20). The video game controller (20) will typically have a body (24) including game controllers actuatable by a user's fingers, and hand grips (26) extending therefrom. Cushioned pads, including hand pads (40) and additional pads configured to overlie one or more game controllers on the body, are provided which conform in shape to the surfaces of the video game controller that are most likely to be grasped and/or pressed by a user's hands and/or fingers. The hand pads may be adhesively secured in place to the hand grips or they may comprise sheaths which receive the hand grips therein. The pads which overlie the game controllers are typically adhesively secured to the body adjacent to the game controller without attachment directly to the controller itself.
