Maybe sit up when your arms get tired?

The 2ds and 3ds seriously hurt my hands. The switch does too sometimes. I figured out I have to just sit in a chair if I wanna do it comfortably.

ProTip: If your playing while laying on your back, don't drop it.

Yeah, don't.

I have a New 3DSXL. For some reason, the form factor really made my hands cramp up if I played too long, despite never having the problem with the DS Lite. So, one of the first things I did was get a grip. Mine is the Cyber Gadget brand. There may be better ones now. Or not, I dunno, the 3DS is basically finished as a platform, right?

Anyway, the second part is trickier, and that's simply finding some method of playing. For me, I sort of rotate frequently from side to side, to back to belly, like every 20-30 minutes.

Get a controller grip case for it.

Yeah this is the reason I never completed OOT OR MM remakes on 3ds, and the reason I have used my switch undocked for a total of 30 minutes. Uncomfortable, and awkward to hold for any extended period.

Put a pillow under your chest to help prop yourself up. That's how I game on a mobile if I'm lying down. The pillow helps take the pressure off your elbows.

Have fun? Readjust occasionally? Not sure what you’re looking for.😂
