   actually , it is. but too much can make your hands sore. it helps you in marbles and helps your hands move fast.
   hope this helps!

   Repetitive movements in a constricted and unatural position, such as on a keyboard, is detrimental to your hands.

   That means, no it is not good for your hands, i.e., carpal tunnel, etc.

   Lol. Ive heard it really does make you more coordinated. And you have muscles in your hands and fingers..etc so since you can excersise anything with muscles id say yes. Its not gonna make any difference other than hurting hands. Maybe take a break from videogames and computer and wait a while and maybe your hands will stop hurting.

   No. You can actually develop carpal tunnel from the repetitive motions involved in playing video games!

    Hand and hands alone, no, and it can actually be harmful to play too much. However, certain games do actually help develop hand-eye coordination, but that’s not hand exercise.
