Thanks MBA very hopeful.

The Gyrogear product is starting to smell like vapourware.

it seems one would need to size the gyroscope to march the strength of the tremor. if the gyroscope is too strong, it means unnecessary force to move ones hand.

The wheels on a bicycle are also gyroscopes.

Looks useful and hopeful. Reminiscent of Microsofts "Emma watch". Let's hope it doesnt just disappear the way that did

Yeah, what happened to Emma’s watch? We keep hearing about this tech but it never seems to progress...

Beware! I bought this in Dec '19, I was in their first batch to go to market. $750 or so. I am tremor dominant. Didn't help. Period. I have so much to say about the dissappointment. Don't waste your money. Mine sits in my closet on a shelf, gathering dust.

Its cool, yes, and a neat concept, but a waste of money.

Too bad. Thanks for your feedback. Did you contact them about getting your money back?

No I did not, I wanted to give it a 'good try', hoping I would get used to it and it would help at that point. But it did not, and by that time the return period had ended. Perhaps it helps with a slight tremor... that said, it also weighs a ton lol so it weighs down the hand entirely.

Wow! $750 and you didn't return it for your money back when it didn't work? I mean it's a mechanical device and as such there is an immediate haptic feedback result (not a bio-medication which may take it's time working through our biological system)

It would be very useful for the company if you let them know that it didn't work for you, so they wouldn't be misled that their technology is working
