    Ok this is obviously ridiculous but your tongue is actually really dextrous so it might be functional, if complete absurd.

      complete absurd

      As the subtitle reads, this is accessibility tech and very obviously pretty useful for people who can’t use neither hands nor feet for that.

        My point was not well communicated: I was joking that this tech, which is already perfectly useful, might actually turn out to be more accurate for gamers despite the idea of using this device without a need being apparently absurdist, because our tongues are much more dextrous than people realize.

        As babies we put everything in our mouths. Your tongue knows what everything would feel like. For large parts of human history it was normal to put an unknown object in your mouth to investigate it (the species eventually caught on that this is dangerous).

        It was a poorly worded joke about tongues

      Only with a lot of practice. This tool would be pretty clumsy when you first got it, although it could become extremely useful after a lot of practice with it.
