I can't see how all you DS Lite owners can stand playing on it. I mean, I get enough hand cramps as it is with my DS Phat. Doesn't it hurt a lot worse because its so small? Or is it just me?

I had never had a cramp while playing it, I think you are playing it too much without taking any breaks...

The only hand cramps I ever got from my DS Lite was when I played Metroid Hunters. The cramps were so bad I had to quit playing the game. Other than that, no problems.

I ujsed to get cramps with the phat DS, probably because I have small hands. The Lite is much more suited to my hand size.

Yes the cramps can be unbearable. My hands are not that large, but even I find the DS Lite too small.

Try getting a case for your DS. There are a lot of hard cases out there that bulk the the DS and makes it much easier to hande. There is a lot in the US, but if you do a search for asian website stores, you can find a lot of variety and designs that work really well for you!

I usually don't get cramps. I hold it in an awkward but extremely comfortable position.

Honestly I've never gotten hand cramps from the DSlite. I did however use to get them all the time when I had a DS Phat. It had to do with the uneven weight of the Phat itself, made me have to hold it different than the lite does.
