Would the use of grippers/handgrips help in osu?

So, I just recently found my old grippers because I had the brilliant idea to search for them just now [they look sort of like this, if you are not aware what they are called - I didn't before I searched for the term]:

That's why I got curious whether using them every once in a while would help with my keyboard use in osu (tapping, streaming, general ability to hit). I have it currently next to my PC so it wouldn't be a bother to find them to use them either, heh.

Has anyone here ever tried to use them? If so, did it help you in any way?

I haven't tried this, but I can imagine it increasing stamina. I don't think it would increase your accuracy, though. Try it and find out

hey

I think there used to be someone who swore by these, but he doesn't play anymore

also I can make you avatars if you ask nicely :^)

Hmm. I sometimes have troubles tapping (usually in fast maps, single taps or not, my index finger just locks out sometimes) though so I guess it helps with accuracy by allowing me to tap the key in the first place. I believe training with this would also help my streaming speed - I can currently stream ~200-220 bpm without it being too hard.
