I was thinking about getting one of these or something like it since I have a lot of other hobbies that require finger strength, such as piano, but I’m wondering, do these work for this type of thing, specifically osu!? And for osu!, are there better options? Thanks!

Going to move this to Gameplay & Rankings because it is more of a discussion based question.

For me, I follow this routine in this video and it does works for osu too.

I found about this because a few osu players recommended this when googling for the same thing. It work for any other game of the same nature.

You can give it a try. Do it regularly and whatever considered long enough for you.

Nope. I don't have the money to buy additional things.

I just do hand exercises/stretches for 5 mins, before playing. Occasionally during my free time, I also do while lying on the bed(when there is nothing better to do).

Grip trainers do not help for playing osu! directly. When done in conjunction with other wrist/hand/forearm exercises and stretches, will reduce risk of injury. The only way to get more tapping speed and stamina is by practicing the specific movements patterns involved.

So is it worth picking up? I saw on a website they had some gaming exercises you could do on these but IDK if that would help. https://www.dynatomyproducts.com/exercises/varigrip-sport/gaming/
I also play piano and have a lot of hobbies that I use my hands alot with in general so I'm wondering if this is something worth investing in

So in general, I feel like these could train more than grip since they allow for finger independent exercises. I feel like if anything these will make finger strength training in game run more smoothly?
