The flexNExT is now in limited release!

As a rock climber, the whole potentially-fragile-things-in-your-hands deal is the biggest thing that concerns me about all implants. That said, I actually do have an old experimental Cyberise nfcxLED that @amal said I should really get removed— But I’ve been too lazy/scared to, and have been totally fine climbing for the past ~1.5 years with it.

I feel like this form factor would add significant risk to something like crack climbing, specifically: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NH6V7jWknaM

Just how sturdy is this thing? The tops of your hands frequently get pretty bloody and destroyed from crack climbing, and there’s intense pressure exerted on them.

It also feels weird to me, just looking at the tops of my hands— There’s tendons constantly flexing and popping even as I type this, whereas in the empty thumb-pouch area my implant currently is, there really is… nothing. Thoughts?
