# When making intense movements with Magnetra + ContactGlove

If you move the Glove vigorously with fingers removed from the Magnetra's control panel or when the Magnetra is released, there is a risk of the Magnetra's magnetic latch hinge coming off.

# For applications without accompanying input operations (e.g., dance)

Remove the Magnetra or detach it and use the existing input module.

# For applications with accompanying input operations (e.g., games)

Mount the Magnetra, place your thumb on the Joystick or button, and lightly grip the module with your thumb and index finger side.
