Background:

Smartphones have profoundly impacted gaming behaviors.
Understanding diverse gaming device usage patterns is crucial for studying Internet gaming disorder (IGD).

Purpose of the Study:

To explore gaming behaviors and clinical characteristics across different gaming device usage patterns.
To determine the role of these patterns in Internet gaming disorder (IGD).

Main Methods:

An online survey collected data on demographics, gaming habits, and addiction scales.
Participants were classified into five gaming device usage patterns.
Statistical analysis examined associations between patterns and clinical characteristics.

Main Results:

Combined users, particularly those with even computer and smartphone game usage, showed higher prevalence of IGD, depression, anxiety, and substance use disorders.
Evenly balanced users were more prone to IGD than computer-only gamers (OR = 1.579).
Smartphone-only gamers exhibited the lowest IGD prevalence and addiction scores, with minimal time and money spent on gaming.

Conclusions:

Gaming device usage patterns are significantly associated with the occurrence and prognosis of Internet gaming disorder (IGD).
Mixed-device gaming, especially balanced usage, presents a higher risk profile for IGD and comorbid conditions.
Targeted interventions may need to consider specific gaming device usage patterns for effective IGD management.
