Which mouse grip do you use?
Claw over here, I find I get the most control with it for FF and Quake with my Logitech G400.
How about you? |

I kinda claw/palm hybrid. I feel like I'm more of a palm guy. But I use a naga and some of the buttons aren't a very comfortable reach with just palming it. But using claw usually leads to me hitting buttons on accident. Like my health bind.

Same here Elmo, i hold it in my hand and press with my fingers. It's very similar to "feeding the pony" but the other way round.

I use the "feed the pony" grip it's a mixture of all 3 with lots of quick short movements of the middle finger.

When I had my old MS Intellipoint mouse, I used the palm grip, but I used the fingertip method with my MX518 because my fingers are too long for the palm method.
For my keyboard, I used the directional arrows to move(thumb = left/right/down) delete for jump, \ for crouch, backspace for gren1, = for grn2, end for +use, pgdn for reload, insert for walk and ] is the only key I use to switch weapons. Last edited by KubeDawg; 05-07-2012 at 08:11 PM. |

I'm trying to shift to a fingertip grip. Slow but sure process. A lot of Quake players use a claw grip for more rapid mouse movements/control (such as flick rails), but these cramps are getting to me... |

lol....
Well in that case it's more palm grip with my Sensei but other mice I've had to fingertip it. I've found Bullys method of feeding the pony to be more pleasurable |

I think if you're consciously thinking about it you're doing something wrong or have a conflicting mouse shape

Finger palm. The pack of my palm rests slightly on the back of the mouse, but doesn't really support any of the weight. If they still made razer boomslangs I'd be all about the palm.
Tiny handed 5 year olds like Cypher like the claw. Fatal1ty-XD used palm. Last edited by the_cake; 05-11-2012 at 01:52 AM. |
