Tiny handed 5 year olds like Cypher like the claw. Fatal1ty-XD used palm.

Haha if you're bored check out the way dem0n (Quake) holds his mouse, it's weird as hell.

Anyone else have their palm rested on the edge of their desk? I would assume this wouldn't work too well unless the edge of the desk was rounded. I used to have my whole forearm on my desk using my mouse but progressively have moved it further and further back until just my palm sits on the desk. Each time I've moved my mouse a bit further back, I've felt the need to increase my mouse sensitivity in game as well.

I'm kind of gradually shifting to a palm-esque pony fingertip walla walla washington grip by this point, though I used to rest my palm on my desk before I picked up my mousepad. Now that I have my mousepad resting my palm on it won't do.

You say you used to use your forearm more -- do you primarily use wrist flicks for rapid movement/turning in general now? Works for some, doesn't work for others.

Wait, if by grip you really mean...

...and by hand you are trying to say is...

...and by claw what you're referencing is...

...and when you say fingertip you really mean...

...and when you palm it you're really...
