Your mouse technique?..

[Andy__C]

uuh.... not sure.

I tend to use my thumb on one side, the tip to control the mouse movement and the upper pad to push the side buttons.... then my little finder and 4th finger to control the other side of the mouse/mvmnt

My Palm touches lightly...

Is this some claw variant?

Claw grip, it's the only way if you want the highest accuracy possible. I used variant of the logitech pilot mouse for the last 10 years going all the way back to quake 2 such as G1, G3 etc only recently moved onto a new claw grip mouse the coolermaster xornet, highly recommended for any pure claw grip games, very light and low LOD.

How large are your hands? This makes a difference. I use the claw grip, purely coz my G5 doesn't suit my monster sized hands.

Claw-grip, palm barely touches and wrist hardly moves, index left-clicks and scrolls, middle right-clicks, and thumb for two side-buttons, when I use them.

Anyone got any handy links to or pics of the different styles?

 

[nitram100]

There is an inbetween called fingertip grip, like a mix of claw and palm.

Claw grip gamers tend to not move their wrist much allowing for very fast twitch movement, whereas palm grip gamers will tend to lift their wrist off the pad.

MX518 + Claw grip - The only thing that moves is my thumb & fingers.

Have you got big hands? Just curious as I had to sell my MX518 and a G5 because when using claw grip, the big butt of the mouse prevented me from using the grip.

Palm grip/Claw grip mix as shown above.

Depends on mouse though, deathadder was palm grip and my g500 i use the mix.

Logitech G5, maximum weight, claw grip, elite skillzzz.

Same, but with a G9x

 

[AndyT]

I'm left handed, but keep MB1 and MB2 the way right handed people use it. I.e middle finger to shoot, first finger to aim down sights. First finger does the scrolling too.

I seem to hold the mouse in my palm most of the time, with my wrist resting on the desk.

 

[Random Guy]

You know what, I have no idea, and now I can't even remember which grip is normal for me!

Have you got big hands?

Yes mate I'm 6ft 5 Massive hands & size 14 & a half feet.

 

[arc@css]

Palm grip, occasionally lifting the mouse up a little when ranging wide.

 

[Frenzy]

Claw grip here, I find it more precise. G9x user.

 

[Semiskimmed]
