All these years I had no idea there was different grip styles.

Claw-

Palm-

Fingertip-

 

[hyduK]

Fingertip.

 

[revolverjgw]

Fingertip. Yup.

 

[DodgyGeezerFella]

Fingertip.

 

[teh_pwn]

Fingertip.

I would think claw people have wrist issues.

 

[erpg]

My Habu uses the same design as the DeathAdder, so yeah. Palm. I do sometimes alternate to claw while browsing the web though.

 

[KuwabaraTheMan]

Palm, of course. I was unaware there were people who held their mouse differently.

 

[someguyinahat]

Mine seems to be more arched than fingertip, but not as arched as claw.

 

[indigo-cyclops]

PALM all the way.

Palm, of course. I was unaware there were people who held their mouse differently.

Same here, it feels so weird any other way!

 

[Jive Turkey]

Palm. The other two feel so uncomfortable.

 

[Konosuke]

Since i have a DeathAdder myself i then to switch from Palm and Fingertip. But for FPS like L4D and CS: Source i use Palm.

 

[bernardobri]

I think I'm around between Fingertip and Claw grip.

 

[Uncle AJ]

Fingertip

 

[Sinatar]

Fingertip.

 

[Red Scarlet]

Half claw, half fingertip.

 

[Konosuke]

Am i doing it right? ; D

 

[I <3 Memes]

Palm. Those other two are just weird.

 

[Complex Shadow]

once you go palm, you are part of the norm.
j/k =P

 

[Wallach]

Somewhere between claw and fingertip I guess. My hand is a little too large for my pinky to rest comfortably with a full palm grip on my MX518.

 

[chixdiggit]

Palm makes the most sense... But I do fingertip.

 

[saelz8]

Something between palm and fingertip.

 

[Nabs]

fingertip

 

[ExMachina]

Palm grip. Another DeathAdder owner here...

 

[Won]

A mix of all three.

 

[JBuccCP]

Fintertip/claw hybrid. I'm like a liger.

 

[Maxirugi]

Depends on the mouse.

Palm for big mice, fingertip for smaller mice.

 

[hbkajshdvfbkjhvgkahsgdfka]

Finger tip for flatter mice, palm for more convex mice (the best mice).

 

[outsida]

Palm

 

[Bebpo]

Fintertip/claw hybrid. I'm like a liger.

same

 

[Josh7289]

Fingertip and somewhere between fingertip and claw. My mouse is a bit small, for what it's worth. Logitech LS1.

 

[alba]

Palm

 

[I NEED SCISSORS]

Fingertip. I use my middle finger to carress the wheel slowly.

 

[mr stroke]

Fingertip.

I would think claw people have wrist issues.

I would think so, but I have been clawing for ever and my wrists are fine

 

[Blackface]

claw/fingertip hybrid.

 

[Draft]

Tigah style.

 

[faceless007]

Fingertip of course. The position of the wheel pretty much dictates it, I always have to hold the mouse so I can scroll the wheel comfortably (so the first digit is resting right on it). I've never understood why they put the wheel as far down as they do.

 

[RumblingRosco]

Fingertip, with my left hand. Note: I'm right-handed.

 

[rohlfinator]

Fingertip.

 

[DJ_Lae]

Fingertip. I'd short circuit my mouse if I palmed it from all the sweat.

 

[Hazaro]

Fingertip, although some of the Logitech mice promote a more palm like grip than others.

 

[pseudocaesar]

I've got big hands so if I use a palm grip my fingertips hang over the edge of the mouse, so fingertip for me.

 

[gillty]

Claw-

+ G9

 

[lowrider007]

Half claw, half fingertip.

Same.

Also I'll use my thumb as a braking system.

 

[AndyD]

Fingertip, although some of the Logitech mice promote a more palm like grip than others.

Yep. My previous Logitech was a perfect palm grip, but my current is a great fingertip grip.

 

[Alex]

Depends how I'm sitting, if that makes sense. Since I mostly use the PC on the couch for multimedia things, I might have the mouse on the coffee table or on the cushion next to me, etc.

But mostly just "the claw" or "palm".

 

[John]

The "fingertip" grip doesn't use the fingertips as much as the "claw" grip. ??

But the picture is what I use. I usually use my index finger on the scroll wheel, which is bad in FPSes, but I do it anyway.

 

[Variable]

I use the fingertip method and I think it's because I want my hand to breath a bit more while holding my mouse, but I've unconsciously always done it and can't really explain why.

 

[Boonoo]

Halfway between a palm and claw with a G9. I also try and keep my wrist off the mouse pad for better range of motion in games with low sensitivity.

 

[Magnus]

Fingertip. I don't feel in control at all using Palm.

 

[FormallyMegadrive]

Fingertip + Claw. Probably leaning more towards fingertip though because my fingers aren't that curled.
