claw palm.

i call it "the warriors calm". maybe i'll get that on some business cards and hand them out at parties.

 

[Salsa]

Mixture of fingertip + palm.

 

[luka]

So wait how does palm work, do you move your whole arm? Wouldn't that make you tired? I think that would make me tired.

Fingertip.

 

[Saige]

Never thought of it but:

Fingertip for anything requiring speed or accuracy
Palm for more laid back sort of stuff

 

[Frawdder]

Fingertip all the way.

The other two feel weird.

Mixture of fingertip + palm.

same

 

[Metalic Sand]

Palm

 

[The Technomancer]

Half claw, half fingertip. I have to, since I have a tiny Targus mouse, its just over two inches long and an inch wide. I can't go back to larger mice though, they feel clunky.

 

[MomoPufflet]

Palm 100%. I hate mice that force me into a claw or fingertip grip-- gives me carpal like no other.

 

[Aon]

Palm because I don't feel at all in control using fingertips. I wonder how much of style is determined by hand size?

 

[Woo-Fu]

fingertip. they don't make mice big enough for me to go palm. The only time for claw is with tiny portable mice.

 

[Pyke Presco]

Another DeathAddered palm user here, its the way the mouse was built and its damn comfortable that way. When simply surfing though it tend to shift towards fingertip.

 

[Akuun]

Palm. Though I have a VX Nano that's too small for Palm so I use Fingertip for that.

 

[ElectricBlue187]

fingertip. I haven't found that the claw really gives you any advantage and my hand is waayyy too big for palm

 

[ipukespiders]

In between my ass cheeks.

 

[Iadien]

Something between palm and fingertip.

Me too!

 

[Davidion]

Fingertip, occasionally claw/palm.

Love my Deathadder, which accommodates all three really well.

 

[Jezan]

Fingertip, I have tried to do the Palm, cause I feel more comfortable, but I can't exert enough force to click on time (and I fail to kill by sniping) so I go back to fingertip.

 

[njr]

Palm, any other way feels as if it takes much more work in any way.

 

[Datwheezy]

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

This. You other people must be aliens.

 

[Einbroch]

Mixture of all three. Slightly arched fingers, knuckles resting on the mouse but not the whole palm.

 

[Haunted]

Fingertip.

Claw looks uncomfortable.

 

[Lolligag]

Palm when I'm browsing the web or just not moving the mouse much.
Fingertips when I'm moving the mouse a lot. I control the mouse movement with my thumb and pinkie finger.

 

[Lotan]

Wheres the "hug" grip. The one where you put the right side of your hand on the table and stretch your fingers over the mouse. It helps with carpel tunnel.

 

[Chris R]

95% of the time I'm a 2 finger palm person, but every now and then 3 finger palm works better depending on the game.

you're slipping GAF

 

[careful]

Fingertip.
I feel like I have more precise controls using my fingers to move the mouse.
I tried palm, but the movement feels too sluggish in comparison.

 

[TheUsual]

Palm. Feels the most comfortable. Once in a while, I'll go fingertip.

 

[StoOgE]

claw, but only because I use an undersized mouse for portability reasons.

 

[red shoe paul]

Claw and Palm combined.

 

[srenity]

Tip and claw here too.

 

[Luigiv]

Fingertip.

 

[rudii]

this is my style

honestly though, somewhere between palm and fingertip feels natural to me

 

[Azure Dream]

Psychic power.

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

That's where I'm at too. And apparently about everyone else in this thread.

 

[BananaBomb]

fingahtip

 

[Gattsu25]

A mix of all three.

same here

 

[bloodforge]

Claw + Palm.

I rest my palm on the back of the mouse and arch my fingers so the tip is on the mouse buttons(not as straight as claw but not as flat as palm).

Should probably be a fourth one called "Arched" or something.

 

[causan]

fingertip

 

[drkOne]

Fingertip.

 

[Cruceh]

fingertip.

 

[NinjaTehFish]

Ginger Frip.....

 

[LCGeek]

Mostly palming or finger tip depending on the game I'm playing. The claw gives me cramps and makes me quit after a hour or two.

 

[capawe]

Palm.

 

[Altazor]

fingertip, although sometimes it's like a derivation of palm.

 

[BloodySinner]

this is my style

 

[markot]

Fingertips!

My palm never even goes near the mouse >.<

But I have a nice wrist gel thingy ^_^

 

[JRW]

Fingertip / Logitech G5

 

[JesseZao]

My wrist doesn't move once I set it down. So I start at palm, retract my fingers into the claw position and then it slides out to fingertip when needed.

 

[markot]

Palm, any other way feels as if it takes much more work in any way.

>_< I think plam makes you have to use your wrist alot more.

Finger tips, you, just move your fingers about, as long as you have the right sensitivity ^_^

 

[Visualante]

Scroll wheels piss me off because of this. I can't do both with my size of hands and that oft highly praised generic MS mouse.
