    What mouse grip do you have?

    As the Title says what mouse grip / how do you hold you mouse when gaming?

    listed below are some explanations on what the difference is

    The Palm Grip

    The Claw Grip

    The Fingertip Grip

    I my self is a Fingertip gamer, as I think it is the most precise and fastest method of moving the mouse and still hit target. ( also mentioned in the link )
    also if you feel like it explain why you hold it like you do

    must be the fingertips.

    i only move my fingers at least, when i use my mouse

    no mouse-injuries for me!

    its not of choice, its just something i apparently do.

    The Fingertip Grip, reason? Hm.. my hands aren't small enough for the Palm Grip?

    Edit: Checked again and I'm apparently using the Claw Grip.

    Fingertip! Combined with high sensibility mouse settings I never have to move my hand that way, just wiggle my fingers.

    palm grip.

    my hand fits my logitech mx518 just perfect for that. I get a spasm in my hands when my hand isn't able to lay completely on the mouse. at least after a while. not good for long gaming sessions

    How the hell can you click using the claw grip? That's the most uncomfortable thing I have ever felt. Mix between palm/fingertip for me.

    A simple question of habit I suppose. It's the same way I think the scroll wheel is uncomfortable to use with any other grip

    How can you even control the mouse with just your fingers? If I try to move forward my fingers just fall over the mouse lol. Has something to do with my kind of heavy mouse I suppose ( g5 with extra weights inserted ). I use the palm grip myself.
