AceFuzzLord, do gaming w People really hold their mouse like that?!

I’ve been using the fingertip grip when I lay in bed since I ain’t got a proper desk. Otherwise I use more of a palm grip when sitting up and using my mouse on the stand I use to hold my monitor.

  • Kase,

    I’ve used it as long as I can remember. Palm grip just feels weirdly… intimate? And I’m no gamer, tho I respect 'em o7

    Claw… My hands are too goddamn big…

    How do palm gripper move the mouse down? They use their whole arm? I’ve been told I keep my sensitivity high, as I can cross my entire screen top to bottom and left to right without lifting my hand off the desk. Anything else seems much more tiring.

    RogueBanana,

    Pretty much yes but moving your arm by a little isn’t really that hard and can be done without lifting your elbow. I don’t find it tiring even after a full day of usage but maybe I am just used to it.

    Willy,

    I’ve never had a setup where my elbow was on the desk. Maybe that’s part of the difference? All very interesting

    You move your mouse without moving your arm? Like do you just use your wrist or something?

    Willy,

    Just using my fingers. I use a mouse with enough space between my palm and the back of the mouse.

    My ex was a claw gripper when we met, but thankfully she learned the palm method, which really was most-comfortable for long sessions.

    mnemonicmonkeys,

    Except it’s not, it’s all subjective to the individual. Congrats, you manipulated your partner for no reason.

    I use a thumb ball mouse FUCK YOUR GRIPS.

    CohortCzort,

    Love my ergo, only way my mucked up hands can even use the computer anymore.

    areyouevenreal,

    I use a finger trackball. I have no idea how that grip fits in here.

    TIL that I have no idea how I hold my mouse, it’s just happens. I suspect I switch style based on what I do.

    Or, judging by this thread so far, maybe we already did…

    SheeEttin,

    I must just have heavy fingers, because I’m always accidentally right-clicking. Sometimes left-clicking. I wish the mice I liked had adjustable springs.

    Maybe if I get annoyed enough I’ll steal a spring from another mouse and see if I can double up.

    JustEnoughDucks,
    @JustEnoughDucks@feddit.nl avatar

    It comes from having hands bigger than the mouse. I don’t get how taller people can even do palm grip. You would have to click with your finger knuckles.

    oolio,

    Luckily you can always buy a larger mouse.

    Norgur,

    No,.that's sadly not an option for many people. Given the rather large variance in hand sizes. A mouse.that.allows my fingers to rest over the switches in the mouse buttons would be almost unusable for smaller hands. That's something manufacturers just will not do.

    MangoPenguin,
    @MangoPenguin@lemmy.blahaj.zone avatar

    I’ve never seen one large enough, it would have to be like 50% larger than an already large mouse (logitech G602)

    fushuan,

    Lmao, good luck finding a good mouse that is also big enough. I’m 1.93 with comparable hands, and the typical razer trinity sized mouses are too small, and bigger mouses are just worse.

    I guess I got used to the fingertip grip, it isn’t tiring at all after spending the whole day working on a PC and the remainder gaming with the same mouse.

    BTW, when gaming sometimes I don’t even move the hand, only the fingers

    AnUnusualRelic,
    @AnUnusualRelic@lemmy.world avatar

    There aren’t any.

    Perfide,

    Uh, no, you definitely can’t. Even the biggest mice aren’t big enough for some people.

    TeaHands,
    @TeaHands@lemmy.world avatar

    I don’t even have big hands, just regular lady-hand sized. I still don’t really get the palm thing, just tried it and it feels so weird! Maybe depends on the shape of the mouse too, since some can be quite a lot taller than others.

    Vilian,

    depends, i dob’t have bigger hands, but it give more accuracy in osu!

    I have small hands and still fingertip basically all the time, and I have all my life. I don't use a small mouse either (G502)

    I hate how smudgy and uncomfortable it feels to have reduced fine control when my palm comes into contact with the mouse. It feels icky and frustrating. I know plenty of people palm grip with low DPI and big mousepads to achieve fine control, but that seems far more exhausting than just developing stamina in the forearm.

    Selmafudd,

    Yeah Im fingertips because of this exact reason. Best mouse I’ve found so far to counter it is a Razor DeathAdder. I’ve had a few over the years and even with the model changes the overall size and shape is very constant.

    RogueBanana,

    I am not tall but I would say my hand is a bit more than average, about 18 ish cm I would say. I always find palm grip as shown in the picture to be comfortable but the base of my palm firmly rests on the mousepad and the fingers and top part of palm will be on the mouse. Also a reason I can’t use a small mouse as the top side of my palm can never rest on the mouse without my fingers going past the keys.

    simple,

    Same here. I have a long hand, resting my palm on the back of the mouse makes my fingers peek out the front :/

    anewbeginning,

    Same. And it doesn’t tire me at all. I imagine it depends on how big your hands are.

    I guess by that I use fingertip, but I think it'd be more accurate to say that I use palm adapted for big hands.

    The few times that I've had a mouse big enough to palm it without my fingers sticking out too far, that's what I've done, and that's definitely my preference. It's just that the vast majority of mouses are too small for that.

    Willy,

    I have xxxl hands and still use fingertip. Never get tired. I search for small mice. Why would you want to move your whole arm to come towards you/ down on the screens?

    tehnomad, do gaming w People really hold their mouse like that?!

    I always used fingertip with small hands and never thought it was weird. I just figured out maybe it’s because I played piano growing up? It feels more natural to have a C shape with my hand and space between the mouse and my palm.

    BuboScandiacus,
    @BuboScandiacus@mander.xyz avatar

    I never played the piano but I use fingertip too. (I also have small hands btw)

    Yttra, do gaming w People really hold their mouse like that?!

    I just end up using fingertip because all the good mice are too god damned small, but I’d much rather use palm grip

    boomer478,

    I did this for ages fighting with various logitech and microsoft mice, always ended up getting cramps in my mouse hand. Eventually landed on the corsair nightsword a few years ago, very comfortable for a full palm grip, highly recommend. Maybe have a look there.

    Plibbert, do gaming w People really hold their mouse like that?!

    Palm grip is modeled after charlie kirk hands. My fingers are literally dragging on the table when I grip mine like that.

    atocci, do gaming w People really hold their mouse like that?!

    I've never thought about this before, I guess I use fingertip though. I just kinda move the mouse around using mostly my thumb and pinky finger.

    I just realized I don’t know how I hold y mouse.

    I use claw because nothing since the G9x has been big enough to do otherwise
