9point6, do gaming w People really hold their mouse like that?!

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

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?

I use Palm until my fingers ache and I remember that I need to not grip it like that any more (some of my fingers ache from it), and then I move to fingertip for a while.

I’ve always used claw grip. Just feels the best for FPS.

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

I use claw and fingertip depending on what I’m doing.

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.

Yep, watch some esports, you’ll see plenty of different postures, mouse grips, keyboard placements, etc

These guys started out at small lans with CRT monitors where table space was an issue, so the players started doing stuff like this:

With our increased accuracy and feather-light touch we will take over the world!

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@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.

Frankly this makes that incredibly ugly piece of hardware look really cool. I agree though, whoever thinks this is a bad thing definitely shouldn’t have kids.

Those plates are replaceable plus this looks cool.

They make condoms big enough to fit a PS5?

RampantParanoia2365, do gaming w Play Station

The logo touching the edge and also being cut off gives me worse anxiety than the crayon.

Pons_Aelius, do gaming w Play Station

Looks like the child wants to create.

Buy a shit load of cheap paper and let them have an outlet for their creativity.

penquin,

But they won’t touch those papers, they will still go to the playstation. lol

Pons_Aelius,

Place paper on play station...

dpkonofa, do gaming w Play Station

I don’t get this. I would love it if my kids did that to my PS5. In fact, I might actually have them do it. Custom PS5 that is made specifically for me sounds awesome…

Pons_Aelius,

Also in a few years/decades when you see the drawings it will bring back a flood of memories of when the kid was little.

dpkonofa,

Yeah… and, especially on the PS5, those panels are removable/replaceable. You can always get news ones.

dmention7,

Right? As long as there are no crayons jammed in the disc slot, game on!

I mean, I would definitely give the kids a talk about not drawing on things that are not meant to be drawn on, but better this than the TV or something.

assembly,

I have a pretty high end gaming computer with glass sides and they put stickers on it and draw on it. I think it’s fun. They also put stickers all over the inside of my Jeep which remind me of them. They draw on some walls too and sometimes with me alongside since it’s nothing a future coat of paint and primer can’t fix.

Having kids changes your feelings on material possessions. This is aimed at people who don’t have kids yet.

GraniteM,

Once I assumed that my kid could and would destroy everything that she touched, my outlook on life got a lot better. She’s actually not all that destructive at all, so most of the time I’m pleased with how well she’s doing, and when she does destroy something, I simply acknowledge that the truth I had previously assumed is being confirmed.

Pietson,

I don't have kids and thought it looked cute

AgentGrimstone,

What if it was your kid’s friend

dpkonofa,

Then their parent is buying me new side panels, unless the artwork is good.

RickyRigatoni,
@RickyRigatoni@lemmy.ml avatar

they got side panels with extra cooling vents and RBG. the future of consoles is now.

dpkonofa,

Damn. Love me some Justice Ruth…

I don’t know how I messed that up. In my defense I am a silly goose.

Buddahriffic, do games w The Weekly 'What are you playing?' Discussion

I’ve been playing a bunch of Rogue Tower lately, going for some of the achievements. Finally got sticks and stones, but it was kinda disappointing because I got the polygon mobs instead of the missile ones and looking at the monster information, they are easier. I wanted to see if that setup would have taken on the missile mobs that kept killing me in wave 38 or 39.
