What is your style

>>713074292 (OP)
I've been trying to do palm since I think it might be? better for wrist pain. But i'm naturally claw

I play with a controller so I can lean back as comfortably as possible in my chair. Fuck mouse and keyboard.

>>713074292 (OP)
I'm holding a thumb trackball upside down in my palm like a titty

>>713074292 (OP)
Somewhere between palm and claw. Mouse is pic related.

claw when browsing the web, and playing offline games, palm for anything competitive

>>713074292 (OP)
I play PC games with a controller.

palm if i have access to a glove, claw otherwise
can't stand the feel of plastic

>>713074510
I also struggled with this exact thing until I got a new mouse. Somehow it made me subconsciously switch to palm.

>>713074292 (OP)
In the middle of palm and claw. I think a better question to ask is how you move the mouse around because people seem to generally move their entire arm around while I rest my wrist on the table and use it as a sort of pivot to move the mouse

>>713074557
>tfw a wheel on my chair broke off so I can't lean back in it

>>713074292 (OP)
My hands are way too large to do palm so I have to do claw

>>713074292 (OP)
Claw, I used to palm but I'm trying to hold things more delicately and gently to lessen the strain on my arm and changing my mouse grip was just part of that
Also reduced my sens
Also started writing with an inky pen that I don't need to press down into paper to get it to write
It's pretty nice desu, I used to death grip everything

>>713074292 (OP)
when im browsing or working its a mix between claw and fingertip. palm when im gaming

>>713074292 (OP)
Claw. Better right/left click response compared to palm

>>713074292 (OP)
Fingertip when browsing
Claw when playing

My hands are fucking huge so it's like a hybrid of claw and fingertip grip

>>713075038
How much do these elevate space sims?

Do you use index or middle finger for the scroll wheel

>>713074292 (OP)
palmfinger
i have smoll hands

Which way, /v/?

>>713075357
Used to do the left, when I tried a Deathadder back in 2011 I was more or less trained to do the right

>>713075357
I'd prefer if the guy on the right jerked me off

Fingertip being I play at a very high sensitivity but the OP pic isn't really finger tip. You don't hold your hand way above the mouse and hover.
Finger tip is basically a looser claw grip without the butt of the mouse hump tucked into and touching your palm. I don't think one style is better than another.
Even if palm seems kind of weird for gaming due to a lack of micro adjustments..

>>713074292 (OP)
The upper part of my palm touches the mouse, but my fingers are not flat against the buttons.

Tried but the mice are all dogshit.
Nothing to do with the grip, just logitech decided that all vertical mice must cap out at 125hz.

>>713074557
i lay my back on pillows against the wall while in bed and have a huge mousepad so i can confortably rest my arm while using the mouse, it's so comfy i easily get sleepy, laptop gaming made me a huge slob and i can never see myself going back to desktop

>>713075304
middle

how do you even get this wrong. index finger for scroll + middle click. its just so natural

>>713074648
this happened twice to me so I just invested in a stupid expensive steelcase chair.

>>713076101
Keychron M5
Literally the best sensor in the world packed into a vertical mouse that can do all the gayming options

>>713076453
but where ring and pinky go
This is the real question that needs answering.

>>713074292 (OP)
fingertip in palm position

>>713075304
Alternate between index, middle, and ring fingers. If I stick to one finger the joint starts to get fucked up.

After moving to pivoting from my elbow for major motions (gotta combat RSI) I switched to palm grip as I found it more comfortable. When I was using your typical wrist destroying movements I was a claw gripper.

>>713076551
nice.
How easy is the middle mouse button to press?

Hmmm... How about a more interesting question. What is your natural position on your left hand on the keyboard? Mine is usually Ctrl+s or just on ctrl all the time

>>713076951
Left handed mouse, so right hand on keyboard.
and I like to live... dangerously.

this is my mouse style

>>713076728
still a bit awkward coming from logi lift
for it not to feel weird they'd have to put it closer to the front

>>713074292 (OP)
Between palm and claw

Halfway between palm and claw with 1300 dpi

>>713074510
Yeah, I'm a less retarded claw as in op's picture and when I do Palm it feels so comfy, but 10 seconds later I' back to ye old claw

>>713074292 (OP)
Claw but only because I think my mouse is too small

>>713076460
If I wasn't a poorfag I'd get a steelcase or herman miller chair yeah, maybe I'll spend my first paycheck on one.

>>713076951
thumb on space, middle finger between esc and S randomly

I use fingertip with a small mouse. These days I'm picking up a controller more than ever for PC gaming.

Palm but I subconsciously claw when I get tilted.

>>713074292 (OP)
Everything other than palm is a mental disorder

>>713075961
>>713078186
we get it, you have small hands

>>713074292 (OP)
Claw and I mostly move the cursor by pushing the mouse back and forth between my fingers most of the time

>>713074292 (OP)
claw because I'm not a manlet with tiny hands

>>713074292 (OP)
Something between palm and claw

the sideways

>>713074292 (OP)
I'm a modified claw

>>713074292 (OP)
i use a vertical mouse btw

>>713075250
A fuck ton.

>>713074292 (OP)
Who the fuck does that fingertip grip
Fingertip grip is literally just the palm grip but with your palm hovering half an inch further back so your palm doesn't get in the way of you moving the mouse using your fingers.

>>713076951
ladies and gentlemen
>the gamer pose

little finger -> thumb
CTRL, A, W, D, Space

Middle finger on left click, ring on right. Middle to utilize the wheel. Left-hand ring finger on keyboard-wheel.

>>713074292 (OP)
My hands are too big, I use a Palm grip but my index&middle finger are Claw.

>>713075990
Is this real?

>>713079557
Are u an alien? You literally fell the bone twisting when you do that position

>>713075990
AHHHH HELP

looking at this picutre made my arm feel werid unless i orient it in the rat pose!!!!!!!!!!!

>>713075990
Does this mean placing the other hand on the keyboard is also unnatural since its the same position?

>>713074292 (OP)
pretty much always been somewhere between palm and fingertip. Claw seems incredibly uncomfortable

>>713074292 (OP)
that is not fingertip grip LMAO

>>713074292 (OP)
Palm and claw depending on the game.
Claw mostly for fps and palm for casual games.

palm, but 98% of my actual vidya playing is with a controller because of the genres i play
but no matter what i'm doing with a mouse whether it's just shitposting, working, or playing a game, it's always palm

pls be in london

>>713074648
If it uses caster wheels (like all modern office chairs do) you can just buy a new set for $20 and replace the faulty one as well as all the other ones, since the chair's original wheels are probably cheap garbage anyway.
You don't even need any tools, caster wheels can just be pulled straight out of the bottom of the chair and new ones pushed in where they were.

>>713080845
are you calling me a jeet or paki or something? no i'm not in london, thank fuck. i'd kill myself if i was in the UK

If you have the opportunity try a big mouse for a while. Palm is comfortable for me but most mouses lack the physical parameters to fill the "inside" of my hand. In practice this means my little finger is useless or actually gets in the way, and if I use it to "hold" the mouse on the right side it elevates my index and middle finger and I unconsciously switch to either claw or a palm-claw hybrid. I've yet to find a mouse that naturally fits but once I do I'll order half dozen the same day to always have a backup in the future.

>>713080921
he's saying the only way you could comfortably palm the tiny egg mouse is if you had tiny hands

>>713081978
unfortunately i do have small hands, but they make my cock look massive in pictures

>>713080901
Unfortunately I'm not that lucky, the part that broke is the thing that held the wheels, it was welded on but poorly, evidently. And before anyone says it, no I'm not fat enough to break steel

>>713074292 (OP)
palm unless I am playing a sniper in a fast paced shooter than I switch to a half-claw.

>>713075990
>dude the bones are crisscrossing ahhhhhhhhhh!
They're supposed to be able to do that, and they can be crisscrossed in the top or bottom picture depending on the angle you view the arm from.

>>713076951
Pinky of shift
Ring finger on S
Middle Finger on D
Pointer finger on F
Thumb on space

I dislike games where I hold ctrl because I like to just push the proximal knuckle of my pinky finger down to hit ctrl. Feel great to hit ctrl doing that but feels awful holding it like that.

>>713074292 (OP)
i use a Cocaine grip on my mouse with some strong tipping

>>713082146
just buy a new base then

How do you set this up?

Might be an option, assuming I can get the old base out

>>713082146
>the part that broke is the thing that held the wheels

Holy Chinesium. Did the whole chair cost $30 or something?

>>713082683
>They're supposed to be able to do that
Yes, but not necessarily held in that position for hours at a time.
>and they can be crisscrossed in the top or bottom picture depending on the angle you view the arm from
Actually untrue.
If you were to view the top picture from above/below, the bones would be visually overlapping, but they'd still be spatially parallel with each other in the sense that the segments which connect to the elbow have an orientation identical to the segments which connect to the wrist.
If you were to view the bottom picture from above/below, the bones would still be crossing each other, both visually and spatially. More specifically, the orientation of the segments which connect to the elbow would be offset 90 degrees from the orientation of the segments which connect to the wrist.

rat > mouse

Palm normally

Claw during a fight in an MMO because I use my mouse for movement mostly (holding both left & right click to move) and keyboard for abilities

>>713074292 (OP)
Had to get one of these. I'm made of tissue and now have severe wrist problems, this is the only reason I can still play MKB. The only problem is nobody really makes good quality gaming versions with the necessary top end specs.

>>713083909
It was a 400€ chair that was discounted, and the one I took was a display model (so no warranty).
The chair situation here is pretty dire.

>>713074292 (OP)
i bounce between them since my mouse is kinda far to the side because my setup is dogshit. if in sniping i tend to do middle since i think its a bit easier on my reflexes

>>713085117
>display model
A physical store?
In my experience (in America) their selection is always pretty shit.
I got my most recent chair on Amazon and it's lasted me a few years so far. The primary reason I went with Amazon is because I wanted a fabric upholstered office chair (genuine leather is expensive and fake leather starts cracking to pieces and flaking off after just a year or two) and for some reason those seem to be incredibly uncommon.

Pincer claw grip

>>713083554
Just walk into a local military base or airport and borrow their flight stick, throttle and rudder pedals from a real fighter jet and retrofit it into your gaming PC. Problem solved.

That's not how fingertip grip works.

I like the Evoluent Vertical's the best for ergonomics but the build quality is mediocre.

>>713085584
this is just fingertip but worse because you can't adjust from the right without doing swiping motions with your whole wrist

>>713075357
Left but without the br*wn hand

>>713076453
That's an intellimouse explorer 3! great mouse

>>713074608

>>713074292 (OP)
>>713075357
Real niggas switch between all of them based on whatever is more comfortable or efficient for gaming at the moment

>>713077242
how decent is this for fps games? i assume it only aims on holding L2 or else every movement would activate it?
