I've noticed that after i play a game of SC, i start feeling my right hand pinky starting to feel tired/sting when its curled while holding the mouse, is this a sign of carpel tunnel? Its funny cuz that pinky never actually clicks on anything...

Seriously though tingling when you stress the joint is a sign of carpal tunnel.

Do you really grip the mouse? I've never had any pain in hands when using a mouse or keyboard for hours and hours. I use very "free flowing" hands/fingers and apply hardly any pressure. I remember when we did guitar years ago at school some people gripped REALLY hard and they ended up getting sore and tired, while I didn't feel a thing.

May or may not help, but you could try relaxing or using a more free flowing mouse grip. My pinky has absolutely no pressure applied to it when I hold a mouse.

This is based on absolutely nothing BTW, except personal experience, but could be worth a shot.

I was hoping this was a thread about pinky and the brain.

Regardless, what do you mean 'curled while holding the mouse'? Do you curl your pink to the side and use the rest of your fingers?

If so as others have said it seems not unlikely that within a tense game you are compressing it and cutting off blood supply.

Hope you manage to figure it out.

The peak of my "Real Life" experience was when I almost kinda beat up a guy 4 years younger than me, (Level 12 noob I was 16) and almost scored with a chick who was almost moderately attractive. Then I realized the game sucked and quit for starcraft

This used to happen to me sometimes with my razer diamondback. I think I had to try positioning the pinky slightly differently while I played bw to avoid getting the problem... but if it happens once or twice it doubtfully is indicative of any major problem. Just rest it a bit.

try stretching it and stuff before/after games. And make sure it's not actually the finger squeezing on your mouse try and use your ring finger for that or something

Try to not use your hand with the pinky problem and relax it by putting ice packs on it.
