Never seen it either. Seems to work okay though, except that using the mouse wheel is a bit awkward.

I've heard of someone holding it the same but the mouse turned towards the keyboard not away.

I think my wrist would hurt from that position

Maybe it is and OP purposely titled this blog so that there's a higher chance of people agreeing with him.

thinking about this blog set off a light bulb.
in this thread http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=326234 , he talks about things that make a stream popular, and one of them things is "unique". so i think my next question would be, would anyone watch a masters player (almost there, high dia atm) with a cam on his mousehand like this! haha. not that i'll do it, but a fun idea nonetheless.

at the very least keeping me busy until ipl site gets fixed.

wat

do you have extremely large hands? it doesn't really seem comfortable otherwise.

maybe you will become a bonjwa. you what they say. the greatest swordsman doesn't fear the second greatest swordsman. he fears the fisherman that has never picked up a sword before.

high dia atm. but my progress in the game has been real slow, so i'd count out the bonjwa theory lol

my hands are a little bigger than average, but nothing huge.

edit: im sure being left handed had some small part in me grabbing a mouse like this the first time.

Is that a G400?

If so, that's got to be one of the earlier models that had angle snapping in the firmware.

Try that on a mouse without drift control or angle snapping and I think you'd be pulling your hair out.

Is this a really bad joke or something? You commented on the blog twice, obviously you can click on it? And the grip doesn't change how hard it is to click on something? Looks like both your posts were just attacks on the OP, but he still wins cause you brought views to his blog?

So confusing.

Ahh, your hand is in the way in the shot.

Either way, this looks like a fantastic way to give yourself carpal tunnel.

I think adding a 'mouse-cam' alone is kind of unique, not to mention your weird ass grip. I have seen Grubby and WhiteRa do something similar (I think they just show keyboard). And, you'd have to be at least mid-Masters for people to care to tune in, imo.

Wait, what? Is using your index finger to scroll weird? I hold my mouse normally, but I scroll with my index finger (always have).

Yea.... I do this too. Are you supposed to use the scroll wheel with your middle finger?

Unreal...do you get flustered when you play late game macro games? Seems like it'd be very unstable. Do you surf the net like that too?

You're maybe the next foreigner hope !
Naniwa is right handed but uses his mouse on his left hand. ^^

It's definetly weird but you shouldn't care if it works for you and if you're fast enough and your clicks are accurate.
Check out the Day[9] Daily where he talks about mechanics and look if you can imitate what he does (boxing, clicking units individually ...etc).

I don't know your league but if you feel that you can't get promoted because of your mechanics think of eventually train with a different 'grip' like the "palm grip". It's always better to change quickly, the longer you wait the harder the change will be.

since ive been using it this way for so many years, im probably better off just staying this way. im left handed, so my right hand dont adjust quickly.

im high diamond atm, but my apm is low, and my mouse speed isnt fast, so the thought has crossed my mind that that could be the reason
