Doesn't stay and it gums up the desk. I actually drilled a screw in the corner of my desk and I wrapped the cord around it with rubber bands, worked great. (but I broke the screw off on accident)

I use fingertip. This is quite interesting, haha, I never really thought about such things before, but I guess everyone does use their mice differently.

They recommend the Lachesis for palm-grip gamers, but it doesn't have the arch support for it. If you use a palm grip, I wouldn't buy a Lachesis like I did. I've been trying to get used to a claw grip by using the mouse at work, but it hasn't been helping since I don't play games or even use the mouse much while working.
Of course, you only live one life, and you make all your mistakes, and learn what not to do, and that’s the end of you.

Well I certainly don't bend my fingers as much as their illustration of the claw grip, but maybe that's just to make a point, or my G5 mouse is bigger than the razer mouse they used ;o

Anyway. Claw I guess.

EDIT: Actually when I move around I guess I kinda do bend my fingers a bit ;o

After checking my hand a few times while browsing it seems like I use all 3. But when I'm playing bw I use something in-between a claw and palm. I use a krait.
No I'm never serious.

I don't move my wrist when I use my mouse. But my palm sticks to the back of my mouse because I maxed my mouse sensitivity.

I guess that makes me a claw

I use all of the types of grips...Although I think that when i played enough for my hand to feel comfortable on the mouse, I used a palm grip.

Fingertips when playing BW, palm for most other things. Seems like how you hold your mouse will to a large degree depend on what mouse you are using and how big your hand is. I would probably use the claw if I had a tiny mouse.

I use fingertip because my hand gets too hot on the mouse otherwise

I use fingertip, probably because I have big hands. I just don't feel comfortable doing palm on my mouse(maybe I need a bigger mouse).

I think I'm clawed, although not as arched as their picture. And how do you move the mouse with your forearm? That's so much more work.
