I used to be a palm grip but when I started playing bw I instinctively transitioned to fingertip grip and even after I stopped playing I use fingertip grip always. I can't even try palm grip, it annoys me.

When watching porn, I fingertip with my right and palm with my left.

I was just thinking about this today. I use palm grip but I was thinking of changing either my grip or my mouse because my hands are big. Too bad the comments on the razer site don't help at all.
Fingertip:
"Since I have huge hands, this is the only comfortable way to hold the mouse for me. I use medium sense in Windows and in shooters; about 20cm for a 360° turn."

“I hold the mouse with the tips of my fingers. I have tiny hands and I guess it’s easier to grip the mouse this way.”

Does anyone use their middle finger for mousewheel and ring finger for right mouse button? I was thinking of trying it out but even with my logitech mouse my middle finger is way too long.

fingertip

for example, I use a mouse at work that rests on the table. Most co-workers can't use it because the table is too reflective and their normal method of "mouse movement" makes it uncomfortable. However, with my fingertip control I can compensate for any inaccuracies caused by the table surface reflecting and I have NO PROBLEMS! It's very... dynamic...

SC has made me uber pro at mouse control.. how does this reflect on my sex life? Poorly...

I really wanted a bigger opponent, like Nate Marquardt, or King Neptune, or Zeus, or Zeus and Fedor, or Fedor on Zeus's shoulders, and they can both punch but only Zeus can kick.

Fingertip Fatigue and learning curve for better precision and agility? No brainer.

Claw. Never really thought about it, it just felt natural.

Probably a hybrid between palm and claw. I do have big hands, but then again, I also have a big mouse. So it kinda mixes between.

I had fingergrip when I used to use rodent mouse. I've switched to trackball mouse and it resembles clawgrip more.

same mouse but fingertip here!
i actually had to check.. it just seems natural to hang like that, palm restricts too much movement and claw is gonna tire out your fingers no? keeping them up like that..

I have a really tiny mouse ~4-5 inches long so I use fingertip.

With the fingertip grip, users will experience the most amount of hand fatigue as there are now only five points of contact with the mouse, and the user will be required to use more effort in controlling the stability and precise movements of the mouse.

The fingertip grip also requires the highest learning curve for most users, as the exaggerated arched fingers and increased amount of control over the mouse needs to be practiced.

These are some interesting claims..
I don't find fingertip grip fatiguing at all. o.O
Plus, it's what I thought was the most natural way to grip a mouse as soon as I started playing games.
