Aha! I did a search and found the old mouse I used to use:

http://www.amazon.com/IBM-06P4069-Optical-Scroll-Mouse/dp/B00009YUPY/ref=pd_bxgy_e_img_c

I shall be a claw grip once again! Soon! When I get mail!

when i read the options i thought i was clearly a palm user.

but then when i read the comments about having to 'move your forearm/palm' to move the mouse i was very confused. why would anyone use the mouse in such a way that they'd have to move their palm? that's stupid.when i read the options i thought i was clearly a palm user.

but then when i read the comments about having to 'move your forearm/palm' to move the mouse i was very confused. why would anyone use the mouse in such a way that they'd have to move their palm? that's stupid.

so then i actually watched my hand as i moved the mouse around the screen and realized that since my palm stays in one place and i only move it with my fingertips that it would make me infact not a palm user.

so i'm just like the majority - somewhere in between fingertip and claw. i'd say the right side of my hand more acts like my 'palm' as i tilt the mouse slightly to the left and the right side is in contact with the mouse about 50% of the time.

This is pretty interesting.

I use a claw grip but never knew I did. Kinda interesting that almost 50% so far uses fingertip.

What ITS CALLED TAPE YO lol

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)

So you don't wanna mark your desk with tape which you can clean off with alcohol, but instead opt to drill holes into it

Claw / Fingertipps.. depending on Mousesize :p.

My Hands are big, I can't even use *palm* on normal mouses because my Finger overlap by a huge amount if I try.


I stopped buying gaming mouses some time ago... I know just buy light and small ones from Logitech. Much better than the often monstrous gaming mouses (I liked them also but I was even slower than I already am, I never was that fast but very exact so I don't need to fortify my slowness by handling a big/heavy mouse ^^)...


Got this one at the moment and it's the best mouse i had in a long time:

but with cord.

When I used to use a mouse, I switched between palm and fingertips.

When browsing the internet, I use palm grip. When playing an FPS I use fingertip. If I'm doing some random speed test mouse game I use claw.


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


Opposite for me. It's hard using a right handed mouse with your left hand.

I hope you are a girl or you masturbate in a very painful way...

It's a trackball. Welcome to computers.

Ontopic: I'm claw grip hybrid... I change my grip unconsciously during the game, and whether it's a fps or rts.
