            With our increased accuracy and feather-light touch we will take over the world!

            Or, judging by this thread so far, maybe we already did…

              I must just have heavy fingers, because I’m always accidentally right-clicking. Sometimes left-clicking. I wish the mice I liked had adjustable springs.

              Maybe if I get annoyed enough I’ll steal a spring from another mouse and see if I can double up.

      Same here. I have a long hand, resting my palm on the back of the mouse makes my fingers peek out the front :/

      I’ve used it as long as I can remember. Palm grip just feels weirdly… intimate? And I’m no gamer, tho I respect 'em o7

    I always used fingertip with small hands and never thought it was weird. I just figured out maybe it’s because I played piano growing up? It feels more natural to have a C shape with my hand and space between the mouse and my palm.

      I never played the piano but I use fingertip too. (I also have small hands btw)

    Yep, watch some esports, you’ll see plenty of different postures, mouse grips, keyboard placements, etc

    I guess by that I use fingertip, but I think it’d be more accurate to say that I use palm adapted for big hands.

    The few times that I’ve had a mouse big enough to palm it without my fingers sticking out too far, that’s what I’ve done, and that’s definitely my preference. It’s just that the vast majority of mouses are too small for that.

      I have xxxl hands and still use fingertip. Never get tired. I search for small mice. Why would you want to move your whole arm to come towards you/ down on the screens?

    How do palm gripper move the mouse down? They use their whole arm? I’ve been told I keep my sensitivity high, as I can cross my entire screen top to bottom and left to right without lifting my hand off the desk. Anything else seems much more tiring.

    I just end up using fingertip because all the good mice are too god damned small, but I’d much rather use palm grip

      I did this for ages fighting with various logitech and microsoft mice, always ended up getting cramps in my mouse hand. Eventually landed on the corsair nightsword a few years ago, very comfortable for a full palm grip, highly recommend. Maybe have a look there.

    Palm grip is modeled after charlie kirk hands. My fingers are literally dragging on the table when I grip mine like that.

    I use Palm until my fingers ache and I remember that I need to not grip it like that any more (some of my fingers ache from it), and then I move to fingertip for a while.
