Palm grip vs. Claw grip

[theflyincupcake]

I actually use both. I'm using the Logitech MX518 (with the asus cover on the back). and its honestly the best mouse i've ever tried and I've tried a lot of "amazing gaming mice" even though it looks big and clumpy, it fills my hand perfectly.

I was in the same boat you are a couple years ago. I loved my Logitech G9's... I had 3 of them over the course of years, but the clicks were just too soft. Finally went with the Zowie AM, which was a shocker for me because of how big it is length wise. It took me a bit but I finally got used to it to the point that the mouse doesn't pinch my palm skin anymore (that was annoying).

i'll let you know how i like this one when it comes, comfort wise. all the reviews i read say it was a pleasant surprise for the price. the one i'm getting is the slightly more expensive one for $40 (up to 3500 dpi, optical), there's a cheaper one for $30 (2000 dpi). i prefer optical because they seem to generally work better on cloth surfaces which is all i use. i don't mind that they're cheaper either.

Oh yes definitely optical is the way to go for me as well, that's why I went with the Zowie. I tried out one of Cooler Masters earlier peripherals, and had a bad time though. Cheaply made, equivalent of a Razer product, and mouse1/2 were soft as well. Hopefully they stepped their game up though.

AM I THE ONLY ONE AROUND HERE WHO GAMES WITH A PALM GRIP?...

that would explain my crappy accuracy... and overall "freaking out of control" mouse sprays...
or does it?


G700 is probably the best mouse i've ever had.
closely followed by G500.

The only thing that bugged me with G500 is that its wire was TOO thin... and it guaranteed fucking up a few months later... Then again, a very very thick cord on G700 is was made me get my own micro usb cord for my g700... a tad thinner.

There's always gonna be complaints man, but I personally keep my wireless usb receiver always blugged in my laptop, and i play with usb cable on. i just love the dual wielding of it... i can just disconnect the mouse at any time, fall back and work on my bed... and then reconnect and go back to playing.

I use a Mionix NAOS 8200 and it is MASSIVE. Personally I use palm grip for general usage and claw grip for aiming and fast clicking.

G500 here, mix of palm and claw. MX518 still the best mouse I ever owned based on pure comfort, but I needed better DPI so went G500

Using Palm grip with my Logitech Optical Gaming Mouse G400.

Have my mousepad near the edge of the desk while resting my wrist between the end of mouse pad and desk edge and the rest of my arm on the armrest. Comfortable and easy to aim with.

palm grip always with my razer naga. love this little mouse. fits my hand perfectly. would never think of switching.

Depends on how active i am in the game. Normally i use palm grip but switch to claw when i try a bit more... i feel bad since all i use is a generic Logitech mouse ;-;
