TIL I’m a fingertip gripper
Ah a fellow fingertip gripper mate
Fingertip grippers unite!
Tunnel SnakesFingertip Grippers rule!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 :/
Same. And it doesn’t tire me at all. I imagine it depends on how big your hands are.
I use a thumb ball mouse FUCK YOUR GRIPS.
Trackpoint ftw 😁
Show me your nipple!
i plug my motor cortex directly into the USB port
I use a finger trackball. I have no idea how that grip fits in here.
AhhhhHello fellow Vertie!
Never going back
One of the most comfortable mice out there.
Do you use this mouse for gaming? I love vertical mice for work but never had the courage to try it for gaming
I thought it wouldn’t work and kept the old mouse on standby on my desk for gaming but after a little while it was left gathering dust. It works surprisingly well and finally trained me to use the thumb buttons as the MX Vertical lacks a rocking wheel for back/forward.

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
This is a professional Counter Strike player called Device.
These guys started out at small lans with CRT monitors where table space was an issue, so the players started doing stuff like this:
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.
Pretty much yes but moving your arm by a little isn’t really that hard and can be done without lifting your elbow. I don’t find it tiring even after a full day of usage but maybe I am just used to it.
I’ve never had a setup where my elbow was on the desk. Maybe that’s part of the difference? All very interesting
You move your mouse without moving your arm? Like do you just use your wrist or something?
Just using my fingers. I use a mouse with enough space between my palm and the back of the mouse.
TIL that I have no idea how I hold my mouse, it’s just happens. I suspect I switch style based on what I do.
Claw… My hands are too goddamn big…
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?
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 claw and fingertip depending on what I’m doing.
I use claw because nothing since the G9x has been big enough to do otherwise
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.
