What kind of Grip do you use on your mouse, and does it differ from game to game?
This has always been very interesting to me, as it has such a huge influence on how you game. For both Comfort and performance.
There are 3 Different types of Grips
Palm Grip
Palm grip is undoubtedly the most popular grip type which takes up more than 50% of the market and this is not limited to gaming.
The popularity of palm grip can be understood for its natural and relaxed way for the hand to be resting on the mouse with the most contact points and support. Mice made to this grip type are usually wider, longer and have a steeper back arch in order to provide the hand with maximum support. Even though they provide a more relaxed position for the hand, palm grip mice tend to suffer in agility and are normally less suitable for games require repeating rapid movements, but ideal for delicate and accurate gliding control.
Claw Grip
Claw grip, even though less popular than palm, has been gaining the liking from gamers together with the RTS and Action-RTS game types that are becoming ever so popular nowadays. As its name suggest, the hand is arched up with less contact points on the mouse, forming a claw like shape. Mice made to this grip type are usually shorter with less aggressive back arch angle but a more agile overall presence.
Compare to the palm grip type mice, claw grip mice are more suitable for fast gliding and provide users the feeling of control when moving fast back and forth across the screen.
Fingertip Grip
Tip grip is the most extreme grip type of the three, with minimal contact points between the hand and the mouse. This type of grip is only using the tip of the fingers to steer the entire mouse in extremely rapid movements with the least restrain of the hand and wrist. Mice chassis made to this grip type tend to be very light, very short and normally with the flattest back arch angle of the three.
Everything about fingertip grip is designed around speed, which it surely excels in. However, due to the minimal contact points and support of the hand, tip grip might not be ideal when the gliding movements are required to be slower, delicate and precise.
I am personally between palm and tip grip, especially because I almost ONLY play FPS games and need both the speed and accuracy with my Roccat Kone XTD, combine that with the right mouse pad for you and it makes a huge difference. I personally love my Razer Golathius Speed Large
