How do you hold your mouse?

[Vicious Horizon]

I hold mine with Thumb on side, Index on the LMB, middle on the RMB and ring/little on the other side, giving a high strength/manueverability ratio on the side.

However, Retarkuna has a really wierd grip.

Thumb on side, index finger on LMB, middle finger on the scroll wheel /at all times/, and ring finger on the RMB, with little finger on the other side.

Which gives no strength on the mouse.

And he's wierd.

And doesn't believe me that he's wierd.

Weirdo.

Real men hold put their index finger on LMB, middle finger on MWHEEL and ring finger on RMB. Little finger & thumb balance and control the movement of the mouse.

Lol kat wtf?

You hold a mouse with the thumb to the left (lots of mice these days are designed with that in mind, i.e mouse 4/5 on the thumb), index finger on left button and middle finger on the right button.

I mainly use a trackpad.. but when gaming I use a mouse with my thumb gripping the side, and my index finger on the lmb, and my middle finger over the rmb... using the middle finger for the middle button/scrolling if necessary.

I just poke my index finger and middle finger through the middle:

:D I do the same as Chaz.

Fingertip grip for me

[Vicious Horizon]

In more detail, mine tends to change depending on Context, for high accuracy I'll switch to my fingertips, keep my wrist planted and move the mouse using only my fingers (supah high sensitivity ftw), but for looking around / casual use, full palm and finger length.

Is internet dating nerdy? I was of the understanding that lots of people did it regardless of computer prowess.

Ive never really thought about it, i seem to have a hybrid between the 'claw' and 'fingertip'

Seems a strange thing to discuss but i suppose you could compare it to how a Tennis player holds a racket, can make a difference to speed and response :S
