TIL I'm a fingertip gripper
It comes from having hands bigger than the mouse. I don't get how taller people can even do palm grip. You would have to click with your finger knuckles.
I don't even have big hands, just regular lady-hand sized. I still don't really get the palm thing, just tried it and it feels so weird! Maybe depends on the shape of the mouse too, since some can be quite a lot taller than others.
I have small hands and still fingertip basically all the time, and I have all my life. I don't use a small mouse either (G502)
I hate how smudgy and uncomfortable it feels to have reduced fine control when my palm comes into contact with the mouse. It feels icky and frustrating. I know plenty of people palm grip with low DPI and big mousepads to achieve fine control, but that seems far more exhausting than just developing stamina in the forearm.
I am not tall but I would say my hand is a bit more than average, about 18 ish cm I would say. I always find palm grip as shown in the picture to be comfortable but the base of my palm firmly rests on the mousepad and the fingers and top part of palm will be on the mouse. Also a reason I can't use a small mouse as the top side of my palm can never rest on the mouse without my fingers going past the keys.
depends, i dob't have bigger hands, but it give more accuracy in osu!
Old School Unescape?
Yeah Im fingertips because of this exact reason. Best mouse I've found so far to counter it is a Razor DeathAdder. I've had a few over the years and even with the model changes the overall size and shape is very constant.
Luckily you can always buy a larger mouse.
No,.that's sadly not an option for many people. Given the rather large variance in hand sizes. A mouse.that.allows my fingers to rest over the switches in the mouse buttons would be almost unusable for smaller hands. That's something manufacturers just will not do.
There aren't any.
I've never seen one large enough, it would have to be like 50% larger than an already large mouse (logitech G602)
Lmao, good luck finding a good mouse that is also big enough. I'm 1.93 with comparable hands, and the typical razer trinity sized mouses are too small, and bigger mouses are just worse.
I guess I got used to the fingertip grip, it isn't tiring at all after spending the whole day working on a PC and the remainder gaming with the same mouse.
BTW, when gaming sometimes I don't even move the hand, only the fingers
Uh, no, you definitely can't. Even the biggest mice aren't big enough for some people.
Ah a fellow fingertip gripper mate

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.
