What hand position do you use?

I use both claw and palm, its just whatever I feel like using that day, or that moment.

I really dont know what type my mouse is made for, maybe palm because its shorter....

edit: oh this is PC shooters. i'm guessing palm means when you put your palm on the mouse and rest it there, and claw is when you simply put your fingers on it?

on this computer, claw. but i have a small mouse, and if i try to do what i think you mean by palm, my fingers extend over the end of it and i can't click. on my computer at home, palm, cuz the mouse is huge

Palm I think. I can't really imagine me playing with my "claw" ...

i just handle my mouse with my fingers - my wrist stays in one place. can't put my whole hand on a mouse and expect to move it around - just got used to it.

Palm usually. But i don't normaly play with a mouse. I use the laptop's pad. But even then, have my right wrist on the board. So it's sorta palm, though left hand is almost claw.. more like on its's side and hanging over the edge...

I'm more of in between, I my wrist on my desk and the bottom of my palm touches the back of my mouse, then my fingers are arched, but i have a giant mouse, so it's more comfortable that way.

my post remains valid. it depends on how big the mouse is.

Palm, definitely. Claw seems like too much effort.

Hey Im back! Been a while.

I dunno, now that I think about it. Palm is a lot easier for me, but I have to stick my pinky out to the side to make it work. A stabilizer I guess...

I got confused when I saw this thread's title, but then I read further so I pick palm.
For that one game, Counter Strike. Claw takes some skill....

I'm a hybrid rly .. depends on the game I'm playing.

Btw, I'm glad someone clarified what this post was referring to .. I had a different answer in mind to start with *cough*
