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 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.
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.
depends, i dob't have bigger hands, but it give more accuracy in osu!
Old School Unescape?
Luckily you can always buy a larger mouse.
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.
