![]() I question where you're coming up with this statistic. Only in the past 5 years or so has 'grip' even been so rigorously attempted to be identified/homogenized and most pros probably don't know or care what other people think the way they hold their mouse should be labeled. A lot of these pro players are good because of how well their brains can take in all of that information and make it work.įor a large portion of people they couldn't care less what their grip is defined as. The probably haven't need to switch or even attempt it because having good in game performance is not soley based on your aim, but on your decision making and game sense, you communications skills and in game tech like nade positions and tech jumps. Don't believe me? Try to fingertip 90+ gram mice, it' weird and awkward at times. ![]() Most mice were too heavy, I think honestly this is the only time ultra lightweight mice really help out a lot, because your fingertips are having to put far less strain into moving the mouse or balancing the weight between them. It'd look ugly as sin but for a fingertip mouse it'd probably be perfect for me. So imagine an Outset AX for example, with the same sides, clicks, etc, but the hump is much smaller, and the rear of the mouse is shortened further. To get a good Fingertip mouse you'd basically need to take a familiar shape and cut off any part of the back that makes contact with your palm. Most shapes out there suck for it, they're more Palm or Claw oriented. My honest theories on this are as follows And he's playing a slow paced game where fingertip might not really offer an advantage so most pros use either claw or palm in that game. The only pro I know of who uses fingertip is scream, which is actually quite an outlier even for fingertippers because he likes fingertipping an ergo mouse. He's a top ranking player but might not be considered pro since he doesn't compete in ALGS. ![]() The range of motion advantage it has over other grips might not be as important to pros vs the stability and consistency the other grips offer.Įven on fast paced games where fingertip might be advantageous, pros still tend to either claw or palm. So it brings me to the thought that maybe the advantages of fingertip grip is not really that useful in the top levels of competition. ![]() And if fingertip grip is actually as good as people say, then it makes sense for these pros to try and use that to gain an advantage. I've watched several interviews of how some pros came about their grip, and the answer is usually "well I just hold the mouse the most comfortable way possible." I find it quite ironic because these guys squeeze every amount of minuscule performance gain from their machines to gain a slight advantage over their competition. Correct me if I'm wrong, but it seems that most pros across a different FPS categories use either claw or palm grip. ![]()
