Mouse grip

No, I'm not here to ask how to hold a mouse in your hand. I'm here to wonder am I a unique guy when it comes to mouse grip. I mean I have middle finger all the time on the scroll and then my ring finger all the time on mouse2. Is there anyone else having the same grip?

Usually people have the following grip I guess:

I hold it the same way, can't imagine anyone holding the middle finger on mouse2 :p

EDIT: LOL, just noticed I'm the only freak in my office holding the mouse like you and I do. Everyone else holds it like on the picture. ....

so if your middle finger is almost all time on scroll use close and long cfgs :D i bet it does fit for your gaming style.

index on mouse1, mid on mouse2, other fingers floating on sides; not touching mousepad but hold on the mouse. elbow totally not like in pic, its relaxed and vertically lower than mouse, bicep part of hand is very upright.

True that, but i've been playing like that for ages. Tried to play like everyone with sprint on SHIFT but I hated it. It changed my whole gamestyle and as of now I don't want it to change. I guess it could improve my aim a bit but I like the feeling I have with my mouse (this sentence sounds weird when you read it... xD)

I guess this is called the claw grip, which I use. Is not the most accurate grip but somehow I feel I can aim easily to the head, coz I am trying to move up the head... like a bit snappy

That would be a total disaster for me since I would be selfkilling myself all the time by accident:P

You must be referring to karnaj. Although he doesn't play inverted but his mouse grip his really weird. Instead of holding to the outside (hand positioned to the right), he's holding it to the inside, which is quite weird.

nah man was talking about a guy i used to play pub with

he even played ET with a joystick once when his mouse was broken, didnt do half bad huhu :D

that grip seems sorta uncomfy tho, must be an odd mouse or a few broken bones grown back together shoddily :D
