Aim like ScreaM with his Mouse Grip

The claw fingertip grip is one of the most difficult mouse grips to master, but it's the most versatile. Here's a full breakdown of the claw grip of ScreaM, one of the best aimers in all of FPS gaming.

His jiggle strafe is also insane. He is able to counter-strafe quick enough whenever he makes a shot

[@lakowo2170]

I've been waiting for this, and finally, the clawtip that I am looking for.

[@FPSscript]

I’ve been waiting for this!!

[@brandongonzales3785]

The fact that your intro has no sound at all, always makes me think there is something wrong with the audio on my computer or headphones 😂

[@ScaRUS012]

Thank you for this video I've been waiting for this video :)

[@tohidbehboodi501]

thanks mate i was waiting for this for a long time

[@SA1YAJIN]

I've been practicing to be like ScreaM. Thanks a lot! Now I know how to grip like him. Practicing my self to rely only on wantaps not on spray and its been great!

[@basvhout]

Ron can you do Zywoo's grip and arm position? I feel like he's one the few palm grip users that has such insane aim.

[@Funerall]

Yes we need this :)

[@AASENPAI]

Agreed, would love to see that

[@VivaLaRazsa]

zywoo purposefully lifts up his wrist from the pad. I think this allows him to do lightning fast flicks cause there is no unnecessary friction.

[@D4VIEES]

Pleasssse

[@igotsickieatlight]

@@VivaLaRazsa its not on purpose for sure its just people play like this. If your positions or mousegrips need to be forced then you do it wrong because you wont be able to focus on the game

[@mikethekidd_]

every time i see it, i can never get over that last clip man. thats just so savage

[@RAJJU24]

and what about that one tap on dust 2 from mid to ct? the aster was saying "ct side is their better side and the t side is where they really struggle"

[@mikethekidd_]

@@RAJJU24 YES BRO i was gonna say i was so disappointed it wasnt in this video. Thats my all time favorite 1 tap. Soooo clean

[@VivaLaRazsa]

I love how half of the comments are arguing if he is using claw or fingertip grip. These terms are only useful when you describe a grip without a picture or video. Grips are way too unique to describe them with a combination of 3 categories.

[@RonRamboKim]

Yes exactly

[@chase6994]

@Ma Roo lol. what a bout it makes it a cow? do u make ur hand into a hoove? lmao

[@2137xd]

@Genius Yes thanks for that username

[@sharpshooter3287]

@Genius Yes made my day with your "cow" grip. LMAO

[@urbuddi9517]

I used to grip like that, never knew scream did

[@shravankamble9]

[@seanhsieh6158]

Happy new year everyone!

[@drew-re3uo]

Just wanted to say love the content keep it up Rambo

[@lucalavore5640]

i actually have had this kind of mouse grip naturally for 2 years, and it's still challenging for me to master it out, but when it comes to good plays from me, they look like they've been done by pros

[@Sum1Better]

Even with the notification bell I'm just getting to shown this video now

[@user-fd2cd8yo8w]

Amazing skill. Not going to achieve that, will still try the claw grip

[@minhngo8641]

thank you so much Ron. I improved so much in csgo.

[@AmirLam]

Awesome tips 👍👍👍👍👍

[@KidChy]

Ahhhh new upload! :3

[@nucleardrifting3864]

I think that the way that I grip the mouse is as if there was a mouse under my hand the same way as it is resting normally. The right hand is almost flat but the left side is raised, almost like a mountain cliff face landscape.

[@MisamHunnan]

I love your grip videos. Thanks.

[@MisamHunnan]

btw: i think most of screams hs, didnt come from aim, but from crosshair placement. there are so many kills he just clicks, without having to move

[@tacomn]

@@MisamHunnan yes and no. His little tiny micro adjustments is aided from his grip, and this is why he had such good preaim chrosshair placement always.

[@aether-s2842]

ScreaM uses fingertip

[@achilles7736]

NAAAISE! Thanks :D

[@anshajmathur7997]

This was great! Can you do Subroza's aiming style and how he arm aims?

im using his exact grip for 4 years,just realized his now

[@dniedbyalstategaming4737]

I played in cal-invite when rambo was on 3D. our team never came close beating them. Rambo is god

[@user-vw4gl6gs7p]

I feel like the newest newbie of FPS as i watch this video.

[@Sandro1dd]

I did not copy Scream's grip or settings, but i have the exact same mouse sensitivity, same posture of sitting and same mouse grip(only thing different is those one taps which is the only thing i am working from past 20 days) What a coincident!!!!!!!!

[@breadsticksngl3888]

You straight copied don’t tell me you didn’t

[@Sandro1dd]

Nope

[@saqenocturne9769]

Sandroid Or maybe u wanna convince yourself that u didnt copy him so u think that u will be as good as him.

[@Sandro1dd]

@@saqenocturne9769 At starting I used 2400edpi (due to crap mouse unable to track at fast velocities) but when I got a new one, I searched a little for sensitivities of players, the average was 976. So a s a starting point, I used 1000edpi(csgo). This is same as Scream. I did not directly copy his, but still you can say that its 20 percent copied. But as far as the grip and posture goes, those are 100 percent mine. No copy from anywhere. Being good as him is a dream, but I know that it doesn't happen by just copying him. Its purely random that I sit like him or grip my mouse like him.

[@saqenocturne9769]

@@Sandro1dd yeah ok no problem just dont try to be him be yourself thats what count.

[@Edward-wb8bw]

A video on niko's grip maybe? I've watched almost all your videos and even recommended them to my friends who are new to fps and I can confidently say they learned alot from them haha

[@RonRamboKim]

Glad I could help :P

[@ared18t]

The switch from wrist to entire forearm table is most likely to prevent injury. When I first started playing I had a g300s and after a day of gaming my wrist would hurt pretty bad from using it as an anchor point for my arm movement. One day my hand went numb so I looked up dr levi harrison did his stretches got results and switched to putting my forearm on the table as an anchor point.

[@CS2-4K-VIDEO]

Siz ne düşünüyorsunuz? Bütün kol masanın üstünde mi olmalı yoksa dışarıda mı olmalı?

[@BornInArona]

I'm using that grip since ever started gaming... :)

[@justanameonyourscreen5954]

I started using a grip like that when I started 3d modeling...who knew...now if I can just keep my crosshairs up at head height when I move...

[@funky_flamingo3246]

Happy new years

[@chillbruh9328]

Which had better accuracy : finger touching the mousepad or not touching

[@Slayiden]

I use the same grip 👀 but this video helps a lot, my aim was super shaky.

[@evakaname]

This is exactly how i hold the mouse, thank you for the detailed video! Looks like i dont need to worry about this technique of mine XD I am looking for a new mouse and i was looking up if i need a claw or a fingertip grip one, but found none of them accurate as every description i found says claw has part of the palm on the mouse and the fingertip that the wrist is in the air, and none of that fits XD THIS does. To the T.

[@judd5662]

I'd love to see a video like this about 100t asunas aim/grip. He has a very unqique grip and aiming style.

[@fi5ke]

But he is playing the finalmouse ultralight 2 and have for some time now. But in his 360hz monitor review you can see, still the same grip style!

[@slasheerr946]

Hey rob, Can you recommend any trips on how to improve using a controller? Playing against bots isn’t helping me anymore. Please help, any help, suggested drills or anything else, would really help. Thank you!

[@kohinoorakter1993]

i use modified palm grip which involves almost three finger on the top of mouse can u do a reseach about this grip

[@user-hq6nw7py1x]

i thought i knew how to claw grip but after watching this video. I understood that claw grip has mkore variants than i thought it had XD

[@asad.saad.0]

i just realized, i have the EXACT SAME grip as scream, mouse tilted towards the monitor and everything

[@Delta_117-22]

Hi! Vid request here: can you talk about vertical mouses? On how it can affect FPS gameplay? And which has better performance compared to a Normal mouse.

[@sherazaadabdulla2694]

Vertical mice are non existent in the fps space

[@RiftEnalios]

@@sherazaadabdulla2694 what the hell is a vertical mouse

[@sherazaadabdulla2694]

@@RiftEnalios basically search logitech mx vertical lol its hard to explain without you actually seeing it 😂you grip the mouse elike a lever not like with your hand resting over

[@lunatic285]

Jeez i will forget my own grip after watching you explain how scrims grips mouse.

[@hengdavid1587]

Thats the same to my grip and its the only comfortable one but the problem is i grab the mouse too tight 😢.

[@angrycowboy1899]

Which one i should buy first for good aiming: A mouse A monitor A keyboard?

[@gamingnoobie1700]

pinky is really usefull to drag along the mouse pad to do micro adustment

[@jayceelambii2073]

I decided to watch this because I've always been really good at consistently getting headshots and wanted to see if there was more I could do to improve that, only to realize that I've already been using the same exact grip as scream. I always tried telling friends that my grip was the most accurate mouse grip possible and everyone always shrugged at it, but now I can send them this link. Thanks Rambo 😁😂 Also I'd just like to point something out, I've been using this grip since I switched to MnK a few years ago (I played claw on xbox - go figure) and I never thought anything of it other than it felt like the best blend of precise and "natural", but there's some cons to playing with this grip for prolonged periods of time on a consistent basis. You have a VERY high chance of developing some form of joint degeneration. At one point I felt like I couldn't even grip my mouse properly anymore (although it went away after a short few day break) stretch excessively now, use kinesio tape, hand warmers, compression gloves, etc. whatever you have to. This goes for every type of gripper - TAKE CARE OF YOUR ARMS/HANDS/FINGERS. Do not put it off and regret it like I did. It starts off as a mild stiffness and you don't think anything of it until one day your grip strength is cut in half and you aren't as accurate anymore.

[@devinfraserashpole4753]

That's strange because my grip is similar but I've never had pain issues.

[@darrenpruchnicki2613]

same for my i learned to play claw on xbox a couple years ago switched to pc and this was just my natural grip. its not exactly like screams more like the guys in the vid with a little bit of palm and pinki

[@rakshit5253]

Please do this for s1mple and zywoo too!

[@sijcecilio]

I searched for his Valorant sens and I saw that he is using 500hz polling rate. Are there any advantages of using that instead of just 1000hz?

[@DaniyalKhanWrites100]

@@munzamy No. You don't know anything.

[@jazon345]

We call this "fingertip grip"

[@RonRamboKim]

Great impression 👍

[@tacomn]

@@foundati0n Scream is actually claw grip with just 5 finger touch points and no palm support. In finger tip grip the hand and wrist is low to the table. Claw is with high arch in both fingers and the wrist.

[@comkioxd]

@@tacomn nah bruh fingertip grip has no palm support, so he's fingertip gripping. Claw grip is the same but with palm support, that's the only difference. The high low arch depends on mouse shape and where's you're aiming at

[@tacomn]

@@comkioxd Claw grip comes in two styles. One where there are 6 contact points and one where there are 5 contact points aka just the fingertips. Now for fingertip, just as in the 5-point claw grip, the hand-to-mouse contact is quite limited, more or less only the fingertips are on the mouse buttons (fingers are in a straight position), the rest of the hand remains without contact with it, and unlike claw-grip, the hand is quite low and raised flat.

[@chase6994]

@@tacomn so basically the 5 point claw grip is just fingertip but you don't use ur fingers for the mouse?

[@albert945]

Nice , hope you make more about grip's video . Also can you talk about cl_interp ? Most of the people say that we should use lower interp when we have low ping , but the top 10 player in 2020 , most of them using the highest interp (default) and australis using ratio 1 and interp 1 . Also people talk about ratio 2 is for peekers but bad for holding angles , this is real cause I'm using the default as well . Hope you can make a video about this :) Thanks

[@wrathbu9257]

damn we all want to aim like scream

[@ReyL_TV]

I think one aspect you forgot to mention is that for claw and fingertip grip, ambidextrous mice (CM 710, GPW, GMO, Viper, etc.) are the best due to the low profile that stresses less the joints of the hands as it is not so high, it is easier to press the sides of the mouse with the thumb and pinky on these mice too.

[@tacomn]

Well scream dev aimed best with ergo mice, intellimouse / deathadder/ finalmouse ergo.

[@ReyL_TV]

@@tacomn na that was a long time ago when the ambidextrous mouse weren't that popular, he has being using the Finalmouse Ultralight almost since it came out

[@tacomn]

@@ReyL_TV Not really, he just started using the ultralight 2 just recently. He did not even use his scream one finalmouse. He would always use the finalmouse ergo classic one or two.

[@sadge2u]

Scream using fingertip on Deathadder only because he can. Look at that man's hand

[@mcg1142]

i have the same grip as scream Pog

[@78diegox]

I saw this video 7 months ago and I ended up doing a weird curled fingertip grip and just failed everything, a few hours ago I rewatched the video and noticed the "rotating the mouse towards the monitor" thing and it changed my whole concept of aiming, claw grip really feels amazing now and I just broke a few of my records on aimlab (106k on gridshot, 125k strafetrack) Thanks Ron

[@78diegox]

just made 108k on gridshot lmao, i know its a pretty much useless exercise, but i feel good with myself now :P

[@78diegox]

119k.... yup

[@drunkfrombud1436]

So this is more of a claw and fingertip hybrid correct? Traditional claw grip has the 2 fingers raised but palm touches mouse, fingertip is no palm contact with mouse, but 2 fingers are not raised.

[@jakejohnson8602]

Please break down c9 tenz grip

[@Nick-gq9ip]

Please for the love of god. Do a video on Shroud's aim mechanics and mouse grip. More so with the G-Pro since it's evolved after he switched from the G303.

[@notTerabyte]

i'm looking at the mouse rrk has in the video and i am just confused as all hell as to why he just cut the cable off of his mouse

[@bobby3394]

Not to be that guy but claw grip is where you put the end of your hand (wrist side) on the back of the mouse but not your whole hand like palm grip

[@ItsWaks]

friends called me crazy for using this grip lol

[@duomaxwell1398]

My finger tips and pinky&ring finger knuckles rest on the mouse, nothing else. Would you say that's a similar grip? Always wondered what my grip style is.

[@jorgebernal6614]

Have you had that blue mousepad for years or you have changed it, I heard its coating after some months will deteriorate.

[@thingythingy9507]

I grip my my mouse without pinky but with ring is this bad?

[@flatbed42069]

Pls do a zywoo no deathmatch only pugs style

[@ApostropheYT]

i would say this is pure fingertip grip with arched fingers , im actually using this but my ring finger is more on top of the mouse than the side , im in no way as good as scream but i can say that the potential of the fingers is incredible especially in verticallity but it is fatiguing at times and needs a lot of control, i personally feel comfortable with it even if it causes me to suck sometimes but with enough practice i believe that eventually it will get way more consistant

[@ScreechOwlx]

1 year later.. how is it?

[@ApostropheYT]

@@ScreechOwlx I had a viper mini at the time that essentially forced me to fingertip tip it like that, switched from 1 3 1 to 1 2 2 and few mice and ended up on my current main the xlite v2, it is much more comfortable and I can grip it comfortably in any way and is much less fatiguing. The important question is: how is my aim compared to then? With the vm and my pure fingertip the highs of my aim were higher but my consistency was also very low, with the xlite I'm much more consistent and although my aim doesn't really reach the same highs, it's slowly but surely getting there. If you wanna aim like scream and hold a small ambi like I did you have to try and see if you can keep it up without being uncomfortable and fatigued like I was. I personally decided that the risks of my health and the results in my aim were not really worth it, and now I can even say that since then my overall aim is better since I can maintain my good performance more.
