Mouse Grip Styles.. EXPLAINED!

Mouse Grip Styles.. EXPLAINED!
In this video I'll go over my experience with each grip styles and some pros and cons to look out for. I wanted to make this video for some time now with everything that I've learned over the past year when it comes to grip style. I personally don't think one grip style is better than the other the best grip style will be the one you play best with. All have their strengths and weaknesses.

@@dom7488 that might have issues in game. Have you ever noticed?

[@nobody5197]

I personally have a fingertip grip but it’s slightly sifted into a more palm grip because I have small hands

[@seanms35]

So my grip is called Relaxed Claw? I thought I was playing Palm. 😆 I’ll check out the Claw style.

[@marshalltompkins4329]

Eaxact same thing for me

[@N-VAMusic]

Same here I like a good palm contact but I dont really put my whole arms weight on my mouse. And with my pinkie and thumb I lift my mouse ever so slightly like not even a millimeter so that friction cant slow me down when I'm tracking. I'm using the Model O- and this strategy seems to be working pretty well in Overwatch at least

[@prezidenttrump5171]

Great video man, really appreciate how in-depth you went into everything. As far as I'm concerned this is the definitive video on this. After watching many over the years.

[@Suppboio]

One very important thing is to always re-center to your original resting position so that when you aim at a foe you can track properly without running out of reach. This is a very needed practice to get as fast as you can possibly get it.

[@hudson.2621]

As always great vid man!

[@brianclauzel4973]

I appreciate you trying to go in detail on this topic. It's such a dense topic with a lot nuance, while dpi/mouse sens, mouse shape, and hand size being major factors as well. Overall great video!

[@maleficent1977]

This is the absolute best video on mouse grips I have found. Thank you brother.

[@texmx5743]

I’ve been watching for a year and som months I think 💭 and I don’t understand how you only get 80k views approx after a month. I love you’re contente, you deserve more views . Keep it up 👍

[@LuchyTrap]

Which is better for you?

[@ayybuhh]

This is the second vid I’ve watched on your channel, and I’ve got to say man you’re pretty informative on these things. Definitely earned yourself another sub and I think your channel is underrated! Keep up the good work man!

[@BTaesthetics]

Thanks jack appreciate that! Happy holidays!

[@randomboar2025]

hey BT you are the first person on the earth who made me think about changing my grip type! Great video and great to have you here

[@davetechme]

Perfect explanation. Had a larger G602 which forced palm/claw. Great for flicks, terrible tracking. Switched to a smaller Viper Mini which I fingertip. Much better tracking, some instability involved with side button use.

[@taylorthomaston9550]

Favorite youtuber still killin it! Proud of you BT

[@1upnolan340]

Brandon you deserve way more than you have. Your vids help so much. Thanks

[@brandon3698]

fingertip makes my flicks and tracking go so well

i use fingertip since i always loved smaller mice

Btw what lens do you use for your camera in this video?

[@BTaesthetics]

THanks Alenyx! love that you appreciate that about my videos because its something I strive for!

[@aToxicPotato338]

Excellent video best description of mouse grips i could find

[@TrvpPapi]

I have a hybrid of both palm and claw. Good for tracking when playing on low sens and a good balance of fast movement and aim stability. Great vid as always BT. Keep up the grind.

[@VegaVermouth]

Hi BT, nice vid ! I have some question btw, do you ever try G305 without the battery cover? I just tried it after feel not consistent with the G305 because of the hump. But mainly not because the height of the hump but kinda the hump width make me got some kind of limited move. Weirdly i use the G305 without the cover but not fingertipping it, i mean my little part of the palm under pinky and ring finger touching the right butt of the G305 and i aim with it very well. My other palm area not touching the mouse. I grip with my thumb straight and ring finger with the pinky hanging. My question is, what kinda mouse that feels like G305 without cover or anything else that maybe suit my weird grip? I tried O- in a month and because it is not touching my little palm area under pinky and ring finger i find it too unstable. Will FK2 fit the bill because it is longer than O-? or how about S2 hump? is it very interfering? My hands : 18x9.5cm Thanks a lot:)

[@caiof.apparicio7279]

Very insightful tyvm!

[@PIaydough]

Thank you for this. Do you have any recommendations for mice that are better suited for each grip style? More specifically for me, a fingertip grip. I currently have a Razer Deathadder Elite and don't find it very comfortable even after a year of use. I have medium sized hands if that makes a difference.

[@victormoncada807]

Awesome video dude, got my sub!

[@masterblaster9784]

Use fingertip with arm aiming in my opinion it's the best most accurate aiming style. it's like you're just holding a pencil and drawing, full control :D

[@ariathyf144]

I moded my model O- to allow some *elevated palm support.* As a result I'm having the best of finger tip and claw.. wide finger adjustments WITH palm stability for flicks.

[@Humiinator]

Great video BT! Much needed video tbh had no clue grip i was using and needed to switch it up to get my gaming to the next level, hopefully this works, will be switching to a claw grip, is it possible on the skoll?

[@Aliothale]

It's good to be accustomed to a wide range of grip styles. Different FPS mechanics will benefit from blending multiple grip types. If you play Overwatch, you'll like end up with 4-6 different grip styles for different heros.

[@trenth2185]

Love your content man. I actually use the Glide mouse pad you use. Keep it up g much love

[@PixelParanoid]

I need help with my setup (that ill hopefully be able to make next year) Will a white model o look good with a black corsair crystal case, a wooden desk(its a dark shade of brown) and a black keyboard.

Actually very nice video! It made me realise that i had fingertip grip and its not that good playing valorant so ill try to change to clawgrip! Thanks Brandon Taylor, you won yourself a sub!

[@sinu9226]

Hey BT im looking for a new mice that fits my hand its 18 x 10 cm im using claw grip. Any recommendations?

[@ant111_]

Thx so much, I realized I have a habit of slightly changing my grip every once and a while when I play, and keeping the same grip really helped me

[@Comando115]

Yeah i realized the same

[@pandaffin]

Thank you for the advice. It is helping me train to be better at pc gaming

[@ingmar5037]

I saw you using the Viper Ultimate! What do u think is the best gripstyle for it or are they all fitting?

[@Abhishek-fw7oo]

Bt should start vlogging he is so much good with the camera

[@Guanjyn]

I’m relaxed claw grip. Tried a few times to change grip but that’s what I always go back to.

[@szdeathshadowzs2391]

Really helpful vid thanks man

[@Parasyte0]

Great video as always!👍

[@Kanabizu]

I was thinking of changing from claw to fingertip, but I think claw is the most forgiving grip and you can use the side buttons land have a little bit of verticality like the fingertip grip

[@Nice-in9gi]

BT takes the best shots out of all reviewers bruh that’s y I been subbed to him since the first video I watched keep killing it man

[@diamondback1853]

Hey Bt im a mix of all what small mouse is good for that?

[@48.dragos]

i have palm grip and a medium to big hand. is the g pro wireless a good mouse for me?

[@zekronn9844]

I use what you call the "Relaxed palm grip" I have a cheap redragon mouse right now but am hoping for a model o for christmas

[@rainbowsparkles4579]

Zekronn same

[@sleepyvibez8912]

Model d?

[@itsprod.472]

Same man I've tried other styles but palm grip is much more comfortable

[@SuperHANGER18]

Don’t get the model o unless you’re gonna paracord it trust me the default wire it comes with is garbage mines broke with normal use within a few months

[@SonataNoKami]

Got a redragon currently ordering a model o tomorrow weird huh

[@GrizzTheShaman]

I've been playing palm for ages now and my aim just always lacked finesse no matter what I did to change my sensitivity around nothing ever seemed to work...until I started playing fingertip now on 750dpi and 6% sens I'm absolutely in heaven

[@trinxwyd6583]

This helped me out a lot

[@damianbarajas6209]

What kind of mouse do you have and does it work good for palm grip?

[@jackong3406]

Something that I've been really struggling with is that I'm very used to having 3 fingers on the mouse. Like the e.g of palm grip shown in the vid. However I tried fingertip grip and have run into all the cons listed and I'm now stuck in a position where palm grip feels bad for micro adjustments and fingertip makes me lose all stability with the side buttons. With the claw grip I'm want to try but is it actually possible to do with 3 fingers on the mouse? Cause I feel like I'm going back to fingertip aiming when doing so and I'm not sure whether im doing it right

[@chaseflynn6956]

I am a palm grip user with very very large hands and I have found for me personally the key to palm grip is to grip TIGHT. Suck that controller into your fingers and palm and then use your thumb really wedge and jam that mouse into the opposite side of your hand. If you do it correct nobody should beable to take the mouse out of your hand.

[@chrisboi4892]

Thank you for the info!

[@hntr5_887]

I’m a simple man, I see my fav KZbinr uploads I watch 3 times

[@BTaesthetics]

POG!

[@leb5550]

Thank you BT for HQ vids as always ❤️

[@N1TRO]

When you use claw how often do you actually push the mouse off your palm? I do it incredibly infrequently.

[@artissn3326]

I am gonna buy the logitech g502 hero is it worth it? I like the extra buttons and i use the palm grip with middle finger on the crollwheel

[@mgranda3501]

I have trouble clicking the side buttons on my g502 and i use a palm grip what should i use?

[@VeachOnTheBeach]

What do you say would be the best type of mouse for a not too agressive claw grip, but also not too relaxed? I cant pick between an ambidextrious mouse or ergo mouse!!!!

[@lulinha4610]

Heyyy BT, i have 18x9 cm hands and i use fingertip grip, what should i get?

[@archangel4220]

I would just like to say this is a very high quality video. What software do you use to make your videos?

[@TheSunnyDayle]

Hmm. This explains why I like a small mouse so much! Great video. 👍

[@wipwops8311]

Ive got a relaxed claw finger tip hybrid with arm aiming and i move the mouse with my fingertips when i need precise tracking instead of wrist aiming. How weird is that?

[@akshay118]

Haven't even watched the entire video yet but right off the bat Awesome video quality man Feels like a MKBHD Vid Love it ❤👍

[@awnymenla7947]

When i was a kid iused claw grip I still use it its good thanks for video bro

very good produced informational content. You have a real talent for this keep going.

Thanks bro!

Thanks for this helped me thinking about my claw grip been tying it for a bit

[@pyrowacko583]

Are you still using claw grip?

[@ChristIamnot]

@@pyrowacko583 yep still am

[@aksuo3614]

What mouse is that? The Viper Mini or the Viper Ultimate?

[@KornnCobb]

3 years later still a banger 😍

[@smellyhippi]

I use finger grip because I have large hands and every mouse that i have used has been too small to hold, I currently use the G502 which I thought was on the large scale of mouses but is still too small.. I have used this style for about 15 years and i'm at the point where i have mild tendonitis in my wrist but also get severe tightness and pain up the side of my pinky and thumb.. I have no choice but to start using an ergonomic mouse, do you have any recommendations?

[@lonious8730]

Another great video keep up the good work!

[@BTaesthetics]

Thanks lonious!

[@mardawgggg]

best vid yet. But i commebted on ur top 5 mousepads and i asked does the zowie divina g-sr have no stitching like the g-sr-se. PLZ ANSWER (:

[@AlarmingTheConqueror]

Does fingertip grip benefit me if i cant write/draw with my right hand? Meaning im left handed but i use my right for gaming.

[@nickwilliams9858]

Bro where did you get the skeletor mouse pad??

[@DamnAwesome]

Awesome video, I use palm grip and claw grip on my Model O!

[@shauns5740]

With claw grip which parts of the hand/arm rest on the desk?

[@minion9707]

Another banger BT finger tip Grip here.

[@arnavdixit1397]

Should the wrist hover in the air or should it be touching the mousepad?

[@pauliekeenan7464]

wonderful video! thank u

[@HITMAN80g]

any recommend mice for fingertip user ?

[@ForrestLee]

I need a grip for Diablo 4!? What to choose 🤔

[@40KGaming]

What is the best mouse for finger tip grip?

[@linklink-_-6399]

I started out finger style, but since i was new and sucked at everything mechanics wise, i switched to palm because i was initially more consistent with it. Ive tried claw before, but i didnt get that the whole point is to flick with the wrist, and then detach to track. Whenever i tried claw id use it the same as palm. Didnt know you could combine the god aim with flicking. Bouta try this in a minute. This helped a lot

[@BenDover-mx1wq]

What dac/amp do you use bro?

[@baronturk3033]

This fr helped me

[@Its_a_Grimm]

Im like a palm finger hybrid. I haven’t play pc in months. Nothing really out that makes me want to play. Any suggestions?

[@abbas3801]

My fist is c griplaw and my hands are 19 and width 10 so what's better than these two razer Deathadder v2 or Razer Viper ?

[@Wildgrifter]

should your fingers which lie at the sides of the mouse, the palm and the wrist be touching the pad?

[@awake9749]

Great timing because I just bought a viper ultimate and with palm I struggle to hit the right side buttons

[@MrSweenzo]

I have a hard time using the thumb buttons and idk why. I don’t have small hands, however I am new this so so maybe I’ll learn over time?
