Palm, Claw, or Fingertip? How to Choose the Perfect Mouse for Your Grip
Share
One Size Does NOT Fit All.
You can have the best sensor in the world (like the PAW3950), but if the mouse shape hurts your hand, you will miss your shots.
At RyuGear, we test hundreds of mice. We’ve learned that your Grip Style is more important than any spec sheet.
Here is how to identify your grip and pick the right weapon from our latest drop.
1. The Palm Grip (Stability King)
- How it looks: Your entire hand covers the mouse. Your palm rests fully on the back hump.
- Best for: Tracking games (Apex Legends, Overwatch) and players who want maximum comfort.
- The Problem: Most lightweight mice are too small for this.
- Our Pick: The Attack Shark R11 Ultra. It has a large, ergonomic hump that fills your palm for maximum stability. If you have bigger hands, this is your endgame.
2. The Claw Grip (The Aimer's Choice)
- How it looks: Your palm touches the back, but your fingers are arched like a claw.
- Best for: Valorant & CS2. It gives you stability (palm) + micro-adjustment speed (fingers).
Our Picks:
Attack Shark R5 & R3: These shapes are the "Goldilocks" zone—not too big, not too small. They lock into a claw grip perfectly for snappy aim.
3. The Fingertip Grip (Speed Demon)
- How it looks: Your palm barely touches the mouse. You aim mostly with your fingers.
- Best for: High-sensitivity players who want instant, crazy-fast movement.
Our Picks:
Eweadn Z7: The "Speedster." It’s a compact shape that is perfect for throwing around with just your fingertips.
Attack Shark R2: If you want premium build quality (Magnesium Alloy feel), the R2 is incredibly light and rigid for pure speed.
Summary: Which one are you?
- Want comfort and steady aim? -> Go Palm (R11 Ultra).
- Want versatile, snappy aim? -> Go Claw (R5 or R3).
- Want pure speed and micro-adjustments? -> Go Fingertip (Z7 or R2).
Don't buy a mouse just because a pro uses it. Buy the one that fits your hand.
