An extremely controversial issue that certainly faces many gamers, but of vital importance for those who want to make the leap to the professional. We talk of course about the ways to take a mouse for each player and how they are focused on certain types of games. Among all of them, which is the one that gives us the most precision when playing? Which is the most optimal?
As we should already know, there are roughly three types of mouse grip, although some have quite peculiar variants and do not go beyond the norm. These anchors are Tip (or Fingertip), Palm and Claw , three different ways with advantages and disadvantages that we now need to discern to get a clear winner in terms of accuracy.
Why is it so important? Doesn’t the sensor influence this?
The precision that each sensor of each mouse model gives us should not be confused with the precision of the user. To put it in some way, “the mouse does not point alone” . The user’s precision is still the majority of the success if we want to take down an opponent, since it is the skill and agreement between the hand and the eye that are decisive.
It is true that a bad mouse can worsen the ability of a player just as a good mouse amplifies it, but ultimately it is still the human being that makes the difference, and a lot. Therefore, the grip debate among the community, which is the best?
To maximize precision we must be clear that the Claw style is the most suitable for fast games like Battlefield V or Call of Duty, for example. By resting the palm of the hand on the mouse and arching the fingers for the two main clicks, we will achieve a posture that on the one hand allows us to slide faster, have more stability and be more reactive to precision.
The first two qualities do not stand out in their splendor, but they allow an extra precision, which is what we are looking for.
Don’t confuse precision with acceleration or click speed
And it is that they have nothing to do, but many people confuse concepts. There is no greater precision for reaching the indicated movement before, or for achieving that click before the opponent, but for moving the mouse to the exact point where you have your target in the center of your sights. It is the pixel that gives you precision and that is where the advantage of a good mouse lies (along with the player’s ability to take it to that specific pixel)
This does not mean that we are sitting in the chair on this subject, but it is true that professional players agree on this idea and it is the one that we transfer, since there is no better teaching of those who live to place the cursor, point or look in the correct pixel.
It also does not mean that due to the style of play or type of mouse this is not possible to achieve with other types of grip, since it is not like that, each user has a specific way of doing it, but if we do not obtain the expected result, perhaps it’s time to change our style to see if that way we can improve accuracy.
