    Before you buy a mouse read what Fredfogerty said.
    It doesn't sound like much but that best technology mouse might not be the right one for YOU. I bought a deathadder and it's a pretty good mouse. It doesn't have too many buttons that I won't use anyway.
    The problem with it is; it's a palm mouse and I claw grip.
    This makes it uncomfortable for long gaming sessions.
    So if you claw buy a claw if you palm buy a palm. I know I didn't actually suggest any mice to buy and that's because until YOU know how you hold a mouse any 'buy this' posts are worthless to you.

    Exilar is right. That's why my mouse is adaptable because I have a few people play on my rig with my gear using different grips and I use different grips aswell from time to time. Research the mice you like before you invest, that's how you save money

    I'm a palm grip man myself and give the death adder a thumbs up!

    I used to not think about it until I bought my mouse. My brother could never understand how I could use it. A while later he bought a new mouse of his own and I had problems with his.

    It wasn't until we really watched each other play games that we noticed that he palmed and I clawed.

    I've made the claw (X5 Sidewinder) to palm (g700 by Logitech which is hands down the best mouse I've ever had). It's not a big deal to me, my biggest issue was finding the right DPI after the fact.

    Health wise, is either 'stance' better?

    No. We are supposed to take breaks every hour or so but we are gamers, fuck that shit. I just shake my hand out every so often.

    Here are some photos and detailed explanations of the various mouse grips - from razer mouse (link).

    Looks like I'm a fingertip person. Thinking about discopotato's CoolMaster "Inferno".

    I'm a little between claw and fingertip.
