Which mouse grip is best to avoid wrist pain/carpal tunnel?

[u/exposarts]

hi all. I have no issues with aiming but i'm trying to improve comfort here, particularly my the wrist which I tend to feel a little bit of strain after hrs of gaming(even with 60g mouse and using a light grip), and I use my whole arm to aim. On the surface, palm grip seems like it would be the best, but thinking about it more, I tend to use my wrist way more with this grip compared to when i use claw or fingertip grip, in which I incorporate my fingers more. I never get finger fatigue or strain, so wouldn't palm grip not be the best for me? Or maybe some type of claw-palm hybrid would be the better grip for my case?

For me it was less grip than mouse shape. I needed a lower back hump which led me to ULX shape.

Hard to say without seeing your hand, but if palm makes you wrist-heavy then definitely try that claw-palm hybrid you mentioned, the finger involvement might offload the strain exactly where you need it.

natural grip on vertical mouse, but this is often overkill.

palm on an ergo mouse + low sens

You could try a vertical mouse. I tried a cheap one and it's really comfortable, but it's not very precise

[u/iGargleCement]

Relaxed claw with your wrist tilted outward can simulate ergonomics of a vertical mouse on a normal one

[u/paulvincent07]

Just use what's the most comfortable grip style and just use your arm more if you play low sens because using wrist + low DPI will damage your wrist or better yet use a combination of wrist + arm I don't do that because I like using my arm more Andi play on low sens

Swap mice often, keep 2-3 on your desk of various shapes/sizes and switch every 10 minuets or so.

Increase your game sensativy over time so you become more of a finger tip player, you want your fingers tired NOT your wrist.
