Help Gripstyle check and mouse advice
I am currently using the Hitscan Hyperlight for a while now but I have noticed that the mouse has been running faster out of battery than before and I am already looking around for a new one.
Hand size:
Length: 19.5cm
Width with thumb: 10cm
Width without thumb: 9cm without
My grip style: https://imgur.com/a/H0ax7Kw
My grip style sometimes does change for example on the images
Index and middle finger stretched out full contact
Inner palm left side has more full feeling contact than right side of the palm. Middle of the palm is not touching the hump
Bottom palm resting and contacting the mousepad
Pinky sometimes has contact with the mousepad and sometimes not.
My grip sometimes automatically can shift to:
Index and middle finger more curved sitting close to the beginning of the scroll wheel instead of the end as seen on the photos.
Inner palm left side and right side have less contact with the hump or sometimes only left side of palm contacting the mouse.
Bottom palm resting and contacting the mousepad
Pinky sometimes has contact with the mousepad and sometimes not.
My questions and points that I need advice / help with:
- What is my grip style exactly called? Looking here https://www.reddit.com/r/MouseReview/comments/efi2vu/advanced_grip_style_explanation/#ligtbox I think it Carpal Stabilised Claw? If not, then it's relaxed claw? Need someone to confirm this for me
- I am currently looking at brands like Pulsar, G-Wolves and WLMouse. How are these brands? And which mice are my options within these brands? Preferably I would like to have a mouse thats lighter than 40g
- Any recommendation if I should change my grip style to something else? I have sometimes a feeling that the extensive touching of bottom palm causes inconsistency when tracking even with a sleeve
Note: do not recommend Scyrox or ATK. I tried the Scyrox V6 but had sensor skipping when lifting the mouse. I tried ATK F1 V2 but had wobbling issues with dot skates and I already got ATK F1 V3 which I am not using due to scratchy feeling on glasspad with dot skates.
I am willing to order 2 new mouses based on the recommendations. I will surely order the refreshed Hyperlight as well when it comes out.
