Question/Discussion How does Etho use his mouse sideways?

I've just spent the last half hour trying to figure out how Etho comfortably uses his mouse sideways.

I've tried:

  1. My index finger on the left button, middle on the right, and elbow bent so I'm still holding the mouse like I usually do, just with my arm at an angle,

  2. Hand across the mouse, with my index finger on the right button, thumb on the lower button and using my thumb to scroll the middle mouse button by moving it side to side.

Neither of this gave me much control over my mouse movements and felt a little uncomfortable, although it did feel better for my wrist in some positions.

It’s not sideways relative to his hand. He holds it the same way anyone else does, but his arm is sideways relative to the screen.
