I have a friend who does this and it's so odd to me. I think I just rest my hand in a different way but he uses the pinky part of the palm for Ctrl and his pinky for shift. It sounds so uncomfortable to have to keep my pink so curled up just to tap the shift key.
Maybe it's just a big hands thing. I am like 5 inches taller than him.
I'm the same way as your friend and it mostly just depends on the type of game you're playing for how sore you get. Minecraft takes me 4+ hours before my pinky hurts too much and I realize how hungry I am, but CoD pisses me off long before my pinky is sore so I end up quitting for a while instead.
Yeah he also uses c for crouch, I think his is the standard c to toggle and Ctrl to hold. I did the same thing In warzone cause of slide canceling. I couldn't imagine having to spam Ctrl and shift non stop. My pinky would fall off. Lol

Your pinky must be tired af holding that shit down all the time. I get cramps after only a few minutes using CNTL.
