Keywork Posted September 12, 2011 Report Share Posted September 12, 2011 (edited) probably an advert, but still. You the claw or the palm? I'm the palm. I actually claw..... I did not have a computer until a few years ago but way back when i was forced to use mice like this I did not use this one but it was like it, it was a completely flat top so i had to arch my fingers up on it like the claw to press the button.

Luftwaffles Posted September 12, 2011 Report Share Posted September 12, 2011 I use a mixture of the claw and the palm, kinda a half-palm. I think the reason it's never felt very uncomfortable to me is the amount of time I spend using a laptop trackpad, which is mostly claw.

CorgiShinobi Posted September 12, 2011 Report Share Posted September 12, 2011 I would say "claw," though probably more lose. I couldn't help it with my last mouse as it was a tiny laptop mouse the size of your palm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mister Jack Posted September 27, 2012 Report Share Posted September 27, 2012 Bought a new mouse today. Logitech G500. Three buttons on the side, DPI adjustment buttons up on the left, weight adjustment, and a clicker below the wheel the switches up the amount of resistance when you scroll (some/none). Time will tell if it holds up, but so far I'm impressed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UnstableArk Posted September 27, 2012 Report Share Posted September 27, 2012 I have the G9x, myself. Similar to the G500 there, but different shape, one less thumb button, and interchangeable grips. Unfortunately for me, it's more suited for palm grips than the pre-discussed claw grip, which I use. Other than that, very solid and performs nicely. By the way, anyone know of what an ideal mouse for the claw grip would be? I could use a new one after my brother has me ship this one out.

fuchikoma Posted September 27, 2012 Report Share Posted September 27, 2012 The pic of palm and claw grip both look like "palming" it to me. I habitually put my palm on the mouse, but that leads me to severe wrist pain because I end up with my wrist angled sharply. Now I do something like the claw with my palm up when I can catch myself and get it right. I actually use a little mouse to give me less place to put my palm (and my left hand because I kinda blew the right one out with RSI...) It's a Logitech Anywhere Mouse MX. It's... ok. Tiny receiver that can tuck into the mouse body for travel, and you can close a shutter over the sensor to turn it off. 2-button, no wheel button, forward and back on the left side. If you DO click the wheel, it goes into near-frictionless mode and you can spin it so that it'll keep turning for several seconds straight, scrolling past just about anything. It uses the "dark field" sensor, which is good for adverse surfaces like clear glass and CD jewel cases, but unfortunately not very good at all-terrain, like wrinkles on pantlegs. It pretty much needs a flat surface. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMightyEthan Posted September 27, 2012 Report Share Posted September 27, 2012 I have the G500, got it a couple years ago, and I really really like it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mister Jack Posted September 27, 2012 Report Share Posted September 27, 2012 I only have two complaints about the G500 so far: I kinda wish the side buttons were a little bigger and the mouse as a whole kinda makes my hand sweaty. Aside from that I have nothing but nice things to say about it, at least based on my first impressions. I also lucked out and got it 10 bucks cheaper at Best Buy because they mislabeled the price.

Mister Jack Posted September 29, 2012 Report Share Posted September 29, 2012 Anybody know any good custom driver software for configuring mouse buttons? I tried logitech's and it doesn't even detect my G500. Right now I have an extra side button that I can't assign to anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Faiblesse Des Sens Posted September 29, 2012 Report Share Posted September 29, 2012 Logitech's own software isn't detecting it? It should detect your exact model. Try updating SetPoint. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mister Jack Posted September 29, 2012 Report Share Posted September 29, 2012 I used the latest version. 32 bit doesn't detect it and 64 bit doesn't even OPEN the setpoint software. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Faiblesse Des Sens Posted September 29, 2012 Report Share Posted September 29, 2012 I assume you've tried restarting your computer? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MasterDex Posted September 29, 2012 Report Share Posted September 29, 2012 If you installed from a disc, try uninstalling them and installing downloaded drivers and vice versa. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mister Jack Posted September 30, 2012 Report Share Posted September 30, 2012 (edited) My laptop has no disc drive. Download only. And yes, I tried restarting. Edited September 30, 2012 by Mister Jack Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMightyEthan Posted September 30, 2012 Report Share Posted September 30, 2012 SetPoint works fine on my G500. How odd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
