if it didn't bother you enough to change it in the past 8 years, why would you now?

Well maybe I didn't make it very clear in my post, but the grip I am using now is really un-ergonomic. Meaning that it tires out my hands really fast and sometimes they end up in a weird position that can cause pain and stuff. I never bothered, because I never dedicated myself to changing it, since I was always unsure if it's doable.

i switched from claw to palm grip when i lowered my sens a lot in my first years of playing and after 2-3 years like that switched back to claw. mainly because i cramped up like you described and my right shoulder getting worse (also due to other things).

that took some time getting used to but it's much more comfortable for me and i have been playing like this for ~5 years now.

using acceleration with that? because that is a second problem for me :p I basically play with low sensitivity and some accel. I move a lot across my mousepad. Isn't claw grip high sens + accel?

no, i always used no accel until very recently.

for a few months now i play with low accel (would be 0.1 with 400dpi) and mid sens (would be 4 with 400dpi), which is more or less what some other duel players are using right now.

iirc i read comments & cfgs that linkin/noctis/fazz/stermy/cypher use a similar setup.

with claw (and 400dpi) i always used setups similar to those:

sens 4.5-5 acc 0
sens 3.5-4 acc 0.1-0.2

i mostly fail being able to control higher acc settings :/

random idea: what i did is binding +attack to keyboard (additionally to mouse1)

i'm gripping the mouse with way less force now and hit more constantly in even open range fights with lg and mg (the only weapons i fire with keyboard)

unless we get qw style impulse this is not going to work, think about it for a second. you don't have enough keys to use while still being able to move...

what i meant was that its stupid to bind only two weapons to fire with keyboard while rest of them is on mouse1, that must fuck ur brain pretty hard

but actually qw style would be nice but its not fast switch so its a bit pointless :P

i have both Y [german keyboard] and mouse1 for +attack, for all weapons

sometimes i start to shoot with mouse1 and go over to track while holding Y, but i mostly hover over Y when changing to LG (A is +silent, so i don't need that button when having lg out)

needed 1-2 days to get used to it thoroughly

(I'll update my profile cfg soon)

what i meant is being able to group weapons together, eg. lg and cg on one key and pg and ng on another.

in ql i can script that but would have to double-tap in any case to get to cg and ng, in qw with impulse(xxx) that wasn't needed and most people use atleast two different +attack binds (usually rl and lg/ng or ssg/sg).

oh ok, on qw i have rl on mouse1, lg on mouse2 and gl on shift so i get the idea

but really who needs cg and ng :D

I just recently switched from palm to claw grip, and now playing feels more comfortable and even more accurate.

I changed from claw grip to palm grib on wmo. adjusting my sens to 60cm/360� 0.1 accel, coming from 25cm/360�. This was necessary because my hand and forearm got tired very fast too. causing my muscles to harden etc. effecting a tennis elbow with +moveup on mousebutton 2.

imho you need to adjust your sens according to your grip and vice versa. this will result in an almost complete adjustement of your physical mouse movement.

Thanks for the replies. I might change something in the next weeks to see if it works better. But trying claw grip always makes my WMO slip and makes me want to adjust to my weird grip automatically again :(

Should just cut of a few fingers and try a totally new experience :L
