Pretty much what the title says, do you claw when you play games?

I don't do it right now but I might start to, idk how many games people actually claw in but I play halo and it seems a lot of people do. I'm too poor to get a scuff which was kinda made for the paddles to get rid of claw. 

EDIT: To clarify what I'm talking about when I say claw

Just talking about in general with gaming. Whether that be console or mouse

Just do yourself a favour and pick up the elite. No fucking controller comes close to it. Tried to claw, just feels wierd. People on Gears do it all the time.

I know you are just 16, but the vast majority of the gaming community will not know nor care about the terms you are using when it comes to the method of holding the controller/mouse you would have to expand for the vast number of people to reply with a "I hold the controller/mouse how I hold it"

When I hear people talking about changing the way they naturally hold a control device for games to emulate the way someone else on youtube/streams does it really makes me feel like old Barney here.



Play how you feel most comfortable (as long as you are holding the controls!)

My current mouse feels like its made for a "claw grip", so your hand just naturally goes to it.
My last one was more ergonomic, and honestly more confortable to use, that was a palm grip style mouse.

Its taken me abit to get used to the differnt grips tbh.
I prefer palm one, when I dont need to focus on performance.

Yes, I do claw occasionally. Don't remember when I started doing it and I'm sure I didn't learn it from anyone, it just came naturally. It's not uncomfortable at all and I only use it in specific games in specific situations. Some people like to shit people for using it and say it's uncomfortable, I say those people are ignorant for not understanding "the claw" is not uncomfortable for everyone and "the claw" can become subconscious action.

Ha ha. :) I had never heard of these terms until I clicked on this post. I might use one of my personal google machines to look into it later.

No idea. I hold a controller and play games. Humans don't have claws. Cats do.

I sorta do that with Dark Souls and occasionally Super Smash Bros. Melee, but otherwise, nope.

I don't own a mouse.
