Apparently most people hold their mouse the way I made fun of.

(TRIGGER WARNING FOR PEOPLE WHO USE MICE PROPERLY)

With, like, your middle finger on the right button and nothing on the scroll wheel, presumably with your ring finger on the side and your pinkie dragging along the mouse surface, literally dragging your knuckles.

If you do this, you are WASTING A FINGER. And if you ever buy the best mouse in the world, you’ll be too lopsided to properly use the seven programmable buttons out on the left.

Ugh. I have no time for this shit. Everyone who doesn’t rest their middle finger on the scroll wheel, unfollow me now.

If you use a trackball, you’re cool. That shit saves you from carpal tunnel.

  8. spytap said: If you play PC games, you use the pinkie to grip the mouse, so the ring finger can click the right side button while still moving the mouse. Pointer, middle, and ring stay on buttons and movement is still possible.
