Expand I've seen some really weird ones like the Octopus Claw... I'm not sure but it's almost like he's massaging the controller. I've never seen anything like this.

Expand It's probably not very comfortable but it makes some sense. It minimalizes the distance between the buttons and his active fingers so he can react quicker. It also lets him manipulate both sticks, the face buttons and the triggers simultaneously. Edited December 22, 2022 by Crazycrab Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kennysplash Posted December 14, 2023 Share Posted December 14, 2023 My palms are soft, so I feel pains when I play games for long especially on my thumbs. So I shift my thumbs to the middle, it helps me have a firm grip on the controller. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lens Posted August 4, 2024 Share Posted August 4, 2024 I put my thumbs on the buttons. I've always love to hold my controller with thumbs on the buttons and I put my index fingers on the triggers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Button Posted August 4, 2024 Share Posted August 4, 2024 I've actually tried out The Claw technique, but it never worked for me. I prefer to have my thumbs on the buttons because it gives me more control and precision as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand I heard that The Claw technique is good for games, like FPS games but i haven't used it.I just go back to the thumbs on the buttons.
