How is this mouse with fingertip grip users?

I believe you are referring to a like claw grip. I do not use the claw grip, but if I did it would feel comfortable on this mouse, though for the claw grip it isn't as perfect as the Razer DeathAdder shape. The height on the rival is more towards the back instead of the middle like the DeathAdder so, depending on how big your hand is it can be a problem. Now as I say this, the rival is the BEST mouse out to date for FPS. Not only for it's sturdy build, sleek design, amazing software, but it's tracking is second to none. I have used logitech, razer, and steelseris for mouses. For the FPS edge this mouse give the most advantage for aiming. I believe you are referring to a like claw grip.

I use the rival with a fingertip / claw type grip, and it works OK for me. However, as another person answered here, it can be a little unstable or wiggly at times with this grip. I have had an issue with this mouse being a little slippery and I suspect from reading here that it has more to do with the fingertip / claw grip than the mouse itself. However, overall it is not really a major concern, and I am trying to find a mouse pad with more grip to offset this.

I'm not a sophisticated gaming user, but I have a fingertip grip and it works OK for me. Note that the side buttons (on the left side of the mouse) are probably better placed for a palm grip. As with any mouse, you're best off trying it in a store before buying if at all possible.

Fingertip grip user, hand is 7 in. from middle finger to palm. I prefer minimal to no palm contact with the rear of my mouse, the dimensions of the mouse where too big in terms having that space between your palm and the mouse and it repeatedly contacting your palm when you trying to flick or move your mouse downwards, you get that contact and makes you lose your stability. Tested it on CSGO, this mouse works great for palm, ok for claw but no so much for finger tip, a mouse with length from 4.9 in. to 4.5 in. than that works great for people who don't have big hands.

Honestly, it's a mouse that really wants you to use palm grip, but is suitable for claw grip if that's what you're comfortable with. It's what I use most often.

My G5 is really glitchy right now due to the fact that my cat got into a vicious fight with the cord. So now I ordered the G9, and am still waiting for it to get here. From what I've heard, its better for claw grip users like me (your wrist stays on the mousepad and you use your fingers to move the mouse) as opposed to the G5 which I've heard is better for palm grip users (your wrist is elevated and your whole hand moves to move the mouse). To me, the G5 is a little too big and it took awhile to get used to the shape of it. Even after I've been gaming with it for several months, it still hurts my wrist in long gaming sessions.

Shoudl work fine for left handed people. I've owned it for some time now. It's pretty wide though, but I really do like it. I like the hour glass shape that allows my pinky to pull the mouse backwards, but i am not certian everyone will like the shape. If you ever used and liked logitech mouseman 2 then you will get along well with this mouse. Low profile, works well for claw or fingertip mouse grips though I do wish it was an inch shorter. Probably too low for palm grip, but I don't palm grip so I am not sure.

If you've tried others and they are too big, this one is no different in that respect. Why don't you google "finger mouse" and try that--you just insert a single finger into the velcro strap and bingo, you're free from the hand issue. Don't know if there is a wireless model tho, mine has a cord & USB. Mine was under five bucks incl shpg from NewFrog

the mouse is shaped for right hand use, and there is a couple of long buttons that you need the thumb to press them (I'm right handed and never use them) I tested it with the left hand and if you are going to scroll and use right and left click buttons it's fine, not a deal breaker if you need a silent mouse which it's great. hope that helps

It works great for me, but I hunt & peck, so I'm definitely not a typist! The keys and especially the finger pad seem quite sensitive; about my only objection is occasionally when I hit the "e" key the edge of the "r" key seems to hook my finger-I have no such problem with other keys, nor with my keyboard at work?

Mouse holds up just fine. I love all the features and the way onlookers ogle over the mouse. I like the weight of the mouse and it's flexibility. I would suggest however if you have large hands to keep looking. This particular mouse almost fits my hand and I find myself holding it in odd positions that make my hand cramp up after long use. Overall I would give it four and a half out of five stars. Hope this helps.

All of the buttons are amazingly responsive. The only issue I have with the mouse is that there's no place to rest your thumb other than a button, so when you "white-knuckle" the mouse during combat, you may unintentionally hit a thumb button. The thumb buttons are angled so you can easily identify without looking down which button your thumb is resting on. The Naga Razor doesn't have this feature. All the buttons on the Naga are flush, so you have to look to see where your thumb is.

I had the Razer Naga before buying this mouse, and the buttons are very easily reachable. There is a slight curve in the buttons, but does not hinder me. I am using the 1-9 buttons, my fingers are too short to reach the 10-12 unless I move my palm. If you have a larger hand/longer fingers, it should be no problem.Very good mouse!

I use external mouse and am happy with the performance. Moreover, once I got used to the how the Touchpad works, I found that I actually liked and found it intuitive in many ways.

I have small hands as well although the device is large my hand fits comfortably on the mouse. I use it while at work for almost a month now and the vertical positioning of my hand feels so much better than the traditional horiontial mouse I had been using.

I got this because I hurt my elbow. It is really great. I did not have any issues with the mouse. I must say it takes about 2 weeks to get used to it, however, after that it is great. One item to note is that the CTRL/ALT keys are not well positioned so if you use them a lot you will want to set up quick keys. Hope this helps.

This is a pretty much a full grip mouse, you can claw it if you like but don't have to and can still hit all the buttons on it. Deferentially bigger than any stock mouse that comes with a PC or Laptop.

I'm an old guy with whose hands have been broken in the past. This mouse took some getting used to. I didn't like the touch pad scroll at first, but now I think it works great. I purchased this mouse to use with a Lenovo ideapad laptop, but I never use the touchpad, just the mouse. I am familiar with cad programs, so I think it would work fine with CorelDraw & similar programs.

I bought it as a gift, so I can't speak from lots of experience but it didn't seem to bad for a fingertip grip when I tried it out. I didn't really know where to put my thumb at first but it's not that much of a change in style for me to complain about it.

It took a few days for me to get used to it, but it is helping with reducing/eliminating wrist pain. I am on the mouse all day long. I believe it will still work for you even with "small" hands. You have to grip the mouse between the thumb and other fingers to use. This is the part that takes some getting used to. The buttons are elongated so all should work fine for you.
