Need a new, bigger, gaming mouse that discourages the claw grip style

[zolly]

At the ripe old age of 37, I've found that my body is finally giving me the finger for all my years of gaming. In the last couple of weeks I've found that my right hand (particularly the last two fingers on the far right) and a few muscles in my lower forearm tend to ache by the end of the week due to all my gaming. I believe this is primarily due to the way I hold the mouse, which is a "claw" style grip.

I currently have a Redragon Dagger and I'm looking for a bigger mouse that would discourage this style of grip. Does anyone have any recommendations?

Zolly do you rest your forearms on the desk? At what angle? You should look at that too, in addition to your mouse.

That sounds like tendonitis
Get yourself one of the mousepads with a gel pad to rest your wrist on.
I struggled with the same thing and the mousepad was a game changer

At 1.7 meters tall I've struggled to find a desk and chair combo that will allow me to place my arms at the correct height. I'm actually getting a standing desk add-on that a friend of mine isn't using to see if this helps. I'm probably most like the first image. My arms and elbows are definitely not at 90 degrees. because my chair isn't high enough to get my elbows above the desk itself.

Thanks. A bit out of budget right now but I've added it to my wishlist.

Make sure your arm rests are level with the table so forearm is level.

In regards to a large palm grip mouse, I'm using the G502 Hero, really like the mouse.
