Same here, I can't see myself going claw or palm: Finger tips :D
 
Unless I got a mouse about 5 times the size of my current one I can only try claw and can only actually use fingertip.
 
Finger tips for me.
So I guess if you got big hands, you will be in the finger tips gang. So everyone above that stated that they use palm, probably have small hands? And you know what they say about small hands...:erm:
 
Finger tips,started out as palm when I had a Genius mouse, the size of a brick.
 
not really any of the above, probably closest would be finger tips, although it's actually driven more by my thumb and the inside of my ring finger

it has got me thinking about the ergonomics of my mouse though and why I've got RSI, maybe I need to investigate a new mouse

currently got one of these

Claw, but I have microsoft arc mouse, which is basically hallow underneath, besides the fingers, the only thing that touches the rest of my hand is basically the righy hand edge down the middle of my hand.
 
Likewise.

Actually really focusing on it now I would also agree to this ^^

I move the mouse with my thumb and pinky not with my palm. So I'm clawing the mouse with my palm resting on the mouse. If that makes sense. I suppose palm would mean you move the mouse with your palm and not your fingers.
 
Finger. If I use a palm grip my fingertips hang over the front edge of the mouse. Claw grip forces me to arch my fingers into an uncomfortable position.
 
I generally have a finger grip. It might be my hatred of dirty peripherals that makes me touch my mouse the least I can get away with though. I can't stand greasy keyboards, mouses or gamepads. Back when I played PS3 a lot I used to clean the DS3 before I used it, without exception. Seeing other people's controllers made me want to vomit.
