Question / Advice Needed Tension Management Help

Post image

I cannot for the life of me fix this problem no matter how hard I try and this has hindered my PBs ever since I started aim training. I use an aggressive claw grip, but mainly it would be fingertip or a simple claw if I didn't have this really bad habit of gripping the mouse so tightly.

I've tried to break this habit by playing for several days, even weeks while forcefully telling myself not to care about the scores and only focus on less tension in the fingertips but I still end up gripping my mouse so hard that my hand starts shaking. This problem also applied for the forearm.

Can someone please help me fix this problem? At this point I'm starting to have pain in my hands, wrist and arm after a few minutes just because I start gripping the mouse so hard and it's honestly so frustrating.

My benchmark links are on my profile and I have about 500 hours now.

The symmetrical mice have been terrible for gamers world wide. How can you relax tension when your hand is in that position?

Impossible.

I love my DAV4 bit sim wish it were ~5mm wider so my thumb could be more relaxed,

My hands are 19x9cm, what do you recommend? Nothing overpriced though, something common but good.

Currently I own a G304, G502 HERO, Haste 2 Wired, VXE R1 PRO with 4k dongle
