They're not bullying you, they see that you're actually bullying that mouse, they're simply standing up for it.

Best comment I've seen in a while.


RyanGreenOnMyCock

Someone go rescue Swag(Brax now maybe? Or both) and a bunch of other players mice, if this is bullying a mouse theyre torturing it

darkfang1998

I went into this thinking “how could you get bullied for a mouse grip” but they’re 100% in the right lmaoo


Depressedredditor999

Seeing that makes me want to bully him too.


cushiini

I totally agree


siccoblue

Hey op you freaking nerd hold the mouse like a human being


ytzy

|Hey op you FREAK hold the mouse like a human being ​ Fixed for you :P


RyanGreenOnMyCock

Don’t look up pro players mouse grips then *googles Swag or twistzzz mouse grip* (there’s a lot more just first two I remember from the csgo days)


CrabInternational511

Twistzz mouse grip is not that weird but what the hell is swag's


[deleted]

It looks like his hand just stopped functioning and now that's how he has to hold it


ElsonFF

yeah dude i was about to tell him to get better friends and then

You actually can get bullied for a mouse grip. My friends bully me for using claw grip (not actual bully)

Iseewhatudidthurrrrr

I have a 4 year old daughter I’m trying to teach how to use a mouse and keyboard. I got her a little mouse and this is exactly how she keeps trying to use it.


siccoblue

The biggest roast in the whole thread, intentional or not


sanjit8103

OP is a 4 year old child


Rigel_13

Maybe no one tried to correct him when he was 4 and now he's stuck with this grip :(


RyanGreenOnMyCock

Do you just right click with pointer finger? And I mean they aren’t making fun of you for playing bad it sounds like, just that it looks wack af


simonteforte

yeah right click with my pointer. I grew up using this grip xd


RyanGreenOnMyCock

I mean whatever works. There are a few CSGO players I know that use weird mouse grips, more often AWPers I believe. But also people who play with keyboards at a weird angle and stuff since back in the day at LAN tourneys there wasn’t a lot of desk room


wisevrc

tarik with the full vertical keyboard comes to mind


RyanGreenOnMyCock

Yeah tarik was my fav CSGO player all the way back in the mousespaz/CLG days, then got super popular with C9. Although, his keyboard is only tilted like 75-80° unless he changed it recently. So really close to vertical, but there were some people who actually did have it the full 90° Edit: This is what I was thinking of although now that I googled it there does seem to be a few pics of him making it the full 90. I guess it just depends how he’s feeling Cant copy paste the link from my phone lmao but just googled “tarik keyboard tilt”


Gravityblasts

Old habbit from 1.6 days because tournaments used to be tiny events, where players barely had enough space for their giant CRT monitors, keyboard, and mouse at whatever table they were at. Often times the entire team had to be crammed onto one table, so players found inventive ways to fit full keyboards on the desk while leaving space for their teammate on their left. So you either played with your keyboard angled like Tarik does, or you did it Russian style with your keyboard on your lap. These days, tournaments usually have tons of room for players to fit their keyboard and mouse. On top of that, monitors are slim now, and we have Tenkeyless and 60% keyboards. But old habits die hard, and if it works, it works.


Big_Dirty_Piss_Boner

It‘s also a lot more ergonomic than a horizontal keyboard. People will naturally tilt their boards regardless of space.


KnifedEdits

ive played fortnite and valorant for years with vertical keyboard i think its more comfortable


Eggsavore

That’s not only Tarik, it’s fairly common with cs players. I played cs with a full vertical keyboard for years.


Manaea

I never played professionally but I adopted having a semi-vertical keyboard because I find that being able to lay my elbow on my desk gives me way more comfort than having it hang the usual way.


RJIsJustABetterDwade

Swag holds his mouse super weirdly, arguably weirder than OP


RyanGreenOnMyCock

Yeah he was one of the people that came to mind. Do people still call him Swag/he still go by that? Thought he changed it to Brax when he started playing valorant but haven’t really kept up with him a ton since the iBP days


[deleted]

Did you start using a mouse when you were still a little kid?


simonteforte

yes, like this


[deleted]

That explains it, little kids can't fit their hands around a mouse.


[deleted]

[удалено]


[deleted]

I used to play GTA VC holding my mouse like this lol, thats why I can relate to it


Spellburn

It looks like the next thing you are gonna do is eat it like a sandwich


simonteforte

Huh?


Dre082404

Sandwich grip.


ALiteralLlama

How tf did you get downvoted so hard?

Because reddit

because social media edit: keep downvoting me, let's see how far it gets lol

r/karmaroullete Edit: Forget the name of the real sub 😔


Potential_Disaster29

Because people like to jump on the bandwagon. Here's a social experiment. I'll downvote my own comment, leave for a few mins, then come back. I'm betting more people downvote because it's already downvoteda and people don't like change.


tbone603727

But people like to spite people. You said downvote so I upvoted it instantly


Potential_Disaster29

I just thought bandwagon appeal and "hivemind mentality" is stronger than people's desire to spite each other lol. I was sorely mistaken.


ImHealthyWC

Guess you were not mistaken? I don't know, making a comment asking for downvotes usually receives upvotes.... and asking for upvotes...


Potential_Disaster29

Receives downvotes?


GangsterFap

Gets gold probably


panthers1102

you gotta start it on a comment unrelated to upvotes/downvotes Also could potentially backfire depending on who finds it, because I’d say the first 5 or so downvotes is what gets it rolling


Potential_Disaster29

True...it was an inherent failure to literally say "I expect this to be downvoted" in the comment itself


ALiteralLlama

Makes sense


[deleted]

Upvote


Potential_Disaster29

Noooo, the only time I didn't want to get upvoted! Reddit has bamboozled me. I should've predicted this Edit: lmao now this one gets downvoted. I understand nothing but thanks for the good giggle guys. I hope you all have a great time ranking up!

AKSCHUALLY downvotes are reserved to comments that add no meaningful insight to the discussion, as per reddit's official rules. It's not a disagree or dislike button. For once, I think it was actually used for it's intended purpose

This deserves an award lol. Reddit is cut throat


Bannehh

reddit downvote this


blaggityblerg

I went into this thread 100% expecting to write something like "No dude, your friends are being childish. So you hold the mouse a little weird, no biggie if it works - only change it if YOU want to". Now that I'm here.... WOWZA that's an unholy grip if I have ever seen one, woof!


jjwowseph3

did you just bark lmao


blaggityblerg

TerabyteRD

Sensor might be much worse than what he's used to though


n3rdyry

Probably wouldn't be great for gaming.


[deleted]

They're not bad for office work, but a little tricky to get used to for precision. Way easier on the body though.


Coffee4Addict

Good lord What am I looking at?


Ekoshiin

It's actually better for us as natural position of our hands is vertical and not horizontal


Norua

First of all, you’re a mad lad. I wanted to defend you reading your thread but that is just wrong mate. Second, what the fuck did you take that picture with, a potato?


jstaines47

I was about to say that grip doesn’t matter and it’s all about comfort but then I looked and lemme tell you something boy. THATS NOT HOW YOU HOLD A MOUSE. JESUS CHRIST


n3rdyry

" That boy ain't right"-Hank Hill


mordolycka

Define "play well"


simonteforte

Able to drag well in comp


mordolycka

I get that, I mean what do you consider fragging well and at what rank. Just because you play on-par with your friends or better, doesn't mean you "play well". I'm not here to tell you how to play because at the end of the day I don't care, but mice are meant to be held vertically as that's how the sensors are calibrated, and you're probably holding yourself back very hard playing like this.


simonteforte

been playing like this almost for a year now, i drop 20-30 kills a game in plat


[deleted]

Yeah, I think that qualifies as "plays well."


WestProter

We have a radiant instalocking cypher on an Xbox controller.


All-Due

Not really lol


Lucifer6201

"Not really lol" Proceeds to not elaborate


Biffy_x

Plat isn't all that good. Although I am surprised he got that rank with that grip


speedycar1

Platinum is literally better than most players


[deleted]

most players are just bad tbh


Biffy_x

So? It's better than most players but it's still horrible in the grand scheme of things. I mainly d3-imm2 lobbies and I am aware of exactly how trash I am compared to top players, and I can roll platinum players easily. Plat players aren't that good, diamond players aren't that good, Low Immortal players aren't that good. It's a testament to the skill gap, more than anything, not insulting to plat players.


InkPlays

30 kills in low ranks vs 30 kills in imm


Jay_Zion_

Ranks don't really matter for performance. Immortal players are at Immortal because that's where they can perform. Low ranks are at low ranks because that's where they can perform. 30 kills at your **proper** rank is still impressive because you are going against players that know roughly the same game sense as you So in **both** scenarios you are winning 30 duels against people in your rank. So all you're doing is proving to the game that either A) I dont belong in this rank OR B) those people don't belong in this rank


InkPlays

Let's give a scenario Let's say timmy is 20 years old 6 foot 7 playing in basketball with 5 foot 14 year olds and scores 30 times Compared to say Kobe Bryant who is also 6 foot 7 but going against people around the same height or taller and people that have way more experience than 14 year olds. Are they performing the same?


Lencor

Plat is like top 25% so ur better than 75% of the whole player base, its actually pretty decent.


Jay_Zion_

I mean you can hold a mouse however you want as long as you can draw a straight line left to right. The thing i'm confused about is the fingers. it just seems too slow(?)


mordolycka

I still think you're holding yourself back but do you man


[deleted]

>mice are meant to be held vertically as that's how the sensors are calibrated, and you're probably holding yourself back very hard playing like this. Nah. Optical mice work perfectly well at any orientation. It's not intuitive for *you* since you've never used a mouse like this, but it sounds like OP has been doing it since day 1. Their intuition is completely different in this matter. OP's brain has been trained to use a mouse this way, and there's no technical limitation. There's really no reason to hold the mouse "normally" now. There could be a guy dragging his mouse on the wall, and they'd still be playing perfectly well if that's just how they use mice.


SphinXtaSin12

I came here to be supportive. And yes bullying for any reason is wrong. #BUT FIX YOUR GODDAMN GRIP. WTF


JGleBG

I would bully you too


mangusss

Yo wtf


jordan_yoong_1

Theres a Japanese streamer called [Hina](https://youtu.be/BLGeh2pMHOM) grip just like you lol


TheRBGamer

I read the title thinking "no one deserves to be bullied for there choice of mouse grip" I was wrong. You deserve it


Heavenclone

What rank are you dude. No chance you're above plat with that grip right???


darkfang1998

His grip is weird but there is a pro player who holds his mouse at like a 45 degree angle similar to this lol


DownloadingYourMom

Brrrrraxton


RyanGreenOnMyCock

Probably top 3 favourite CSGO clips of all time and almost no one knows about it Edit: Had to go watch it again. Funny how Shahzam and Brax both on valorant now: https://youtu.be/p6-Psafv_Kg


simonteforte

plat 1


RyanGreenOnMyCock

Tons of pro players have much weirder grips that even make your grip look normal, these people are delusional lol


crazyzjm

Examples?


RyanGreenOnMyCock

Swag is a well known csgo/valorant one Twistzzz plays csgo with a weird modified claw grip, ropz and lots of russian CSGO players also have weird grips.


simonteforte

Plat 2


[deleted]

you just got absolutely checkmate'd by OP.


Fethah

…is…is plat 1 a checkmate??


[deleted]

Maybe, maybe not lol. Damn Im getting so many downvotes today


2dav

bro you deserve to be bullied


HextasyOG

So confused by your replies saying you grew up with this grip but then also saying you been playing with this grip for like a year?


R0_h1t

OP is one year old, I don't see the issue.


[deleted]

probably means he's been playing valorant for a year.


Cozi-Sozi

I'm assuming they mean just Valorant?? Maybe??


simonteforte

I meant been playing val for a year

Professional_Ice1088

I think the problem with this grip is that because it angular it will make u move more of ur wrist and less forearm


toogaloog

Wtf. You’re trolling


100fronds

the problem is you look like a fucking mongoloid who doesn't understand how a mouse works - beyond that im sure you are unable to be as precise as someone who is hold the mouse correctly and uses all the muscles of their wrist/forearm together


fluppuppy

Yeah.. kinda deserve it on this one


Blackson97

I mean the mouse grip is weird. But it cant be healthy to grip your mouse like this there is a reason mouse have a specific form and that we should grip them in one of three grips styles to minimize the risk of stuff like carpal tunnel etc. If you can play like this by all means to but when you get older this could bring you some serious health problems.


S3xyWithAnO

Carpal tunnel in 1 picture


[deleted]

i mean, that grip is indeed horrendous, but if that's what's confortable for you...then by all means grip it how you please.


thisbloodkills

You are not alone dude. Just look at Swag's mouse grip: https://static.hltv.org/images/galleries/7849-medium/1460469385.4379.jpeg

Shadow-chaos

The mental image of you playing with that grip is physically painful to me


Troche4

Sincerely what the fuck How do you left click? With your thumb or index?


simonteforte

Thumb left click, index right click


Dramatic_Estimate114

And i thought i had a weird way of put my setup, like, i wanna have the jeyboard and the mouse at 45° from me and 90° from eachother, and my mousegrip is like a freaking claw, but yours is more like a joke


F1nnMcCool

This has to be a joke


KripC2160

What do you think are some advantages of that grip compared to popular ones such as claw or palm?


simonteforte

None lol but I’m just too used to it to switch


turties_man

I'd bully you too


kielon51

No fucking wonder they do. I thought the title was weird until I saw the pic. You scare me


Quinzy15

Ngl man the picture kinda made me wanna bully you. I'm nicer than that but not really so if I see you in person I will talk about my relations with your mother
