Im probably gonna stick with using steam for gyro aim + flickstick controls they're just way more precise than what a stick can do alone but in all honesty quite a bit worse than a mouse, also to not have to use claw I'll probably just swap one bumper button to jump and use x for whatever the bumper had. Because in my eyes the only benefit with claw over normal is being able to jump easily while aiming, like using your thumb stick press to jump while aiming kinda sucks because lifetime of the thumbsticks degrades and if you use another for crouch you're probably gonna use the one for aiming which makes your aim wobble every time you jump. Definetly don't need to use gyro for the good old bumper swap either. Only game i can think of it not working at the moment is fortnite with building but I dont play that anymore anyway and also theres now a zero build mode. Also claw is kinda useless for a lot of 2d platformery games like hollow knight, rainworld and celeste where the other thumbstick is entirely useless! Also a fun thing with gyro is that it shouldn't be limited to steam games as you can add any game you want to be launched via steam with steam overlay and the controller options to play kbm games with a controller too. Also controllers with backbuttons are amazing to me, but sadly a lot of them dont have gyro with them as well.
Tysm I am learning claw as an 11 year old kid going back to school in 2 days, I am one of the worst players in my friend group and I am looking to improve at Fortnite
He is cleaning himself. My female Frenchie does it. If you watch Dogs behaving very badly on RU-vid or on Channel 5 in uk Graeme explains about it. It does look like they are wanking but it’s grooming that’s all xx
Idk if its just because of using Playstation controllers for so long, but having trouble getting used to my new xbox controller. Feels like my hand and fingers are more strained and i grip it tighter. Guess it just takes getting used to it?
HELLLP! Our little Frenchie does this too!!! Unfortunately he scratches himself up terribly when he does it- no matter how short his claws are. You have any tips on at least curtailing this? Thx!

Please respond ! I try to play claw like this while holding the controller with my pinkie since it is the only available finger left and it hurts. is it better to leave it loose like my pinkie wouldnt hold on to the back of the controller or should i get used to it?
Get a controller with paddles on the back that you can remap buttons to. Also if you cant see if the game your playing has other control schemes that will fit you comfortably
funnily enough I can play claw perfectly fine without even trying to learn anything, but learning paddles was a complete mess, at the end of the day I kept a regular grip due to health concerns from playing claw for years and found myself in love with the bumper jumper option in the cod games since now I can just jump with a bumper instead of the X (A on xbox) button and keep my grip intact
I use my thumb for buttons and my index finger moves from the bumper to the analog stick when I need it, maybe my fingers are just more flexible or something but it feels natural to me now. The only game I play with a controller is Dark Souls though, not sure that my version would work for FPS games.
I use claw grip only for cerain actions like weapon swaps in souls games or in fortnite to change my weapon loadout order. Do you use claw grip continuously or just as needed?
Hi, thanks for the very clear video, I started playing using the claw a week ago the issue I have right now is the pain in my right hand since I use my index for pressing the triangle, circle, square and x also to press R1 I think this made more strain on my index finger muscle which hurt right now. I will try the the middle and ring finger on R1/R2 tonight and index finger for buttons only. My concern when you play claw do you rest your controller on a horizontal surface like a desk or is it ok to keep it close from your body like normal grip.
Been playing claw for years now. As of this year, however, I've been feeling pain in my index finger. I've been holding the controller properly, and I have long fingers, so Idk why they're hurting all of a sudden. My issues aside, this is a very good video for people trying to learn claw/getting used to claw
As someone who is fortunate enough to also own an Xbox Series S and PS5, I find the Xbox Series controller more comfortable. I play claw and if theres a time that I’m not pressing A,B,X or Y, I simply rest my finger ( index ) on the diagonal with the tip of my finger pointing at the right stick. So the tip sits on the A button. If I am pressing something, naturally where the buttons are so much closer together ( as opposed to the PS controllers ) I found I can simply use the side of my finger ( again the index ) to press the B button while keeping the tip of it on top of the A button. And I basically do the same also for pressing either X or Y. If ya’ll are still using the Xbox ONE controller, that’s still great, but if u didn’t know the Series controllers are around 20% smaller so if u find you’re having to stretch a lot, then a Series Controller may be the move. The PS5 controller’s triggers feel a lot further down compares to the XBS X|S I’m not a fan of how Sony makes their D-Pad, to me I don’t like the rubbery membrane feel to them, they should feel just as good as the buttons do. If I ever get serious into playing PS, I’d defo like an Xbox Style controller ( the stick layout of the Xbox ) if anyone knows any that are Supported on PS5 then lmk.
