can never go back, this is exactly how I play. No discomfort.

Imma try claw with my dog. Thanks for the tips.

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

Thank you man i rest my ring finger now on the r2 instead of the back of my controller. All the pain is gone. Ur a legend

Thanks dude, appreciate this info

Legend, thanks dude.

Good clip my dude. I switched to claw in february, took me 2 months to get used to it, but was worth it. I do have my middlefinger on the trigger tho without any pain, guess I have strange hands. Greetings from germany

Thx I have small but kinda long fingers I've been playing claw already just thx for the more comfortable positions

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

Thanks man! My hand was hurting, I have big hands and gonna try this

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.

Im just in here because i started doing this subconciously when playing games and my finger hurts

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?

Small hands gang, have been trying to learn claw but it kinda hurts with my tiny fingers

Thanks man i was trying out claw for the day and my middle finger was hurting because I was trying to use that as my trigger finger. much appreciated

such a good video

I didn't even know this was a thing.. i figured it out on my own like 10 years ago 😅

thanks big bro

it’s crazy man i’ve always played claw lol people started to realize it and im like shit i got motion twin

Thank you

I'm only use to 1 finger per trigger and bumper so I rest my index in between y and b so I can easily press RB and LB. I also play 2 paddles on an elite 1 on the left to maximize optimization and comfort while not sacrificing my aim.

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.

Nice

thank you omg

Thanks!

Why my wrist hurts after playing with no support under the controller?

My wrist and hand thanks you :-D

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?

I’m giving this a try and it’s actually pretty good. But instead of their being pain in my wrist(which is gone cause of this new grip you showed me), my pinky is kinda hurting a bit. Not sharp or anything but it just feels super weird after a little while. Is this alright? Feel like it will go away

I tried the same but i have problems getting my finger on the button without stretching

Thanks for the vid man, was wondering if I'm the only one that can't press the both triggers with the middle finger and has to bring the Ring Finger up😂 Turns out I'm not alone Keep up the great work man and nice video quality👍

Nice tutorial! Which controller between these two are more comfortable for claw grip??

Smash Bros Melee players relate to this

Amen

Alrigjt here we go

Ik im like 2 years late lol, but do you have both of your left fingers on the left trigger and bumper?

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?

1:31 what da dog doin

only game that made me play this way was gears .. im a natural at it .. i only use it for a few games tho .. like gears nd dark souls

Yooo, i have a big question ... I've been suffering from osteoarthritis for years and have problems playing... Do you have any tips?

1:27 xD

hey bro. you find the ps5 easier or harder to play claw than the ps4 controller? got a ps5 on the way and was hearing rumours that claw would be harder (I've been playing claw on the ps4 for a couple years with no pain or trouble at all) Great vid though thanks for the insight!

Pressing the damn buttons so hard lmao and pressing down on LS kinda akward

1:31 wich race is your dog?

Which controller do you find more comfortable/better?

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.

I'm trying to use this for MLB the show....so left stick side 😫

I play claw and dont do the double finger on the triggers just use ur middle finger to hit r1 an r2

Should you be using the inside of your finger to press the face buttons or the tip of your finger?

i just boke my finger and waited to heal and now its much easier

Wouldn’t you have like zero grip? I don’t understand how one can be good with no grip which leads to lack of control

I Hood like that sens 2019

You got my sub for that dog controller

My right ring finger hurts so bad?

My aim is sooo bad when I play like this is this normal? And btw I keep clicking R1 on accident everytime i click on the face buttons

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.

I wish Xbox had better pad controllers. I’ve bought the 8bitdo and horipad but they have unbearably high deadzones. Pisses me off that companies make controllers with such high deadzones to “combat stick drift” when every game has their own deadzone adjustment setting

There better be controllers suitable for claw gripping

Isn’t that called spider claw?

I have small hands and ps5 controller is so painful for me

#smallhandsgang

i just set my settings to Tactical

Yo I've been playing claw for like 6 months the biggest problem I faced was my aim it's only getting back to normal now

Which controller is easier for claw?

The ps5 interface became very slow and I cannot use the controller, and also I could not stop the Sony from the pause button I stop the Sumi from the cable What is the solution please

Ring finger in R2? 🤮 , best Claw grip Left index = L1 and L2 Right index = X,O, square, triangle, touch pad and R1 Right middle finger = R2

Ive done this but my pinky gets sore and my wrist cramps

That looks painful AF

As a comfort freak I find myself in the existential crisis trying to slide cancel and bhop in warzone with dualsense There is no back paddle variants of dualsense, no back button yet, and I can't really play claw on a religion level, it ruins all the comfort of dualsense, even if it won't hurt I can map my controller thru DS4Windows to have jump on L3 but yeah from such frequent usage it won't last long enough

Dude the xbox controller is so weird you cant even claw with both hands. Thumb to press the d-pad no thanks

controller peasants trying to not break their hands while refusing to just use kbm /s

Do ppl actually play like this? I dont know how yall play like that

Xbox controller is just bad
