[TotW] Am I Doing it Wrong?

Recently I learned that a friend of mine uses his middle finger to scroll the mouse wheel. I thought it was the wildest thing, like it broke my brain. It was like the time I found out people hold a banana by the step like an ice cream cone. So, now I have to ask, does anybody else use their middle finger to scroll the mouse wheel? If you do, does this mean you use your ring finger to right-click?

I must know!

we've evolved multiple fingers for a reason did we not? I mean sure....it wasn't with gaming and computer mouse with scroll wheels in mind....but it works.

Ever since I've played a game where the scroll wheel was present on a mouse and had/could have a function i've used my middle finger on it and ring finger on right click. Even if scroll wheel is only a passive function like changing weapons it just makes that process smoother for me especially in FPS games when you can aim and be ready to fire all while switching weapons without reaching for another button. Always seemed natural for me. biggest issue I have is that SOMETIMES i'll rest my middle finger with my ring on the right click but because of this my middle finger will rub on the wheel and cause me to change weapons or whatever in the midst of playing when I dont mean to do so...and that usually causes a cascade effect of in the game play LOL.

I use both my middle and the index to scroll. I just don't think about it because it comes unconsciously. Sometimes my index tendon gets tired and I use my middle even for the left click. My ring finger is what I use for the right-click at all times.
It's a good topic this week. It's fun to read about how others use their mice lol

This is wild! I never considered this could be a comfortable posture for people, but I can totally see the benefits

I recently upgraded to the Razer Deathadder Essential, thought it was a good idea, and it kinda was, but I realized that there was a problem. The mouse was kinda big, bigger than I first anticipated it to be. I'm having a hard time getting used to this mouse. I went to buy this mouse with my cousin, and he said, that I'll eventually get used to it. is it true, I'm struggling now, but if I keep using this mouse, will I get good with it. How should I grip the Deadthadder Essential? Are there any kid YouTuber, who use the Deathadder Essential, even though they have small hands? Someone, please help me out with this

You are on the right track. Scrolling with your middle finger is far more efficient than using your index finger to scroll down a page - seriously, try it! The quickest way to scroll on Facebook or Instagram will be with the pad of each of your three fingers, using whichever one feels most comfortable. You'll zip around much faster this way.
