LOL! It reminds me of this cognitive test I had to take where they give you different problems to solve and they make you click through it like that. I think it is designed to lower your score because it's so uncomfortable, you are distracted by the mouse and not focused on the test.

My man hands already need a large mouse, trying to use 3 fingers all at the same time would require an enormous mouse.

not really NEEDED to have all 3 at once, but thats how i have always used mice since i ever got my hands on them, i only learned today that people only use 2 fingers to press the mouse buttons. the idea of moving a finger left and right to do 2 actions when all my fingers can stay in place and just press the one i need was pretty surprising to me. if by "you are regularly doing it" you mean thats how i use the mouse all day everyday then yes thats how i use mice all day everyday. also if you wanna get technical about it, i think not having to switch your finger's place between buttons leaves less room for error or slipping but i would assume like most things in life this wouldnt really happen if you are already used to using only 2 fingers for years

Yeah, maybe there's some kind of game you could make that would require it, but as far as i know, it doesn't exist now.

same thing for me with trying out the middle index only method, my hand feels pretty uncomfortable lol

by christiansenjul 5 months ago

I'm only 25 and still 20 years behind :( But no. Op is right. I always use my ring and middle with my index just kinda chilling in the air

by Shanahantomasa 5 months ago

That's not like OP; that's even weirder bro. Your index just sticks out for real?

It's giving "brake pedal with left foot" energy

That feels like something you'd see a ragged detective, with a cup of stale coffee, a cigarette, and sleep deprivation doing in a 90s suspense movie.

I was confused for a solid minute because my ring finger doesn't even reach the right click, but then I remembered I'm left handed

Ew who uses middle finger for scrolling?

by Rough-Cause-7243 5 months ago

Me.

wait, since when? How? I'm probably not the best person as I use a trackball or trackpad.

by Intelligent-Beach658 5 months ago

True, but when deciding how to hold a mouse, scroll wheels hadn't been invented yet.

by eldridgemaggio 5 months ago

this is the first time i heard of mice not having scroll wheels initially thats interesting, anyways none of my friends (or me) are that old and as far as i know they (and i) weren't particularly taught how to hold a mouse by someone else so its probably just preference (they use index middle)

by christiansenjul 5 months ago

OMG I'm like you OP that's not the normal way? Wtf

My middle finger can't bend the way my index does when scrolling. The middle part of the finger kinds looks like an inverted knee.

I had to do some experimental right clicking to see if you were right. You are. That's how I do it already.
