For those who don't know about it, this is what it looks like:

I notice that when I attempt to claw and play my ps3 controller with claw on cod,BF, gta etc. for about 30 minutes or so, my right hand (doing the claw) gets a little stiff than usual...Should I stop attempting to claw? If so, is there any other hurtless ways to do so?

 

My hands are not that big, just adding that piece of info

I never found claw useful enough to actually do it. Made my hands hurt.

holding the controller in a claw grip make it so you can use the X, O, triangle and square buttons (or Xbox's equivalent buttons) while also having your thumb on the right thumb stick (so effectively that you can for example jump, duck, switch weapons or reload while also being able to aim).

It can be an advantage and some professional gamers play like it, but many also use a "SCUF" controller which has 'paddles' on the back which are these four buttons. (like the Xbox One Elite controller also has)

I guess, except it does make it noticeably better to snipe in gta online though...Allows your thumbs to stay on the analog sticks while at the same time allowing you to sprint while sniping

Kind of have a point there, but at the same time I like my sniping to be more efficient in gta but that's just me

Just do a don't. I mean, unless you value dem snipes over a lot of hand pain. Then do a do.

Tip to those that are new on LTT forum- quote a post so that the person you are quoting gets a notification, otherwise they'll have no idea that you did. You can also use a tag such as @Ryoutarou97 (replace my username with anyone's. You should get a dropdown after you type the "@")to send a notification, but quoting is preferable.

 

Feel free to PM me about absolutely anything be it tech, math, literature, etc. I'll try my best to help. I'm currently looking for a cheap used build for around $25 to set up as a home server if anyone is selling.

 

If you are a native speaker please use proper English if you can. Punctuation, capitalization, and spelling are as important to making your message readable as proper night theme formatting is.

 

My build is fully operational, but won't be posted until after I get a GPU in it and the case arted up.

Yeah still thinking about that, but I kept hearing that the pc version is dead that you can't get into heists and jobs and stuff..Plus I  heard there are equal amount of hackers on there compared to pc...But again this is just stuff I heard

not played for ages, kinda of had my fill, but was mostly interested in the single player anyway :D

I never had an issue with heists because I only ever played online in a lobby with friends on comms :D
