For claw grippers, the added rubber supporting area on top of the mouse further stabilizes mouse balance with this sixth contact points as the palm comfortably sits on the mouse. The Raptor further adopts a weight adjusting design, allowing gamers to personalize the mouse mass best suited for their feel and control.
