Strictly speaking it's not perfect tracking as it's an infamous Avago ADNS-9500 laser sensor, but it's one of the best implementations so it gets the job done at high sensitivity very well indeed. At least compared to the horrendously bad implementation in, for example, the Logitech G500
My grip of choice is fingertip grip when playing FPS games or during fast paced desktop use, reverting to palm grip during casual desktop use. As it's an ambidextrous mouse, when I'm bored I tend to switch hand (I'm a lefty but mostly use the mouse with my right hand).
When playing extremely high speed games like osu!, I make up for my lack of Wacom tablet by holding the mouse in a weird approximation of a pen grip combined with fingertip grip, with no fingers on the top/buttons, the mouse held diagonally and as many fingers as possible on the right hand side with the others floating or dragging on the mat.

Ahhh right....
That brings this up...I find it easier and more fluent to use the back button and the zoom button mapped to be the forward button for quick page and directory navigation.

That paints a novel
Weird way really but when I tried it it's kind of more comfortable then fully embracing the mouse with full palm grip, I guess, I'll try it to see how it works for long periods, thanks! 
Also, you have more control over the mouse that way Ah yes, the MX revolution is way much better then the Performance MX from what I read online but since it's out of production...

If you get carpal tunnel from doing so you only have my permission to beat me with the hand connected to the bad wristThat paints a novel
I have a scope node at work (bought in China, but at least it looks like a Scope Node):
Since I use the mouse at work with my left hand, I don't really notice the "pen effect", but I like the mouse, and it is pretty easy to bring with you.
At home I have a MX Revolution (I actually have two of these, but I have lost the USB dongle for one of em ):
Quite good, but hopeless for gaming, so I bought a G700, which I really like (except for it's battery life):

I forget the brand name of my mouse. I believe the lettering has warn off sometime ago.
I know Microsoft's drivers says its a "HID-complaint mouse" which tells me its using the generic drivers. Although I'm partly sure its an old Logitech (maybe Microsoft, but I'm banking more on it being a Logitech).
The label in the back just reads, "3D Optical Mouse".
It has three buttons. Left, right, and the middle scroll wheel can also be clicked. It uses that nice red motion detection sensor, but it does hook up using the old ps/2 port (mouse port). I have another one exactly like it, but that one uses USB.
My grip would be a cross between palm and claw. But a little more towards palm. The buttons and mouse is long enough that I can relax a little more, but placing my hand further back, rather than having to move it all the way up on the mouse.

I use the G600 for gaming, but it's also one of the best productivity mouses I know of due to the 20+ buttons that are configurable for almost any application.
Anyone who uses a claw grip should either buy a bigger/higher mouse, or try and break the habit as it is very bad for your hand and wrist over extended use.
