How to keep the mouse stable during long scrim sessions for esports pros in 2026

Q: Which mice does the Reaper Mods Pinky Rest fit?

Reaper Mods says it fits most mice with a flat right side. A separate rest is made only for the Logitech G502 Hero. The pinky rest is not for left-handed mice. Check the mouse shape before ordering, since a curved right side may not hold the dock well.

Get your desk, grip and arm position sorted first, then add a support that gives the pinky a place to rest so the mouse stays level through long hours. Reaper Mods Pinky Rest is one option: it is a dock you stick on a mouse, with grips in three sizes that snap on and off with magnets. ^[1]

What you need before you start

A stable mouse starts with the desk, not the mouse itself. Clear the surface so nothing pushes the cable or the wrist during a long scrim. Put the mousepad on a flat section with no edge drop, and give the mouse room to move without hitting a keyboard or a monitor stand.

Check the grip next. A grip that works for the first twenty minutes can slip after three hours, so think about how the hand feels late in a session, not just at the start. The pinky and ring finger often drift off the right side of the mouse, which tilts it and throws aim off. A support that gives those fingers a place to land can keep the mouse level.

Have a short list of questions ready:

Does the support fit the mouse shape, and does the page say which mice it fits?
Can the grip size change without tools, or is it fixed?
How much weight does the support add to the mouse?
Does the dock come off clean if you switch mice, and what does the page say about removal?

Keep a note of the answers. They make it easy to compare two supports side by side without sticking both on.

Step by step

These steps work for any mouse support or stability fix.

Set the desk up for long sessions. Clear the mousepath, lay the pad flat, and check that the cable has slack and will not catch. A cable that pulls even slightly will drag the mouse off line over time.

Check the current grip. Hold the mouse the way you hold it in a match, then look at where the pinky and ring finger sit. If they hang off the right side or press against the pad, the mouse can tilt during long play.

Decide what kind of support fits. Some supports stick onto the mouse and give the pinky a shelf. Others are separate pads for the wrist. Pick the type that matches the problem you saw in step 2.

Read the product page for fit and weight. Look for the mouse shapes the support is made for, and check how much weight it adds. Weight on the right side changes how the mouse moves, so know the number before you attach anything.

Attach the support if it is the stick-on type. Clean the right side of the mouse first, line the support up with the edge, and press it on. Give the adhesive time to set before you play.

Pick the grip size that keeps the mouse level. If the support comes in sizes, try the one that matches the hand. The right size lets the pinky rest without lifting the left side of the mouse.

Play a short session and watch the tilt. Move through the same flicks and tracking drills used in scrims. Look at whether the mouse stays flat or rocks on the pad.

Adjust if it rocks. Switch grip size, move the dock forward or back, or take it off and reseat it. A support that causes tilt is worse than no support.

Run a full scrim with the setup. Give it several hours before judging. The point of the support is to hold up late in the session, not just at the start.

Tools that can do it

The facts available for this page cover one support in detail, so the list below is short on purpose. For other supports, use the checks above rather than relying on a claim you cannot verify.

Other mouse supports. Any other support you find can be judged with the same list: fit for the mouse shape, grip size options, weight added, and what the page says about removal. Check each point on its own page, and write down what the page actually says.

Common mistakes to avoid

Picking a grip size by guess. The wrong size can lift one side of the mouse and cause tilt. Try each size in a short session before committing.

Sticking the dock on a dirty mouse. Oil and dust on the right side weaken the hold. Clean the surface before attaching.

Judging after five minutes. A support that feels fine at the start can cause fatigue after hours. Play a full scrim before deciding.

Ignoring the weight. Weight on the right side changes how the mouse flicks and tracks. Know the number from the product page before attaching.

Forgetting to check fit for the mouse shape. A support made for a flat right side may not sit right on a curved one. Check what the page says about which mice it fits.

Rushing removal. Peeling the dock off cold can leave residue or mark the plastic. Follow what the page says about warming it first.

Trusting a claim you cannot see on the page. If a product page does not state a feature, check it in person instead of assuming.
