Shape
Some minor differences in dimensions aside, the shape of the M3 4K is almost an exact copy of the Finalmouse Air58 shape. Much like the latter, the M3 4K is a genuinely large mouse, its above average width in particular being noteworthy, as neither the front nor back flare out much. The hump is centered, rather flat, and slopes down gradually towards both ends. Unlike on the Air58, which had the main buttons extend across the entire width, the ones on the M3 4K are framed by very slim ledges to the left and right. In addition, the main buttons feature fairly deep comfort grooves. Overall, a simple yet agreeable design that works well for larger hands in particular.
As for grip styles, I'd say the M3 4K is generally suited for palm and claw grip. It is a large mouse with a barely pronounced hump, which makes it suit medium to larger hands. For reference, my hands are 19 cm long and 10 cm wide, and I found the M3 4K very comfortable in claw grip.
