Shape



Though the dimensions are not an exact match, the shape of the Aria II is, by all intents and purposes, identical to that of the Aria XD7, and therefore, by extension, near-identical to that of the Razer Orochi V2. When compared to the Orochi V2, even subtleties such as how the main buttons are shaped are highly similar. That said, even though the relative dimensions are almost a match, the absolute dimensions aren't, as the Aria II is significantly larger. Much like on the Orochi V2, the left side is concave, whereas the right side is convex, the hump is centered and fairly tall, yet slopes down quite rapidly towards both ends, and the main buttons feature moderately deep comfort grooves. Due to the significant difference in size, however, the Aria II handles very differently. Relative to its size, the Orochi V2 is a fairly wide mouse, which applies to an even greater degree to the Aria II. Hence, despite being a medium to small mouse overall, the Aria II lends itself to medium to large hands merely by virtue of its above average width. People with wide yet shorter hands in particular may find the Aria II a particularly good fit.


As for grip styles, I'd say the Aria II mostly suits claw and fingertip grip. It is a medium to small mouse with a pronounced hump and above average width, which should make it generally suit medium-sized and larger hands. For reference, my hands are 19 cm long and 10 cm wide, and I found the Aria II very comfortable in claw grip.
