Glorious Model D- Review

Shape



While the Model D is a variation of the EC1 shape, the Model D- is a variation of the EC2 shape. Calling it a clone would not be appropriate, though, since there are several key differences between these two shapes. For one, the left side is still raised and the hump centered on the Model D, but the hump itself isn't as tall, which makes it less restrictive in terms of grip style. Furthermore, where the EC2 has more round edges at the front, the Model D- flares out a bit more aggressively, although the overall width isn't all that different. In that regard, the D- also differs from the Model D, which stays slim all the way to the front. Finally, the Model D- is not as bulky as the EC2, although the difference isn't massive. Much like on the Model D, all edges of the mouse are rounded on the D-, and the main buttons have somewhat pronounced comfort grooves. Overall, a well-rounded, easily adapted to shape.


As for grip styles, I'd say the Model D- is generally suited for all three main grip styles: palm, claw, and fingertip grip. It's a medium-sized mouse with a fairly pronounced hump, which should make it suitable for most hand sizes. For reference, my hands are 19 cm long and 10 cm wide, and I found the Model D- very comfortable in claw grip.



Dimensions

This table includes the dimensions of the Glorious Model D- and several other right-handed ergonomic mice. "Front height" denotes the distance between the base and the main buttons. Measurements with two decimals have been taken with a caliper, while those with one decimal have been taken with a ruler. For a full list of all measurements taken, please refer to this sheet compiled by an esteemed community member.
