Shape



The easiest way to describe the shape of the Model D in terms of dimensions is as a mix between the Zowie EC1 and EC2, while being less bulky than the EC1, and with the back and front not flaring out as much as on the EC1. As a right-handed ergonomic design, the Model D has a raised left side, along with a narrow front that organically extends towards the back. While the left side has a major curve horizontally, the right side barely has any curves, which enables one to position the fingers freely. The hump sits right in the middle and slopes down gradually both towards the front and the back. The main buttons have minor comfort grooves. Another detail worth mentioning is that all the edges (particularly around the base) are rounded, which makes it very comfortable to rest one's fingers there. Overall, I consider the shape of the Model D an improvement over the EC shape.


While the Model D is a large mouse, it's still skinny enough to be used in all three main grip styles (palm, claw, and fingertip), and with most hand sizes. For reference, my hand size is 19x10 cm, and the Model D feels perfectly 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 main buttons. Measurements with two decimals have been taken with a caliper, while those with one decimal have been taken with a ruler.
