Shape

At first glance, the shape of the K1NG 8K may look ordinary, but finding similar ones isn't that easy, actually. Bordering on small, the K1NG 8K works reasonably well with larger hands due to its wide back, providing palm support in conjunction with the moderately pronounced hump, which is positioned more towards the back. The front stays almost the same width as the middle, and only widens marginally towards the top. The way the back flares integrate into the sides is somewhat reminiscent of the SteelSeries Sensei or Endgame Gear XM2, and affords good stability. The main buttons feature very shallow comfort grooves. Overall, a neutral yet well-balanced design.


As for grip styles, I'd say the K1NG 8K is suited for both palm and claw grip. It is a medium to small-sized mouse with a moderately 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 K1NG 8K very comfortable in claw grip.
