SPC Gear GEM Plus Review

Shape



The shape of the GEM Plus is best described as a mix between the Logitech G Pro Wireless and Zowie FK (and, by extension, the Glorious Model O/O-). It is a low-profile mouse with a medium-sized and slightly rounded hump that organically slopes down towards both ends and extends across the entire width. Both the front and back flare out quite a bit, whereas the middle stays slim, with the sides curving inward. In terms of size, it sits somewhere between the FK1 and FK2, although with a larger footprint than either. Overall, although not wholly novel, it is a somewhat unique shape that handles very well in practice. Whereas the LIX Plus had honeycomb-like hexagonal holes all over, the GEM Plus only has triangles on the bottom.


As for grip styles, I'd say the GEM Plus is generally suited for all three main grip styles; i.e., palm, claw, and fingertip grip. It's a medium-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 GEM Plus very comfortable in claw grip.
