SPC Gear LIX Plus Review

Shape



The shape of the LIX Plus is best described as a mix between the Logitech G Pro Wireless and the Zowie FK (and, by extension, the Glorious Model O/O-). It's a low profile mouse with a centralized and medium-sized flat hump which 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 being curved inwards. 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's a somewhat unique shape that handles very well in practice. Another thing to note is that the honeycomb pattern is present on the sides too. Personally, I wasn't irritated by this as the honeycombs themselves aren't shaped in an intrusive way, resulting in additional grip instead.


As for grip styles, it's mostly suited for claw or fingertip grip. Palm grip works passably but isn't ideal. The LIX Plus is a medium-sized mouse and should thus fit most hand sizes. For reference, my hands are 19 cm long and 10 cm wide, and I found the LIX Plus very comfortable in claw grip.
