Shape

The Z1 Pro closely follows the concept of the Fantech Aria XD7: taking the shape of the Razer Orochi V2, but increasing its size across the board. Accordingly, the Z1 Pro and Aria XD7 are very similar as well, although the Z1 Pro is slightly shorter and most notably narrower. Much like on the Orochi V2, the left side is concave, whereas the right side is convex, the hump is centered and fairly tall, yet slopes down quite rapidly towards both ends, and the main buttons feature moderately deep comfort grooves. Due to not being as wide as the Aria XD7, the Z1 Pro may be considered a better fit for smaller hands. In short, the design is far from unique, but works well in practice.


As for grip styles, I'd say the Z1 Pro is generally suited for claw and fingertip grip. It is a medium-sized to small mouse with a moderately pronounced hump, which makes it generally suit medium to small hands. For reference, my hands are 19 cm long and 10 cm wide, and I found the Z1 Pro very comfortable in claw grip.

Dimensions

This table includes the dimensions of the Zaopin Z1 Pro and several other ambidextrous and 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. For a full list of all measurements taken, please refer to this sheet compiled by an esteemed community member.


Below are some comparison shots with each of the measured mice.
