tldr; 69g wired honeycomb EC clone with BAMF sensor. Started budget ergo trend. Older now but still decent.

Best praise vs top criticism for Glorious Model D
“Have been an EC2 main for the past two years, so had to pick up the Vaxee E1 when I learned that it would be designed by one of the OG creators of the EC2 shape. I've been using it for the past few days and it feels great. Lighter, clean clicks that are easy to press and spam (this was my one gripe with the EC2 - M1 and M2 are connected to the shell and that made the clicks feel a bit clunky and mushy to me). To my hand, the E1 comes the closest to the EC2 in terms of shape. And I've tried them all: pulsar xlite v2 and v3, glorious model D, pwnage ultra custom, lamzu thorn, outset AX, NP-01, etc etc. It is slightly shorter and flatter than the EC2, but feels very fluid and comfortable in the hand. IMO you can see the clearest difference when comparing the bottom silhouettes”
“If you love ultralight mice but get pain where your ring finger hits the shell, try moving away from very slim ambidextrous shapes and into slightly wider, right-handed ergonomics that fill the right side of your hand. Top picks to test: Razer DeathAdder V4 Pro (light but wider, rounded hump), G-Wolves Skoll (large ergonomic, 125×68×42 mm), BenQ ZOWIE EC2 (pro ergonomic fit), or Glorious Model D (right-slanted). I’d avoid slim ambidextrous mice like the Viper V3 Pro if that exact corner is hurting — they perform great but commonly cause that specific irritation for people with ~19 cm hands. Try those shapes in order and see which fills the area where your ring finger rests. I use Puselfire Haste 2 for gaming and a G502 HERO for work, and I'm planning on buying the VXE R1 PRO this month.”
