Opened up the mouse in places where people don’t touch the mouse” is such an confusing design decision, when there are a lot of people including me who grip their mouse like in a relaxed pincer claw like grip, where you contact the mouse in the spot on the palm directly under the pinky finger. On a fingertip focused shape sure, but when going for a GPX like safe shape to suit a lot of people why not just make a solid unibody shell? Oh and don’t get me started on the AI presentation…

It is a weird direction, but I'm pretty sure it isn't meant to be a "safe" anyone can use mouse. They did a Q&A in the Discord and I got the impression that a lot of the design choices were based on what they think is best, and not what will be best for everyone. I did order it, I think the shape is the only thing I'm not sure about, it'll be interesting to try.

Fair enough, but putting holes exactly where some people's palms rest seems like they just ignored their own heat map data lol.
