Shape

The S480 Max is best described as a slightly smaller SCYROX V6. Much like the V6, the S480 Max shares some traits with mice such as the DAREU A950 Wing, RAWM ES21M, and VAXEE XE-S Wireless, as they all have a centered hump that gradually slopes down to both ends, and neither the front nor rear flare out to a significant degree. However, the hump of the S480 Max ends up the tallest out of all the aforementioned mice, adding to a bulkier and higher-profile appearance. While claw gripping the S480 Max is still possible, it fills the palm in a way that may restrict range of motion to some degree. Unlike the A950 Wing, the S480 Max has comfort grooves in the main buttons, and the main buttons are framed by ledges. Overall, while not a particularly original design, the S480 Max ends up working well in practice.


As for grip styles, I'd say the S480 Max is generally suited for palm and claw grip. It is a medium-sized mouse with a fairly pronounced hump, which should make it generally suit medium to larger hand sizes. For reference, my hands are 19 cm long and 10 cm wide, and I found the S480 Max comfortable in claw grip.

Dimensions

This table includes the dimensions of the Phylina S480 Max and several other ambidextrous 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.
