Baidu Shadow Stick 3S Custom Edition continues the concise style of previous generations of products in appearance design. The black body adopts frosted sanding technology. Although the material is engineering plastic, the overall feel is excellent.


The appearance of the common boxy shape is abandoned and the overall design is more rounded.
