The GLORIOUS Model D is an excellent gaming mouse that's designed to be as light as possible. It's a more ergonomic version of the ambidextrous GLORIOUS Model O and performs very well. It's very comfortable to use and is better suited for palm or claw grips. Its honeycomb pattern design makes it very lightweight, the feet glide very well, and it even comes with additional skates. It features RGB lighting and can be customized with presets inside its software.
Our Verdict
The GLORIOUS Model D is an okay office mouse. It has a comfortable right-slanted design and is very well-built. The two side buttons can also help with making web browsing a bit easier. Although its cable is amazingly light, it still doesn't offer the versatility of a wireless design.

- Comfortable to use for a wide range of hand sizes and grips.
- Amazing cable.

- Model O is a better option if you use a fingertip grip.
The GLORIOUS Model D is great for FPS games. Its click latency is very low, it's a very lightweight mouse, and its right-slanted design is comfortable to use. However, if you use a fingertip grip, you'll be better off with an ambidextrous mouse like the Model O, and smaller hands might even prefer looking at the GLORIOUS Model O-. Its feet are great, and you can even stick the included larger skates if you prefer them.

The GLORIOUS Model D is an excellent lightweight gaming mouse, although there are some lighter options like the Finalmouse Ultralight 2 - Cape Town. However, the Model D has a nice and comfortable ergo, right-slanted design that's very comfortable for a wide range of grips and hand sizes. It also has dedicated software for customization options and it feels very well-built. See our recommendations for the best gaming mice, the best wireless gaming mice, and the best mice overall.
The GLORIOUS Model O and the GLORIOUS Model D are both ultra-light gaming mice that perform very similarly. The main difference is the shape of these two mice. The Model O is an ambidextrous mouse, while the Model D has a right-slanted design. The Model D also has a higher lift-off distance and seems to have more flex than the Model O.
The GLORIOUS Model D and the HyperX Pulsefire Haste are both wired, lightweight gaming mice with comparable performance. The GLORIOUS has a right-handed shape and a slightly more flexible cable. It also has marginally better click latency, though users are unlikely to notice a difference between them. On the other hand, the HyperX has an ambidextrous shape and is lighter. It also feels slightly sturdier overall and has both a wider CPI range and a lower lift-off distance.
The GLORIOUS Model D and the Razer DeathAdder Essential are wired right-handed gaming mice, but the GLORIOUS is a better choice if you prefer ultra-light mice. The GLORIOUS has a honeycomb design, which helps make it much lighter. Otherwise, it has a more flexible cable, smoother-gliding mouse feet, a higher maximum CPI, and lower click latency. On the other hand, the Razer has a lower minimum CPI, more programmable inputs thanks to its HyperShift feature. Unfortunately, it doesn't have onboard memory like the GLORIOUS does.
The GLORIOUS Model D and the Razer Viper are both excellent choices for ultra-light gaming. The two mice have a similar shape and weigh almost the same, but the GLORIOUS features a honeycomb body and has multiple RGB zones, giving it a more gamer-centric look. On the other hand, the Razer has an ambidextrous design that feels more solid overall. It also has two side buttons on each side, while the GLORIOUS only has two standard ones on the left side. Performance-wise, the Razer has a better sensor with a wider CPI range, less CPI variation, and a lower lift-off distance.
