The GLORIOUS Model D 2 Wireless is a lightweight, wireless gaming mouse that continues the GLORIOUS Model D lineup. This new version shares the same right-handed shape as the original GLORIOUS Model D Wireless but now supports Bluetooth connectivity and has smaller, circular-shaped weight-saving cutouts in the palm rest. This new model also has an updated sensor package, a significantly better battery life, and more subdued branding.
Our Verdict
The GLORIOUS Model D 2 Wireless is okay but not specifically designed for work use. It has impressive build quality and a comfortable right-handed shape suitable for medium- and larger-sized hands. You can also reprogram any of its buttons using the configuration software. It connects wirelessly with its USB receiver for better stability in congested wireless spaces or via Bluetooth for better battery consumption.
- You can reprogram all buttons using the configuration software.
- Impressive build quality.
- Connects wirelessly via USB receiver or Bluetooth.
- Scroll wheel lacks productivity features like tilt inputs and free-scrolling.
The GLORIOUS Model D 2 Wireless is an impressive mouse for playing FPS games, but it's best suited for more casual players. It's very lightweight and has superb overall sensor performance in the middle and end of mouse movements. However, it has significantly worse sensor latency at the start of movement than competing FPS models. Additionally, its wireless click latency performance is only adequate and very inconsistent, introducing enough delay to impact performance if you're a competitive player.
- Lightweight.
- Impressive build quality.
- Superb mid- and end-of-movement sensor latency performance.
- Click latency performance is only adequate for casual gaming.
- Significantly worse latency performance at the start of movement.
The GLORIOUS Model D 2 Wireless isn't designed specifically for MMO gaming. It has fewer programmable buttons compared to dedicated MMO models. That said, it has impressive build quality and a comfortable right-handed design that is best suited for medium- and larger-sized hands. It has super overall sensor performance, particularly at the half and end of your mouse movements. Unfortunately, it has a slower-than-average delay to start of movement results and only adequate click latency. However, these weaknesses aren't a major concern for playing MMO games and are more impactful if you also play fast-paced, competitive FPS titles.
- You can reprogram all buttons using the configuration software.
- Impressive build quality.
- Click latency performance is only adequate for casual gaming.
- Fewer buttons than dedicated MMO gaming mice models.
The GLORIOUS Model D 2 Wireless provides excellent overall performance for casual gaming but has several weaknesses that make it unsuitable for high-level competitive gaming. Specifically, its click latency is adequate but very inconsistent and is significantly higher than competing gaming models. The sensor latency performance faithfully tracks during the middle and end of mouse movements. Unfortunately, it has a significantly worse delay to the start of movement results compared to similar wireless gaming mice we've tested. While you won't notice this delay on-screen, it can impact performance if you play at a highly competitive level. For more details, see the Sensor Latency section.
- Superb mid- and end-of-movement sensor latency performance.
- Click latency performance is only adequate for casual gaming.
- Significantly worse latency performance at the start of movement.

Differences Between Sizes And Variants
The GLORIOUS Model D 2 Wireless is available in a Black or White colorway; we tested the White colorway, and you can see the label of our unit here. This mouse also has a wired variant, the GLORIOUS Model D 2, which we've tested separately.
Additional models in this lineup, the GLORIOUS Model D 2 Pro and the GLORIOUS Model D 2 Pro 4K/8KHz Edition, are also available. However, the test results in this review do not apply to these models, which share the same shape but have solid body designs, optical switches, and support for higher polling rates that we expect will result in significantly different performance results.
Popular Mouse Comparisons
The GLORIOUS Model D 2 Wireless continues the GLORIOUS Model D lineup. Like earlier models in the lineup, it shares the same right-handed 'ergo' shape but now supports Bluetooth connectivity and has smaller circular-shaped cutouts in the body to reduce its overall weight. Visual changes include reduced branding and the removal of any RGB lighting in the scroll wheel. This new model also uses GLORIOUS's revised BAMF 2.0 26K Optical Sensor and has a considerably longer advertised battery life.
Overall, this mouse is well-suited for casual gaming. Unfortunately, its click latency is high and inconsistent, so it isn't suitable for playing competitively. Apart from a significantly improved advertised battery life, this mouse doesn't offer a significant upgrade over the previous generation GLORIOUS Model D Wireless, and it performs significantly worse than competing wireless models with similar shapes, like the Pulsar Xlite V3 or the more premium-priced Razer DeathAdder V3 Pro.

Both the Logitech G PRO X SUPERLIGHT and the GLORIOUS Model D 2 Wireless are lightweight gaming mice. The Logitech has a symmetrical shape that accommodates a wider set of hand sizes and grip types. It also offers significantly better gaming performance and is a bit lighter, despite having a solid shell design compared to the GLORIOUS, which has small circular holes in its body to cut down on weight. The GLORIOUS also has a slightly larger right-handed shape that's best suited for medium- and larger-sized hands, and it has RGB lighting and Bluetooth connectivity, two features the Logitech lacks.
The Razer DeathAdder V3 Pro and the GLORIOUS Model D 2 Wireless are lightweight, wireless gaming mice with similar right-handed shapes. The Razer performs better overall, and for a separate purchase, you can buy a Razer HyperPolling Dongle, which slightly increases the total performance ceiling by increasing the maximum polling rate to 8000Hz. The Razer is also noticeably lighter despite having a solid plastic frame compared to the GLORIOUS, which has small circular cutouts for weight saving. Comparatively, the GLORIOUS doesn't support polling rates higher than 1000Hz, but it has RGB lighting and Bluetooth support, which are features the Razer lacks.
The GLORIOUS Model O 2 Wireless and the GLORIOUS Model D 2 Wireless are lightweight gaming mice with different shapes. The Model O 2 Wireless is a bit smaller and has a symmetrical shape, while the larger Model D 2 Wireless has a right-handed shape. The two mice also have the same internal components. GLORIOUS has significantly improved the sensor and click latency performance of the Model O 2 Wireless with firmware updates since its launch, making it the better choice for competitive gaming.
The GLORIOUS Model D 2 Wireless is a new version of the original GLORIOUS Model D Wireless. The two have the same right-handed shape and are virtually the same weight, but the newer Model D 2 Wireless has significantly longer battery life and now supports Bluetooth connectivity. It also has small circular weight-saving cutouts in the body, while the original has larger honeycomb-shaped cutouts. Unfortunately, while the new model has an updated sensor package, it performs worse and has higher click latency, making it less suitable than its predecessor for competitive gaming.
