The GLORIOUS Model D- is an amazing ultra-light gaming mouse with an ergonomic shape that's very comfortable to use for those with small hands. It's smaller and lighter than the GLORIOUS Model D but offers the same features. It has a very wide CPI range that you can adjust in fairly small steps, and there's minimal CPI variation. It feels fairly well-built, but the body flexes easily and the side buttons feel mushy. However, the PFTE feet and the cable are both outstanding, making it very easy to glide around on your desk. The dedicated software allows you to reprogram any button and set RGB customization, but it's only available on Windows.

Our Verdict

0.0

The GLORIOUS Model D Minus is okay for office use. It's very comfortable to use and it's designed for those with small hands using the claw or palm grip. You can also reprogram any of its buttons. It feels fairly well-built, but the side buttons feel mushy and aren't as clicky as some other mice.

Pros
  • Designed for small or medium-sized hands with palm or claw grip.
  • Any button can be reprogrammed.
Cons
  • May be too small for larger hands.
  • Side buttons feel mushy.

  • Low click latency.
  • Glides around smoothly.
  • Very lightweight.

Ultra-Light Gaming 

The GLORIOUS D Minus is amazing for ultra-light gaming. It's much lighter than the GLORIOUS Model D, has outstanding feet, and the cable doesn't result in any drag. It's also very comfortable to use, especially for those with small hands.

Pros
  • Designed for small or medium-sized hands with palm or claw grip.
  • Low click latency.
  • Glides around smoothly.
  • Very lightweight.
Cons
  • May be too small for larger hands.

Travel 

The GLORIOUS Model D Minus is bad for travel. It's light but it may be too bulky to carry around in some laptop cases because of its wire. It feels fairly well-built, but the body flexes a bit. It's a comfortable mouse to use and works best with small hands using claw or palm grip.

Pros
  • Designed for small or medium-sized hands with palm or claw grip.
Cons
  • May be too small for larger hands.
  • Side buttons feel mushy.
  • Wired-only design too bulky for travel.
