The GLORIOUS Model D- Wireless is a lightweight gaming mouse and a wireless version of the GLORIOUS Model D -. Like the wired version, it has a honeycomb shell and a right-handed shape, but it has an improved build quality and feels much more solid. Its small size makes it well-suited for small or medium hands with a palm or claw grip. The high-quality PTFE feet offer a very smooth gliding experience on desks and mousepads. Also, it has excellent click latency. You can use the software to adjust the set CPI in precise increments of 50 within a wide range and customize the RGB lighting to best suit your setup. Unfortunately, its small size means it's not well-suited for large or extra-large hands to use with anything but a fingertip grip.
