Notice: This mice was replaced by GLORIOUS Model D 2 Wireless

The GLORIOUS Model D Wireless is an ultra-lightweight wireless gaming mouse with honeycomb cutouts on its palm rest and underside. It has two side buttons on the left, a dedicated CPI button behind its scroll wheel, and RGB lighting along both sides and on the scroll wheel. It has a comfortable, right-handed shape suitable for all grip types and most hand sizes, and it connects either wirelessly with a USB receiver or with its charging cable. Performance-wise, it has excellent click latency, a very low lift-off distance, and you can adjust the CPI by increments of 50 within a very wide range.

Our Verdict

0.0
Work 

The GLORIOUS Model D Wireless is good for office and multimedia work. It feels well-built and has a comfortable right-handed shape suitable for all grip types and most hand sizes. It connects either wirelessly with its USB receiver or with its charging cable, and you can customize all of its button assignments using the companion software compatible with Windows. Unfortunately, it doesn't support Bluetooth, and its scroll wheel lacks L/R tilt buttons and a free-scrolling mode.

Pros
  • Feels well-built.
  • All buttons are reprogrammable.
  • Connects wirelessly with its USB receiver.
Cons
  • Bulky; may not fit in most laptop cases.
  • No Bluetooth support.
  • Mouse wheel lacks L/R tilt buttons and a free-scrolling mode.

Video Games (FPS) 

The GLORIOUS Model D Wireless is an excellent FPS gaming mouse. It feels well-built and is very lightweight. It has a comfortable, right-handed shape suitable for all grip types and most hand sizes; however, small hands may not comfortably reach both side buttons or the scroll wheel using a claw or fingertip grip. It also has a flexible paracord-like charging cable and mouse feet that glide very smoothly on desks and mousepads. Additionally, its click latency and minimum lift-off distance are very low, and you can precisely adjust the CPI by increments of 50 within a very wide range.

Pros
  • Very lightweight.
  • Feels well-built.
  • Very low click latency.
Cons
  • Bulky; may not fit in most laptop cases.
  • Plastic body feels thin, and there's some minor flex on the underside and in the joint where the sides meet the base.

Video Games (MMO) 

The GLORIOUS Model D Wireless is decent for MMO gaming, but it doesn't have nearly as many side buttons as a dedicated MMO gaming mouse. That said, you can program all of the buttons it does have using the customization software. It also feels well-built and has a comfortable, right-handed shape suitable for all grip types and nearly all hand sizes. Performance-wise, it has very low click latency, a very low lift-off distance, and you can precisely adjust the CPI by increments of 50 within a very wide range.

Pros
  • Feels well-built.
  • All buttons are reprogrammable.
  • Very low click latency.
Cons
  • Not nearly as many side buttons as a dedicated MMO gaming mouse.
  • Bulky; may not fit in most laptop cases.
  • Lacks a dedicated button for switching profiles.
  • Plastic body feels thin, and there's some minor flex on the underside and in the joint where the sides meet the base.

    Popular Mouse Comparisons

    The GLORIOUS Model D Wireless is an excellent ultra-lightweight gaming mouse. It shares the same ergonomic, right-handed shape as its wired version, the GLORIOUS Model D, which contrasts with the original GLORIOUS Model O and its wireless version, which have ambidextrous symmetrical shapes. Compared to its wired version, this mouse has a proprietary BAMF sensor made in collaboration with PixArt, which offers a higher maximum CPI and a CPI you can adjust more precisely. It also has new left and right-click button switches made in partnership with Kailh, rated for 80 million clicks or four times as many as the Omron switches in the wired version. Altogether, this is a great choice if you're a fan of the wired Model D or right-handed, lightweight mice more generally, as it makes several notable improvements to the original while adding wireless connectivity and maintaining virtually the same weight.

    For more options, check out our picks for the best wireless mouse, the best wireless gaming mouse, and the best lightweight mouse.

    GLORIOUS Model O Wireless

    Track

    The GLORIOUS Model O Wireless is very similar to the GLORIOUS Model D Wireless, but the Model O has an ambidextrous shape while the Model D has a right-handed shape. The Model O Wireless also feels sturdier. Both mice are suitable for all grip types and most hand sizes, but the Model D Wireless is suitable for medium-sized hands using a fingertip grip while the Model O Wireless isn't.

    GLORIOUS Model D 2 Wireless

    Track

    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.

    Logitech G PRO X SUPERLIGHT

    Track

    The Logitech G PRO X SUPERLIGHT and the GLORIOUS Model D Wireless are both excellent ultra-lightweight, wireless gaming mice. The Logitech is somewhat lighter and feels sturdier. It also has better quality mouse feet and a higher maximum CPI. Additionally, its customization software is compatible with Windows and macOS, while the GLORIOUS software is only compatible with Windows. On the other hand, the GLORIOUS has a much more flexible charging cable and a dedicated CPI button behind the scroll wheel. Both mice are suitable for all grip types and almost all hand sizes, but the Logitech has an ambidextrous shape, while the GLORIOUS has a right-handed shape.

    GLORIOUS Model O

    Track

    The GLORIOUS Model D Wireless is an excellent wireless gaming mouse with a right-handed shape, while the GLORIOUS Model O is an excellent wired gaming mouse with an ambidextrous shape. The Model D Wireless has a higher maximum CPI, a more precisely adjustable CPI, and lower click latency. Both mice are suitable for all grip types and most hand sizes.
