The GLORIOUS Model O is an excellent ultra-light gaming mouse that feels very well-built and solid, with a honeycomb-pattern design that places it among the lightest mice we’ve tested. This wired-only model comes with an outstanding cable that’s lightweight and flexible. It has a total of six buttons, including two on the side, and all of them are easily programmable within the companion software. The sensor's performance is also extremely accurate and consistent, and the mouse has a wide CPI range. It also has excellent click latency and a very comfortable ambidextrous design suitable for any grip style. However, its large body isn’t well-suited for people with smaller hands who may feel more comfortable using the GLORIOUS Model O-, a smaller version that performs similarly.
Our Verdict
The GLORIOUS Model O is only decent for office use. It feels very well-built and should be comfortable enough for all-day use for most people. However, it's wired only, so it may be problematic if you have a small or cluttered desk with things the cable can get caught on. On the plus side, all six buttons are programmable, which can be useful to help with your workflow and jumping through your desktop quicker. If you have smaller hands, you may want to check out the GLORIOUS Model O instead, as this mouse may be slightly too large.

Popular Mouse Comparisons
The GLORIOUS Model O is a lightweight gaming mouse with an ambidextrous shape.

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 O 2 and the GLORIOUS Model O are wired gaming mice in the same lineup. The Model O 2 is newer and lighter. It also has smaller circular shaped cutouts in its body. On the other hand, the older Model O has slightly larger honeycomb-shaped cutouts in its body and an additional RGB lighting zone in its scroll wheel, which the newer Model O 2 lacks.
The Razer Viper Mini and the GLORIOUS Model O are two excellent gaming mice. The Razer is lighter than the GLORIOUS. The Razer is also smaller than the GLORIOUS. The cable on the GLORIOUS feels slightly lighter.
The GLORIOUS Model O and the HyperX Pulsefire Haste perform quite similarly. Both options are wired-only and feature a honeycomb design, but the HyperX is shorter and a bit lighter. It also has a wider CPI range and slightly better click latency, though the difference shouldn’t be noticeable. On the other hand, the GLORIOUS' cable is a little more flexible, and its set CPI is slightly more consistent. It also allows you to save more than one profile to its onboard memory.
