The GLORIOUS Model O 2 is a lightweight gaming mouse that continues the GLORIOUS Model O lineup. This version shares the same symmetrical shape as the previous-generation GLORIOUS Model O but uses a new GLORIOUS BAMF 2.0 sensor and introduces several visual changes. While the older model has honeycomb-shaped cutouts in the body to reduce the overall weight, this newer version has smaller circular holes but is still lighter.

Popular Mouse Comparisons
The GLORIOUS Model O 2 is a wired, lightweight gaming mouse that continues the GLORIOUS Model O lineup. GLORIOUS has made some visual changes with this update, but the most significant change comes with the introduction of its GLORIOUS BAMF 2.0 sensor. This mouse is a strong contender with other high-performance wired models from other manufacturers, including the Razer Viper 8KHz, the Razer DeathAdder V3, or the HyperX Pulsefire Haste 2. However, the GLORIOUS doesn't support polling rates higher than 1000Hz, and it has small cutouts in the body, which aren't generally as comfortable as solid-plastic body designs due to the irregular texture of the cutouts on your palm. This mouse is a much better option if you're interested in playing fast-paced or competitive games than its wireless counterpart, the GLORIOUS Model O 2 Wireless. Our testing of the wireless model determined it has much higher click latency, and its sensor is significantly slower to react when you first start moving your mouse.
