The GLORIOUS Model O- is an amazing ultra-light gaming mouse. It's an even lighter and smaller version of the GLORIOUS Model O and offers many of the same features and performance. It has great low click latency, a wide CPI range that you can adjust in fairly small steps, and a high maximum polling rate. The virgin-grade PFTE feet and the lightweight cable make it glide around very smoothly. It's comfortable for those with small hands, which is what it's designed for, but those with larger hands may find it uncomfortable. You can reprogram any button and set the RGB lighting through the dedicated software, which sadly isn't available on macOS.
Our Verdict
The GLORIOUS Model O Minus is okay for office use. It's comfortable and well-built, and the small shape is designed for those with smaller hands. However, the glossy finish makes the mouse feel slippery and there aren't any side grips. The side buttons are easy to reach and you can reprogram any button you want.
- Very comfortable for those with small hands.
- Well-built.
- Basic wheel that can't be unlocked for free-scrolling.
- May be too small for those with large and extra-large hands.
The GLORIOUS Model O Minus is excellent for FPS gaming. It has great low click latency, it's very light, and the outstanding feet help it glide easily.
