The GLORIOUS Model O PRO is a lightweight wireless gaming mouse produced with the GLORIOUS Forge program. It means to buy this mouse from GLORIOUS, you were required to pre-order it before production began, and it was produced in limited numbers. The pre-order phase is now over, so if you're interested in buying this mouse, you'll need to buy it from a third-party reseller. This mouse shares the same shape and dimensions as the GLORIOUS Model O Wireless, but it's lighter, lacks RGB lighting, and has a solid plastic body instead of a body with honeycomb-shaped cutouts. It also has a slightly longer advertised battery life compared to the GLORIOUS Model O Wireless. However, the sensor model and switches remain unchanged.
Our Verdict
The GLORIOUS Model O PRO is decent for office and multimedia work, but it isn't designed specifically for this usage. It feels fairly well-built, has a comfortable, symmetrical shape, and connects wirelessly. Unfortunately, it doesn't support Bluetooth, and the scroll wheel lacks L/R tilt inputs and doesn't unlock for free-scrolling.

The GLORIOUS Model O PRO is an excellent FPS gaming mouse. It's extremely lightweight and has a comfortable symmetrical shape suitable for medium and larger-sized hands. Performance-wise, it has excellent click latency and an accurate, consistent sensor, providing a responsive in-game experience.

The GLORIOUS Model O PRO is good for MMO gaming, but it doesn't have nearly as many buttons as dedicated MMO gaming mice. That said, you can reprogram all buttons using the customization software. It also has excellent sensor performance and click latency, good build quality, and a comfortable shape suitable for medium and larger-sized hands.

Compared To Other Mice
The GLORIOUS Model O PRO is a lightweight, wireless gaming mouse. This mouse marks a departure for GLORIOUS as it's their first mouse release that doesn't feature honeycomb-shaped cutouts in the body or RGB lighting. It has the same shape and shares many of the key internal components as the GLORIOUS Model O Wireless; however, it's lighter, it has slightly longer battery life, and its solid plastic body has a textured surface. This mouse is also noteworthy for using a group buy model, meaning you needed to pre-order this mouse, and it was only produced in limited numbers. This group buy phase is over, so if you're interested in purchasing this mouse, you'll need to do so through third-party resellers.

Test Results
This mouse has a straightforward look with a solid plastic shell made of coral-colored plastic on top and black plastic on the side and bottom of the mouse. The plastic has a slightly textured finish, which feels nice and adds grip. In terms of visible branding, there's GLORIOUS logo on the left side towards the back of the mouse and a GLORIOUS Forge logo on the right side towards the front.
The GLORIOUS Model O PRO shares the same shape and dimensions as the GLORIOUS Model O Wireless.
The GLORIOUS Model O PRO has good build quality, though it doesn't feel as sturdy as the GLORIOUS Model O Wireless. It doesn't feel flimsy, but there's some creaking and flexibility if you apply pressure to the plastic body. The plastic also feels relatively thin, and the left- and right-click buttons rattle when you shake the mouse. However, this isn't noticeable during regular use.
This mouse is remarkably lightweight, making it very easy to make snappy and responsive movements.
The GLORIOUS Model O PRO has a solid plastic body with a slightly textured finish that's comfortable and lends added grip. This mouse shares the same dimensions as the GLORIOUS Model O Wireless.

If you're looking for a slightly smaller mouse, check out the GLORIOUS Series One PRO.
The GLORIOUS Model O PRO has an advertised battery life of up to 80 hours, which is longer than the advertised battery life of the GLORIOUS Model O Wireless at 71 hours.

You can reprogram any of the six buttons on the top of the GLORIOUS Model O PRO. On the bottom of the mouse, there's a non-programmable button that cycles between CPI settings and a switch that turns the mouse on and off. Like the GLORIOUS Model O Wireless, this mouse uses Kailh 8.0 switches for its left- and right-click buttons.
The GLORIOUS Model O PRO has excellent click latency and provides a very responsive feeling in-game.
This mouse has polling rate options of 125Hz, 250Hz, 500Hz, and 1000Hz.
The scroll wheel operates smoothly, and each notch is well-defined. Unfortunately, there's a small amount of side-to-side movement, and the middle click is very easy to accidentally press, which can happen if you're trying to scroll too quickly.
The mouse click and button noises are quiet and unlikely to bother those around you.
The GLORIOUS Model O PRO uses Glorious Core software, which is easy to use and has a straightforward layout. It allows you to customize a range of expected options, including button mapping, custom profiles, DPI settings, and debounce time.
