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

The GLORIOUS Model O Wireless is an excellent ultra-light gaming mouse. It's a wireless version of the GLORIOUS Model O and it remains very light despite having a battery built-in. It has a different sensor compared to the wired variant and the new GLORIOUS BAMF sensor has a wider CPI range that you can adjust in smaller increments. This mouse is very well-built and even though it has a honeycomb body, it feels solid. It's very comfortable and suitable for large hands using any grip, but it may be too big for those with small hands. The virgin-grade PTFE feet provide a very smooth gliding experience. Unfortunately, despite it being a wireless model, it's not ideal for use on-the-go because it lacks Bluetooth support and doesn't have a slot to store its USB receiver.

Our Verdict

7.2
Work 

The GLORIOUS Model O Wireless is very good for office use. It's very well-built and comfortable to use, especially for those with medium-to-large-sized hands. You can reprogram any of its buttons, but sadly, its scroll wheel doesn't offer left/right tilt options and can't be unlocked for free-scrolling.

Pros
  • Very comfortable for those with medium or large-sized hands.
  • Excellent build quality.
Cons
  • No Bluetooth support.
  • Too big for those with small hands.
  • No slot for USB receiver.
8.7
Video Games (FPS) 

The GLORIOUS Model O Wireless is excellent for FPS gaming. It's lightweight, has very low click latency, and the high-quality feet provide a smooth gliding experience. The build quality also feels excellent and you can adjust the CPI in precise increments.

Pros
  • Very low click latency.
  • Very light.
  • Smooth gliding experience.
Cons
  • Companion software not available on macOS.
  • Too big for those with small hands.
  • No slot for USB receiver.
7.8
Video Games (MMO) 

The GLORIOUS Model O Wireless is decent for MMO gaming. You can reprogram any of its six buttons, but its two side buttons may not be enough for some MMO gamers. It has very low click latency, a wide CPI range, and you can adjust the CPI in small increments.

Pros
  • Very comfortable for those with medium or large-sized hands.
  • Very low click latency.
Cons
  • Companion software not available on macOS.
  • Only two side buttons.
  • Too big for those with small hands.
  • No slot for USB receiver.

    Differences Between Sizes And Variants

    We tested the GLORIOUS Model O Wireless in black, and it's also available in white. It's the only wireless model in GLORIOUS' Model O lineup, and you can see the differences between each variant below.

    If someone comes across a GLORIOUS Model O Wireless that's different from ours, let us know and we'll update the review. You can see the label for our unit here.

    Popular Mouse Comparisons

    The  GLORIOUS Model O Wireless is one of the best wireless ultra-light gaming mice we've tested. It's very light and it offers a smooth gliding experience. It may not be as versatile for other uses as the Razer Viper Ultimate as it doesn't have as many programmable inputs, but if you're looking for a light and wireless option that won't cost much, you should be happy with this. Also see our recommendations for the best mice, the best wireless mice, and the best gaming mice.

    Logitech G PRO X SUPERLIGHT

    The Logitech G PRO X SUPERLIGHT and the GLORIOUS Model O Wireless are both excellent wireless gaming mice. While the GLORIOUS is a very lightweight mouse, the Logitech is even lighter. The Logitech also has a wider CPI range and is fully compatible with both Windows and macOS. On the other hand, the GLORIOUS has RGB lighting and charges via USB-C instead of the older Micro-USB standard, like the Logitech does. Overall, they're both excellent mice, though if you prioritize a lightweight design over anything else, the Logitech may be the better choice.

    Logitech G305 LIGHTSPEED

    The GLORIOUS Model O Wireless performs slightly better for gaming than the Logitech G305 LIGHTSPEED. Both mice are fairly small, but the GLORIOUS is quite a bit lighter, thanks to its honeycomb design. It’s well-suited for medium or large hands using most grip types, and it feels more solid and comfortable overall. On the other hand, the G305 is a great choice for a fingertip grip, and it has more programmable inputs. However, it only connects wirelessly, while the GLORIOUS can be used wired or wirelessly.

    GLORIOUS Model D

    The GLORIOUS Model O Wireless is better for most uses than the GLORIOUS Model D thanks to its wireless design. The Wireless has much better build quality, a wider CPI range, lower lift-off distance, and is a bit more consistent at various speeds. Its wireless design also makes it easier to take around with you. However, the Model D is a better choice for those with small hands using the palm grip. Some people also may prefer its wired-only design and slightly slanted body.

    GLORIOUS Model O 2 Wireless

    The GLORIOUS Model O 2 Wireless and the GLORIOUS Model O Wireless are gaming mice in the same lineup. The Model O 2 Wireless is newer and has a significantly longer advertised battery life. On the other hand, the Model O Wireless delivers much better click latency performance.

    The GLORIOUS Model O Wireless looks exactly like its wired version, the GLORIOUS Model O, and the unit we tested has a matte black body. It has a stylish shape with a honeycomb design to help reduce body weight. It's all black except for the gray GLORIOUS logo on the left side and the frost white on the scroll wheel. There are strips of RGB lighting on the sides and scroll wheel, but you can't control them independently. There are eight different preset RGB modes. You can switch between two separate brightness settings and you can program it to permanently set to the dimmer mode when used wirelessly to conserve battery. If you're interested in a similarly lightweight gaming mouse with distinctive heart and diamond-shaped cutouts in the body instead of the honeycomb-shaped cutouts on the GLORIOUS, check out the Vancer BT.L Gretxa. Or, if you're interested in a version of the GLORIOUS Model O Wireless with a solid plastic shell instead of a honeycomb design, take a look at the GLORIOUS Model O PRO.

    Build Quality

    The GLORIOUS Model O Wireless has excellent build quality. The entire body feels really solid and doesn't flex at all when squeezed. There aren't any loose or wobbly parts. The circuit board seems to be covered fairly well and it shouldn't allow too much dust in. Unlike the GLORIOUS Model O, we didn't experience any issues with the scroll wheel where the rubber would move and the scroll wheel didn't. Overall, it feels like an upgrade over the wired variant.

    Even though the GLORIOUS Model O Wireless has an added battery compared to the wired GLORIOUS Model O, it's only marginally heavier. If you're interested in a much lighter wireless gaming mouse, check out the Finalmouse Starlight-12 Small. Or, if you prefer a mouse with a solid plastic shell without honeycomb cutouts, check out the Pulsar X2 or the Keychron M3.

    Hand Size Recommendation
    Palm Grip Hand Recommendation
    Claw Grip Hand Recommendation
    Fingertip Grip Hand Recommendation

    The GLORIOUS Model O Wireless is very comfortable. It has an ambidextrous design, but since the side buttons are only on the left side, it's better suited for right-handed use. Those with small hands may not find it comfortable and it's designed more for larger hands. Sadly, there aren't any grips. If you're interested in a similarly lightweight, wireless gaming mouse but with an ergonomic right-handed shape, check out the ROCCAT Kone Pro Air or the GLORIOUS Model D- Wireless.

    The GLORIOUS Model O Wireless has decent wireless versatility. It only connects to its USB receiver, so you can't connect to it via Bluetooth. It comes with a USB extender, allowing you to place the receiver closer to the mouse. It's advertised to have a 71-hour battery life without RGB, but this isn't something we test for. To help conserve battery, you can set the RGB lighting to turn off after a period of inactivity and it comes back on as soon as you move the mouse. If you're interested in a newer version of this mouse with much longer advertised battery life and added Bluetooth support, check out the GLORIOUS Model O 2 Wireless.

    The included USB-C cable is a bit different than the cable from the GLORIOUS Model O that we tested since it doesn't retain any kinks from the packaging. It's a paracord-like cable that moves well and has good flexibility. It's worth noting that newer versions of the wired Model O apparently have a better cable, which is likely closer to the one included with this mouse.

    The GLORIOUS Model O Wireless' virgin-grade PTFE feet are outstanding. They feel of high quality and provide a very good gliding experience, but have sharp edges, which could cause some scratchiness when used on a desk. You can buy third-party replacement feet.

    The GLORIOUS Model O Wireless has an okay amount of buttons. You can reprogram any of its buttons, but changing the left-click button to something else without reprogramming the left-click action makes the mouse almost useless. If you're interested in a similar wireless gaming mouse with a truly ambidextrous design that features a pair of buttons on both sides, check out the Keychron M1 Wireless.

    This mouse has excellent click latency. There's a very slight amount of variation, but it follows a very predictable pattern and only ranges by a few milliseconds. This variation is imperceptible during actual use and this mouse provides a very responsive feeling in-game.
