This mouse was replaced by the 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.

  • 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.

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.

Compared To Other Mice

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.

GLORIOUS Model D Wireless

The GLORIOUS Model O Wireless is very similar to the GLORIOUS Model D Wireless, but the Model O has an ambidextrous shape while the Model D has a right-handed shape. The Model O Wireless also feels sturdier. Both mice are suitable for all grip types and most hand sizes, but the Model D Wireless is suitable for medium-sized hands using a fingertip grip while the Model O Wireless isn't.

Razer Viper Ultimate

The Razer Viper Ultimate is slightly better than the GLORIOUS Model O Wireless for all uses. The Razer feels more comfortable, has many more programmable inputs, and has lower click latency. However, the GLORIOUS is marginally lighter and feels better-built. While those with smaller hands will likely find the Razer more comfortable with most grip types, the GLORIOUS is better suited for larger hands.

GLORIOUS Model O

The GLORIOUS Model O Wireless is slightly better overall than the GLORIOUS Model O, but they're very similar and have the same shape, with the main difference being that the Model O is wired-only while the Wireless can be used wirelessly or wired. On top of that, the Wireless has a wider CPI range which you can adjust by smaller increments, and it feels better-built. However, the wired Model O is marginally lighter, and the sensor is a bit more consistent whether the cursor is moved quickly or slowly.

Logitech G Pro Wireless

The Logitech G Pro Wireless is better for most uses than the GLORIOUS Model O Wireless. The Logitech is a better choice for those with small hands using palm and claw grips, has a higher CPI range, and has less CPI variation, so the sensor doesn't under or overshoot. It also has many more programmable buttons. However, the GLORIOUS is much lighter, and the feet provide a better gliding experience.

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.

HyperX Pulsefire Haste Wireless

The GLORIOUS Model O Wireless and The HyperX Pulsefire Haste Wireless are similar symmetrically-shaped gaming mice. The GLORIOUS has a slightly more flexible cable and allows you to adjust your CPI more precisely. It also has lower click latency. On the other hand, the HyperX is slightly lighter and better suited for a wider range of hand sizes and grip types.

SteelSeries Aerox 3 Wireless

The SteelSeries Aerox 3 Wireless and the GLORIOUS Model O Wireless are very much alike as they both have a lightweight honeycomb body, an ambidextrous shape, and a six-button layout. The GLORIOUS is marginally better due to its superior build quality and higher-quality PTFE feet. However, the SteelSeries has Bluetooth capability, multi-device pairing, and its Engine 3 software is compatible with macOS, which isn't the case with the GLORIOUS Core software.

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 PRO has a solid plastic shell and is lighter. It also has a somewhat longer advertised battery life. On the other hand, the Wireless has a body with honeycomb cutouts, and it feels better built overall.

GLORIOUS Model O- Wireless

The GLORIOUS Model O- Wireless is a smaller version of the GLORIOUS Model O Wireless. Both mice are excellent ultra-lightweight gaming mice with very similar performance and symmetrical shapes, but in addition to being smaller, the Model O- Wireless is marginally lighter. On the other hand, the GLORIOUS Model O feels somewhat sturdier.

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.

They have nearly identical weights, and they both have an ambidextrous design with two buttons on the left side and a honeycomb shell. The GLORIOUS has a slightly lower click latency, a better quality paracord-like cable, and it feels significantly better built. On the other hand, the SteelSeries is compatible with Bluetooth. Also, the mouse and companion software are both fully compatible with macOS.

GLORIOUS Model D- Wireless

The GLORIOUS Model O Wireless and the GLORIOUS Model D- Wireless are similar lightweight gaming mice that connect wirelessly with a USB receiver. However, the Model D- Wireless performs slightly better. It has a right-handed design with an ergonomic slant and a high back for better comfort. It's also smaller and 4g lighter than the Model O Wireless. Additionally, it has slightly better click latency. On the other hand, the Model O has an ambidextrous design and feels more solidly built.

GLORIOUS Model I

The GLORIOUS Model O Wireless and the GLORIOUS Model I are lightweight gaming mice with key differences. As the name implies, the Model O Wireless is a wireless mouse, and it has a symmetrical shape that's better suited for FPS gaming. On the other hand, the Model I is a wired-only model with a right-handed slant and a cluster of buttons on the left side as it's designed to be used for a larger variety of game genres.

GLORIOUS Series One PRO

The GLORIOUS Model O Wireless and the GLORIOUS Series One PRO are two lightweight, wireless gaming mice with a few differences. The Model O Wireless has a honeycomb shell and a larger size in hand. The Series One PRO has a solid shell, no RGB lighting, and is significantly lighter than the Model O. Otherwise, the two mice perform fairly similarly, but the Model O Wireless is more readily available from online retailers as the Series One PRO was only released in a single drop through the GLORIOUS Forge program.

ASUS ROG Gladius III Wireless

The GLORIOUS Model O Wireless is an excellent ultra-light gaming mouse, while the ASUS ROG Gladius III Wireless is a great FPS gaming mouse. The GLORIOUS has an ambidextrous shape, and it has a honeycomb cutout design on its top and palm rest that helps reduce its weight. You can use it wirelessly with its USB receiver, and it has smoother-gliding mouse feet and a more flexible cable that doesn't retain packaging kinks.

The Logitech G703 LIGHTSPEED with HERO Sensor is better for most uses than the GLORIOUS Model O Wireless. The Logitech has a much higher maximum CPI, more programmable inputs, and lower click latency. However, the GLORIOUS is better for fans of ultra-light mice since it's significantly lighter, and the feet provide a better gliding experience.

Pwnage Ultra Custom Symm 2

The GLORIOUS Model O Wireless and the Pwnage Ultra Custom Symm 2 are both excellent ultra-light gaming mice. However, you can use the GLORIOUS wirelessly via its USB receiver, while the Pwnage is a wired-only model. Also, the GLORIOUS has smoother-gliding mouse feet, a more flexible cable, and much lower click latency. On the other hand, the Pwnage is more customizable and comes with modular pieces that change the look and feel of the mouse. It also comes with weights if you prefer heavier mice or want to change the weight distribution. The GLORIOUS is better suited for extra-large hands using a palm grip, while the Pwnage is the better option for small hands using a palm or claw grip and medium hands using a fingertip grip.

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.

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.
