Our Verdict

Razer DeathAdder Elite

GLORIOUS Model O

The Razer DeathAdder Elite and the GLORIOUS Model O are both great wired gaming mice. The GLORIOUS is quite a bit lighter and has a much better cable than the Razer. However, the mouse is a bit bigger and may not be well-suited for people with smaller hands. Both mice have low latency and a customizable CPI, though the Razer has a wide range of CPI options and can be set with increments of 1, which is great.
