Our Verdict

Razer DeathAdder V3

GLORIOUS Model D 2

The Razer DeathAdder V3 and the GLORIOUS Model D 2 are wired gaming mice with similar right-handed shapes. The Razer is slightly lighter despite having a solid plastic body design without any weight-saving cutouts. It also performs significantly better. On the other hand, the GLORIOUS has small circular-shaped cutouts in its body, which may be less comfortable on your hand if you're particularly sensitive to irregular textures. That said, it has two RGB lighting zones, which the Razer lacks.
