Our Verdict

Razer Viper Ultimate

GLORIOUS Model D

The Razer Viper Ultimate is an amazing FPS gaming mouse, while the GLORIOUS Model D is an excellent choice for ultra-light gaming. The Razer has an ambidextrous design with two side buttons on each side and feels more solid and comfortable overall. It has a wider CPI range, a lower lift-off distance, and more programmable inputs. Also, it can be used wired or wirelessly with its USB receiver, making it quite versatile. That said, the GLORIOUS is slightly lighter and features a honeycomb design with RGB strips. It’s well-suited for most hand sizes using any grip type.
