Our Verdict

GLORIOUS Model O

ROCCAT Burst Core

The ROCCAT Burst Core and the GLORIOUS Model O are excellent wired gaming mice with similar sizes, ambidextrous shapes, and solid-feeling build qualities. The GLORIOUS has a honeycomb body, is slightly lighter, has a lower lift-off distance, and has a better cable and mouse feet. It's well-suited to all grip types, but unfortunately, those with small hands may find it a bit too large to reach all the buttons. On the other hand, The ROCCAT has a solid plastic body and significantly lower click latency. It's also well-suited to all grip types, but those with small hands may have difficulty reaching both side buttons with a fingertip or claw grip.
