GloriousModel D Wireless Gaming Mouse - 69g Superlight, Lag Free 2.4Ghz Wireless, Up to 71 Hour Battery, RGB, BAMF Sensor, Ergonomic, 6 Buttons - Matte Black

This is a review of the “Model D Wireless” gaming mouse from Glorious. This review will be split into 6 parts: SHAPE (how comfortable the mouse’s shape is to hold), BUILD QUALITY (how strong the mouse is built), QUALITY-CONTROL (the margin of error between copies of the mouse), CLICKS (how good the buttons feel to press), GLIDE (how fast the mouse can move on your mousepad), and finally WEIGHT (how much the mouse weighs)Starting off we have shape; the shape of the Model D is a large ergonomic shape with side buttons only on the left side. For this reason, this mouse is meant for people who have medium – large hand sizes and are right-handed. If you are left-handed, I strongly recommend not getting this mouse. If you are right-handed, however the mouse shape feels amazing for palm and claw grip. For me I use a claw grip and this mouse is awesome!Next up the build quality and quality control; the build quality of this mouse is mostly good besides for a little side-play on the clicks and some side button wobble. The mouse does last a while (I’ve been using it for 1 year at the time of making this review) and I haven’t had any big build quality issues. The quality control of Glorious mice has always been lousy according to popular mouse reviewers, but after looking around, asking people and watching other reviews, I think the quality control of the mouse is pretty good.Now to review clicks, glide and weight. The Glorious Model D’s clicks are on the heavier side but they are still easy to repeatedly click. The Model D uses an Omron®️ Mechanical Switches Rated For 20 Million Clicks. The glide is *okay* its not super-fast but it’s not too slow either. If you are a fan of faster mouse feet I think you would be better off buying “after market” mouse feet. The Model D’s weight is 70 grams and is pretty light but recently, mice have been getting below 50 grams easily. The weight is still good though!Onto the final question, “Would I recommend this mouse?” and the answer is surprisingly “no.” However, it’s not because the mouse is bad, in fact the mouse is great, but I would not recommend it because Glorious has made a new mouse called the “Model D 2 pro” which is a lighter version of the model D. If you’re thinking about getting a new Glorious mouse I’d just say get the Model D 2 pro.

This mouse is awesome. Bluetooth. 2.5ghz. USB-C to charge. It’s lightweight, it fits perfectly in my hand, its battery lasts for a very long time, and the quality is top notch. Highly recommend.

Bought this mouse after using Logitech g35s for many years. But my recent one had started to develop some weird tracking issues. After using many of those mice through the years, I decided to go with one a bit more expensive. I like the fit in the hand of this mouse. As someone who games very frequently, the way a mouse sits in your hand is important. No cramps after long use. The battery does really well with the rgb turned off. Turned on at max brightness will give a significant net loss of battery life, but it is pretty to look at. The cord is long enough to set the dongle where I need it and if I need to plug the mouse in to charge, I don't have to move the cord. The feet allow a decent enough glide on the desk mat that I use. Though longevity is TBD. Clicking feels great, not super mushy but not overly loud like some mice. Scroll wheel is good as well. Overall this mouse is very responsive and easy to setup through the glorious app. I do use it with no rgb running to get the longest battery life from it. One thing that I will point out as a negative is just the glorious software doesn't seem to really ever know where the battery life sits at any given time. I can charge the mouse through the evening and the indicator will say its at 33%. After reopening the program it can say 62% or some other random number. And it Will stay on that % no matter how much it's been used. Which isn't ideal when in the middle of a gaming session.Overall, I'd give this mouse a 8.5/10. If they can make the battery tracking better in the app, it could definitely be a 10.

This mouse is very light and works great. The reason I only give it 4 stars is because the battery life is pretty poor since it sacrifices this for weight savings. This means you really can only leave it unplugged for a couple days at a time before it dies.
