Glorious PC Gaming Race USB Model D Gaming-Maus - White, matt,GD-WHITE

Product Information

We can’t talk about the finish of a mouse like this without talking about the holes, and in case you’re wondering: you don’t notice them at all when you’re using the mouse. That’s partially due to the fact that there aren’t any cutouts at the parts where you’ll actually be grabbing the Model D and also because of the fact that they’re really nicely finished and implemented. It doesn’t feel like someone took a drill, went to town on this thing, and called it a day; the cutouts don’t feel sharp or annoying at all. Completing the Glorious Model D Wireless Gaming Mouse is its iconic honeycomb design. Not just stylish, this framework keeps your hand fresh, improves grip, and allows the RGB lighting to vividly shine through. The bezel is manufactured from highly durable materials, enhancing the overall longevity of this gaming mouse. That’s nice of them to include, but I do wish they’d gone all the way and threw in some replacement feet as well while they were at it. It’s always handy to have some spare parts around.

All-New Glorious Model D Now Available - Glorious Gaming

i have a hand size of 19*10 and my current harpoon by corsair feels small and sharp to my hands. i am looking for a fingertip-palm hybrid mouse for playing csgo . will this suit me ? Nice review 🙂

Both side buttons actuate with a tactile feeling and there’s almost none of that typical ‘side button mushiness’ present. There is a bit of a pivoting issue: the center part of the side button has virtually no post travel whereas the further out from the center you push, the more post travel becomes apparent. The buttons never travel inside the shell though (unless you apply a whole lot of force and you press them at their very edge) and even then the travel stays limited so as far as I’m concerned these side buttons are perfectly up to par. As with many mice, there’s a touch of post travel, but this is something that happens with a lot of mice and it’s well within acceptable tolerances.

Model D Minus: Wired Ergonomic Mouse for Gaming - Glorious Gaming Model D Minus: Wired Ergonomic Mouse for Gaming - Glorious Gaming

I wouldn’t say that lightweight is better per se. CS:GO professionals, for example, aren’t using lightweight mice en masse at all (only 3% are using a mouse that weighs less than 70 grams) so there’s definitely some personal preference involved. As far as the battery goes I haven’t noticed any annoyances. The battery life isn’t the most impressive on the market, but if you turn off your RGB lights you should be getting around 70 hours of juice out of the battery. That’s plenty for even the most hardcore gaming marathon, and if you need to top up your battery while you’re gaming you can just use the included flexible cable. Today, we’re taking a look at their newest release, the Model D Wireless. What’s interesting here is that Glorious has made a number of changes when compared to their latest wireless release, the Model O Wireless. The Model D obviously has a different shape, but we also see the removal of holes in the buttons, for example, and (more interestingly) the inclusion of Glorious’ very own mouse switches. Combine that with a tightened up QC process and a very attractive price when compared to other wireless options on the market and you’ve got what could be one of the best options out there at this point in time. Before the lightweight revolution and the cable renaissance we had the sensor shift, where pretty much every respectable gaming mouse manufacturer started using flawless sensors in their mice. As such, part of this section has perhaps become quite superfluous but of course we have to talk about the sensor. I can be short here: the flawless 3360 sensor inside of the Model D performs as it should, which basically means that it’s flawless.

The register can be accessed through http://www.fca.org.uk Another thing that I noticed is that the Model D Wirelessfeels really solid. This hasn’t always been the case with Glorious’ mice (though I have to say that I’ve never reviewed a unit that was downright faulty in the QC department) so it’s good to see that there’s almost no flexing to be found here. More on that later on in the review though.

All in all this D looks really nice if you ask me. Something about the way the RGB lights up parts of the inside of the mouse just looks interesting to me, and while I am aware of the fact that some people strongly dislike the inclusion of the Glorious beard-man I can definitely say that this mouse is an eye-catcher. Not that this matters for performance, but I thought I’d mention it. It is now impossible to actuate the side buttons by squeezing the shell when holding the mouse normally, which is something that did happen to varying degrees with their Model O. To be complete I have to say that you can still actuate the side buttons by applying a lotof pressure but you’d have to be holding the mouse in both hands for that to happen and I don’t know anyone who games like that so for me that’s a non-issue. It’s nice to see that the people at Glorious have been paying attention to what consumers have been saying about their products, and while I have no doubt that they could’ve shaved off a few grams at the cost of structural integrity I’m happy that they went with this approach. As it is the mouse is still very light andit feels sturdy to boot. Note: I did not get a glossy Model D to test so I cannot give any definite statements on that version, though the only difference between the two coatings is that the glossy mice weigh one gram more and cost 10 dollars more at MSRP.

The Model D Wirelesshas a number of exciting improvements over Glorious’ earlier mice, but I think the improvement that most fans are looking forward to the most can be found in the QC department. The mouse itself feels really solid, with no creaking or flexing anywhere, and even though the buttons aren’t exactly flawless their flaws certainly aren’t enough to annoy me in everyday usage. Of course I can only judge this one copy, but from what I can tell this is one solid mouse.

Glorious Model D- Review: The Hole-y Grail of Lightweight Mice Glorious Model D- Review: The Hole-y Grail of Lightweight Mice

Glorious is a pretty new company all things considered but they are definitely showing that they know how to handle things.As I said earlier on the Model D also comes with two additional mouse feet that fit in between the existing feet on either end of the mouse, creating a larger ‘skate surface’. I applied these extra feet on one of my review copies and left it off on another and I think I prefer the mouse with those extra feet on though the difference is honestly pretty marginal and it might even be the placebo effect talking. It’s important to note that the additional skates are of the same high quality as the ones that are already on there, so you don’t have to worry about them being some kind of afterthought if you decide to try them out, though I would’ve honestly preferred to see a bunch of replacement main feet instead of what we got now. Glorious Model D Review – Conclusion I’ve spent a bit more time evaluating this portion of the mouse because the QC of the buttons and scroll wheel is one of the most often complained about aspects on enthusiast forums (by which I don’t mean that every Glorious mouse had issues on this front: people are far more likely to post their complaints than they are to post their praises, for one) but I can’t really find any big flaws here. It’s true that the main buttons technically aren’t flawless, but I have been looking at those under a proverbial microscope and they come out just fine for day to day usage. Build Quality and Cable The travel on the main buttons is negligible in my opinion, though it might vary from copy to copy as previous Glorious releases did have some QC issues with this in the past, though I’ve got the impression that those have been mostly ironed out judging by reactions on forums and social media.
