Glorious Gaming Model D- (Small) Wired Gaming Mouse - 61g Superlight Honeycomb Design, RGB, Ergonomic, Pixart 3360 Sensor, Omron Switches, PTFE Feet, 6 Buttons - Glossy White

I bought the model-d to replace my Zowie EC2-A, and here is the pro/con :Pro :- I like the shape, and it was kind of similar to my Zowie- Very light, with a stylish design- Lambda software to adjust your DPI and colorCon :- The quality seems to be pretty bad. After only 1 week of use, the DPI button is already defective ! The price is not really cheap, so I expected something definitely better.

Edit 1: Unfortunately the mouse developed a squeaky scroll wheel, and I have been sent a replacement.Edit 2: The replacement looks like an older version (with blue skates and the non-ascended cable), I'll update if this one squeaks too.Grip/Ergonomics:As someone with large hands (just over 20x10cm) who used a G502 Proteus (absolutely fantastic mouse), the Model D transitions seamlessly over and fits my hand like a glove, the mouse fills almost my entire palm (which I did not think was possible) and the hump of the mouse is even more ergonomic than the G502. There is also ample space to rest your thumb on the side of the mouse, whilst simultaneously keeping the side buttons in reach. I went with the matt white finish as I'm not a fan of the reduced grip glossy texture offers (and finger prints), and the weight reduction cutouts are also practically invisible in terms of touch. I should also mention the weight of the mouse, of course it was a bit of an adjustment initially coming from the much heavier G502 (no weights), but it is very light and transforms flicks and fast turns (for a low sens player) into a much more natural motion and not an arm workout compared to the G502 lol. Finally, the mouse skates are a great improvement over the G502, and those were very solid, so that says a lot. The mouse glides effortlessly over my QCK Heavy. Its gonna take a bit for me to stop swiping my mouse like im trying to scrub the desk, but thats what years of using a heavy mouse does to you lol.Sensor/Buttons:The sensor is top notch right up there with the G502's. As for the m1 and m2 buttons, there is a very very slight travel before the mouse clicks register compared to the G502 (I'm talking like 1/3 of a mm) but after using it for as little as an hour, I got completely used to it and overall the buttons feel clicky and crisp just like the G502. The scroll wheel however is very comfortable and wayyy better than the G502's metallic mess (the biggest flaw of that mouse imo) and responsive, but not so much that you would accidentally hit the wheel while clicking. There is no squeaking and the rubber ring offers great grip. The side buttons are clicky and responsive too and are placed in a easy to reach position, I had no issues discerning the two buttons/hitting both at the same time etc. One thing to note however is that this mouse has less buttons than the G502, so if you NEED ALL of the ones on your G502, then this is something to bear in mind. On the Model D, there is no 3rd side button, no extra two buttons on the edge of mouse1, and also the scroll wheel does not tilt and click left and right. As a CSGO player, I have no issues, as the mouse offers pretty much the standard amount of buttons that you need, keeping it simple and effective.Cable/Cord:I was sceptical about the Ascended cable at first thinking it to be just a gimmick, but holy crap the cable feels durable yet lightweight, fluid, and flexible. It really does feel like there is no cord, giving an almost wireless feeling. I was considering getting a mouse bungee for my G502, but now with the Model D, that's not needed. The cable lies flat on my desk and flexes unnoticeably when swiping the mouse, unlike the G502's which was way more rigid and heavy, and swiping would sometimes cause it to push it self off the edge of my desk, driving me insane. I'd recommend keeping the cable away from sharp edges however as I think the threads on the cable could tear/fray.Lighting/Build Quality:The RGB lighting is bright and vibrant. As for the build quality, the mouse feels sturdy and well built, despite its fragile-looking appearance. The mouse buttons on mine, don't flex or wobble, so I'm satisfied in terms of durability.Conclusion:Overall I think this mouse is a fantastic upgrade from the G502, just note that the drastic change in mouse weight will take some getting used to. The price (£53) I paid feels fair for the quality of the product, and most importantly, the ergonomic shape and perfect fit for my large hands. Props to Glorious for listening to the target audience and actually offering features that are wanted, without all the gimmicky list of "extra features" that are often used to charge more.

I love this mouse, after coming from a Corsair Harpoon that was great for 2 years this is a good upgrade. The mouse is amazingly light it took me a few hours to adjust but once I did I could see a slight improvement in my gameplay could just be a placebo effect. The mouse is on the large side and is good for a claw/palm grip for my hands which are on the large side. If you have a small hand size I would go with the model O I think this mouse would be too large. The RGB is clean and looks great and the cable also is very light and flexible. No issues so far all buttons are clicky and tactile. My only issue is the 2 side buttons have a little too much travel to actuate than what I was used to with my old mouse but after a week of use I have gotten more used to it but that's the only change I would make. Overall great mouse for the money and the software to access lighting and DPI settings is simple and easy to use. You will find it hard to get a better mouse for around the same pricemark I'm very happy with it after spending a few weeks before I decided on this one.

Your browser does not support HTML5 video.  The sensor on this beast is amazing and is pro level without a doubt, the shape made for medium to large, but even my hands are slightly too large for it, im 21 cm x 10 cm, so if you are around my size id recommend a steel series 600. but it's still fine for my size but you will get some cramps. side buttons are amazing and click but the top wheel button is too hard and hopefully it wears down because I cannot click it fast enough.

So I've had some issues trying to source a decent, lightweight FPS gaming mouse. In the past two months I've had a G Pro Wireless, Razer Viper Ultimate and this Glorious Model D, the former two which were returned due to a loose right mouse button and mushy buttons, respectively.Pros:Ergo ShapeLightweightDecent enough build quality in terms of shell flexVivid RGB (If you're into that)Amazing paracord cable which makes it feel wirelessReally good stock feet almost comparable to hyperglides.Cons:The Glorious Model D in comparison with the GPro and RVU still does have it's issues. Mine came with a sticky left mouse button (LMB) as well as both LMB and RMB were loose which is inherent of the split trigger design. Rather than dealing with another return I just decided to sort the issues myself. Sticky LMB was a result of adhesive where the switch meets the button, and was easily dealt with by cleaning using a cotton bud and nail polish remover. The loose LMB and RMB were sorted by inserting small folder up pieces of paper between as seen in the image.Not exactly what you want to do with an out of the box product, however due to the price point the issues are easier to live with than the more expensive GPro and RVU. Take from this review what you will.
