GloriousGaming Model O 2 Wireless Gaming Mouse - Hybrid 2.4GHz & Bluetooth Wireless, 68g Superlight, Long Battery Life, 26k BAMF 2.0 Sensor, RGB, Ambidextrous, 6 Buttons, PTFE Feet - White

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.

I love this mouse! The shape is a great ambidex shape that is similar to the original Model O with some great updates. The most noticeable is the move towards circular holes, but that is just aesthetics (I like it, but probably a matter of personal taste). Another big change to the physical unit is the left and right buttons. I think the look is more modern and smoother which is a nice touch. I also like the new updated logo on the top (I think the new logo is a big improvement and also not as much in your face as the original Model O). On the bottom of the mouse, you will see there are slight changes in the feet which I think should make it smoother (never had and issues so to me both are very smooth - though remember to take off the paper on the bottom!). Last thing is the RGB seems a little more slick on the side of the mouse (comparing the 'ends' of the light strip you can see more variation/getting more to a point which aligns with the streamlined/modern look).There are a few other upgrades. The first is adding BT connectivity. I like the option, but I wouldn't use BT for gaming. However it is there in case I want it (I use my mouse for gaming and for everyday and sometimes I have to travel, which is where the BT comes in so I don't have to travel with a dongle). Another upgrade is the click feel. When I put it against the original, I think there is more crispness to the click feel and also a little louder (not much but it is there when I click them side by side). Last is the scroll wheel. The design changed and I feel as though it is a little more responsive.One note is I had a slight issue out of the box and had to re-pair the dongle before updating the FW. Not a big deal and I bet they update the FW better out of the box on future units.Overall I loved the mouse and would highly recommend!

Glorious Model O- MouseAs a longtime user of Glorious products, the Glorious Model O- Mouse was my third purchase from their lineup. Initially, I was drawn to it by its lightweight design and ergonomic feel, which are standout features that make the mouse highly comfortable for extended gaming sessions. The aesthetics are sleek and modern, appealing to those who appreciate a visually pleasing setup.However, the honeymoon period was short-lived. Within three months, I began to encounter performance issues that were impossible to ignore. The left-click started to exhibit signs of double-clicking, and the overall responsiveness seemed to deteriorate. This rapid decline in functionality was highly disappointing, especially considering the premium price point.Glorious GMMK 2-65 Percent KeyboardFollowing my positive experience with the mouse's initial feel, I decided to try the Glorious GMMK 2-65 Percent Keyboard. This was my second keyboard purchase from Glorious. The keyboard's build quality is solid, and the mechanical switches provide a satisfying tactile feedback that is ideal for both gaming and typing.Unfortunately, similar to the mouse, the keyboard also began to show issues within three months. Keypresses became inconsistent, with some keys failing to register intermittently. This level of unreliability is unacceptable, particularly for a product marketed towards gamers who demand precision and consistency.Software ExperienceOne of the most significant letdowns with both the mouse and keyboard is the Glorious software. It is severely lacking in functionality compared to competitors. Macros are limited to just three profiles, which is incredibly restrictive for users who need more customization options. Additionally, the overall settings are sparse and do not offer the depth of configuration that one would expect. Even the outdated Logitech G502 software outperforms Glorious's offering by a considerable margin.Customer Service and Return PolicyAdding to the frustration is the poor customer service and restrictive return policies. Amazon will not accept returns after a certain period, and Glorious themselves only offer returns within 45 days of purchase. Given the issues began around the three-month mark, this policy feels inadequate and leaves customers without recourse.ConclusionIn conclusion, while the Glorious Model O- Mouse and GMMK 2-65 Percent Keyboard initially impress with their design and feel, the longevity and software severely disappoint. With performance issues cropping up within months and lackluster software support, these products do not offer the reliability or value one would expect. Combined with subpar customer service and restrictive return policies, it's challenging to recommend Glorious products at this time. If you're in the market for reliable gaming peripherals, it might be wise to explore other brands.

Pros:- Hybrid, versatile connectivity (2.4GHz & BT)- Ultra-lightweight (68g)- Exceptional accuracy & responsivenessCons:- RGB lighting may slightly impact battery lifePart of a minimalist setup, alongside Glorious Compact (60%). Precise tracking & fast response times. 2nd set of Glorious and hope they last.
