What customers like about Glorious Model D

  • Extremely lightweight (68-69g) which reduces wrist fatigue during long sessions.
  • Highly flexible 'Ascended' paracord-like cable that feels almost wireless.
  • Excellent ergonomic shape particularly suited for palm and claw grips for medium to large hands.
  • Smooth gliding experience thanks to high-quality 100% pure virgin PTFE G-Skates.
  • Crisp and responsive primary clicks using Omron switches rated for 20 million clicks.
  • Vibrant and highly customisable 3-zone RGB lighting via user-friendly software.

What customers don't like about Glorious Model D

  • Build quality concerns reported by some users, including body flex or creaking under pressure.
  • Side buttons are often described as feeling slightly 'mushy' with noticeable pre-travel.
  • Main button wobble or lateral play has been noted in some manufacturing batches.
  • The scroll wheel may develop a rattle or squeak over extended use.
  • Honeycomb design can be divisive as it may collect dust or feel uncomfortable for sensitive users.
  • DPI indicator is located on the bottom, making it difficult to check settings on the fly.

Verdict

The Glorious Model D is a right-handed ergonomic gaming mouse featuring a distinctive honeycomb shell that achieves an ultra-lightweight profile of approximately 68g for matte and 69g for glossy variants. It is equipped with a PixArt PMW-3360 optical sensor supporting up to 12,000 DPI, a 1,000 Hz polling rate, and 50G acceleration, paired with Omron mechanical switches rated for 20 million clicks. Key pros include its highly flexible 'Ascended' paracord cable that mimics a wireless feel, premium 100% pure PTFE G-Skates for smooth gliding, and customisable 16.8 million colour RGB lighting. However, notable cons include a DPI indicator located inconveniently on the underside of the mouse and reports of slight lateral movement or wobble in the main left and right buttons.
