Verdict

The Glorious Model D Minus is a lightweight, right-handed ergonomic gaming mouse tailored for small to medium hands, weighing just 61 grams with its signature honeycomb shell design. It is equipped with the Pixart PMW-3360 optical sensor, offering a maximum sensitivity of 12,000 DPI, 250 IPS tracking speed, and 50G acceleration, alongside a 1,000 Hz polling rate. Core features include an ultra-flexible 2-meter 'Ascended' paracord cable, 0.81mm thick 100% pure PTFE G-Skates for smooth gliding, and Omron mechanical switches rated for 20 million clicks. Main pros include its comfortable ergonomic shape for palm and claw grips, highly flexible cable that mimics a wireless experience, and excellent glide performance. However, some users report cons such as a slightly flexible body under pressure, mushy side buttons, and a dated sensor compared to newer flagship models.
