Verdict

The Glorious Model I is an ultra-lightweight, ergonomic right-handed gaming mouse weighing just 69g, specifically designed for multi-genre play including FPS, MMO, and MOBA titles. It features the proprietary BAMF optical sensor with a sensitivity range of 100–19,000 DPI, 400 IPS tracking speed, and 50G acceleration, alongside a 1,000Hz polling rate for pixel-perfect tracking. Its standout characteristics include nine remappable buttons, two of which are swappable magnetic side buttons with alternative shapes included to tailor the grip. Main pros include its comfortable thumb-rest design, a highly flexible 2m 'Ascended' paracord cable that mimics a wireless feel, and premium rounded PTFE G-Skates for a smooth glide. However, some cons include a large frame that may be unsuitable for small hands, a lack of horizontal tilt or free-scrolling on the scroll wheel, and software-only customization for certain advanced button functions.
