Verdict

The Glorious Model O Minus is an ultra-lightweight ambidextrous gaming mouse weighing just 58 grams, featuring a signature honeycomb shell and a PixArt PMW 3360 sensor with up to 12,000 DPI. It is equipped with a highly flexible 'Ascended' braided cable, G-Skates PTFE feet for low-friction gliding, and Omron switches rated for 20 million clicks. Its primary strengths are its exceptional nimbleness for small-to-medium hands and vibrant RGB lighting, though potential drawbacks include a fragile cable connection and the tendency for the open shell design to accumulate dust and debris.
