We’re excited to present a review of a new product! While evaluating various tech gadgets is always interesting, gaming peripherals offer a unique opportunity for hands-on experimentation. This time, we’ll be examining a product from Glorious, a company based in Dallas, Texas.
Before we delve into the review, let’s briefly introduce Glorious, as this is our first experience with their product line. Founded in 2014 in Texas by a dedicated PC gaming enthusiast, the company’s founder identified a gap in the gaming accessories market. Dominated by large corporations with premium-priced products and inconsistent quality, the founder conceived Glorious to address this need.
The product under evaluation is the Glorious Model D2PRO, a wireless gaming mouse that also supports wired connectivity – a valuable feature for users who prioritize a stable connection. The included cable is braided, offering enhanced durability compared to standard rubber or plastic alternatives. The battery offers a claimed lifespan of up to 80 hours on a full charge. The Glorious Core software enables users to customize DPI settings and program the two side buttons. Furthermore, it allows for monitoring battery levels and ensuring the device firmware is up to date.
The manufacturer specifies a switch lifespan of 100 million clicks, which should be adequate for even the most demanding gaming sessions. Featuring a maximum sensitivity of 26,000 DPI and a maximum speed of 650 IPS, the mouse aims to satisfy users seeking high responsiveness and speed. While 26,000 DPI may be excessive for some, the available range allows for precise adjustments. Sensitivity can be readily adjusted during gameplay via a dedicated button positioned between the primary mouse buttons. The scroll wheel offers smooth operation and incorporates a click-to-scroll function, enabling scrolling with slight mouse movements, potentially reducing finger fatigue. Overall, the mouse aims to deliver enhanced control and responsiveness for an improved gaming experience.
The mouse’s weight of 60 grams is a significant factor, and its impact can be subjective. While some users may appreciate the lightweight design, others may prefer the option to add weight for a more substantial feel. The inclusion of textured rubber side grips would have been beneficial to enhance control and prevent slippage during intense use. However, the ergonomic design facilitates a secure grip.
The ergonomic design allows for versatile grip styles, accommodating both palm and claw grips. In our assessment, the size of the mouse is well-proportioned, aligning with comparable offerings from competing brands.
It’s worth noting that a 4/8 kHz variant of this model exists, weighing 62 grams. The 4 kHz refers to the wireless polling rate, while 8 kHz is achievable via a wired connection.
In conclusion, we recommend the Glorious Model D2PRO to users seeking an alternative to established brands in the gaming mouse market. Competing gaming mice with similar features typically retail for approximately SEK 2,000.
Overall, the Model D2PRO is a capable gaming mouse that generally meets expectations.
