Who wins on what

Ranked by what users actually praise

Overall Impression

The Model D Wireless surprises users with how light it feels for a full-sized mouse. Multiple commenters highlight the low weight as a standout trait, with one saying it 'weighs almost nothing' and another calling it 'the lightest mouse I've ever used,' needing to lower DPI to compensate. Another user was pleasantly surprised the weight came in even lower than advertised, calling flicks 'like butter' once adjusted to the reduced heft during fast-paced gameplay sessions.

Its shape is repeatedly praised by large-handed and claw-grip users. One user with 'some of the largest hands going' who claw grips calls the shape perfect and says they could never go smaller. Another notes Glorious kept weight low while making the shape work for large hands, unlike rivals sized for smaller grips. A fingertip-grip user found it more stable than the Pro X Superlight, which wobbled during hectic gaming moments by comparison.

Quality control remains a persistent worry despite generally positive support experiences. Several buyers describe defective units: mushy clicks, broken switches out of the box, or sensor rattle, with one going through three Model Ds before giving up on the brand. Others had faulty units replaced successfully, praising Glorious's responsive customer service. Still, the pattern of needing replacements makes some hesitant, even as they acknowledge the mouse's shape and feel are excellent when working correctly.
