Who wins on what

Ranked by what users actually praise

Overall Impression

Lightweight design wins over long-term users. Multiple owners note the Model O's low weight fundamentally changed how their mouse feels, describing it as feeling like the 'normal weight of a mouse' after adjusting, and crediting it with improved aim and control compared to heavier mice like the DeathAdder Elite or G502. Some have used the same unit for years without issue, calling it superior to pricier Razer, HyperX, and Logitech mice they'd previously owned.

Quality control issues plague a notable share of units. Scroll wheel squeaking or over-sensitive clicking is reported repeatedly, sometimes recurring even after replacements. Others report creaking right-clicks, stuck buttons, or side buttons failing after months of use. While Glorious's customer service is frequently praised for smooth replacements and refunds, several buyers say repeated failures across multiple units pushed them to abandon the brand entirely for competitors like Logitech or Razer.

Honeycomb shell and wireless quirks divide opinion. The honeycomb holes are loved for cutting weight but criticized for trapping dust, hair, sweat, and food debris that's difficult to clean out, especially for users with sweaty hands or pets. Wireless dropouts tied to 2.4GHz WiFi interference and battery life falling well short of advertised hours with RGB enabled are also common complaints, though some report driver updates improved connectivity over time.
