Glorious Model O Wirelesschat_bubble_outlineFrom real comments

A very common complaint is a squeaky scroll wheel or right-click button developing after weeks or months of use, sometimes recurring on replacement units sent by Glorious. Several users say they now just live with the noise.

@peanutbutterbean1738

2 years later of my MOW and its held up like a champ, a bit of creaking when you squeeze it but you have to really try, all the buttons are still crispy and the scroll wheel is as satisfying as day one, thats the one thing i will always love about glorious mice over any other brand is the scroll wheel, and on the scroll wheel, it never got squeaky like it did on my wired model o (after about 3 months as opposed to nothing from my MOW after 2 years of maining it). the only issues i have with it is also a bonus to me and that is the honey comb design on the shell in that it collects a lot of gamer gunk, so i have a toothbrush i use to clean it every few weeks so its not that big of a deal for me. i also got it with the g floats and they have also held up amazingly, ive had the misfortune of being in situations where i would have to use it on less than optimal surfaces being away from home since the house fire we had and so we didnt have a lot of our stuff and using it on bare tables for a few months theres barely any scratches on them. now with the fire that has caused other issues, namely from the smoke damage but thats nothing against the mouse itself, the plastic is yellowing quite a bit and the sensor is stuttering a little bit too, so its sad to have to move on to another mouse with the sensor failing but it treated me well the last 2 years and i have almost nothing but praise to give to it ofter almost nothing but hate for my wired model o since that one basically fell apart after like 6 months. so for my \"LAST IMPRESSIONS\" i would just say that theres nothing that i 'dont like' about the mouse at all, granted theres thing that could be a little better but nothing that stands out as a flaw. so great mouse, would reccomend, just im not sure about glorious' QC over the years as ive heard mod things but dont know how true they are and i havent used any more modern competitors so i dont know if its value has stood the test of time. but again, looking at it on its own, would highly recommend. (forgot to mention the reason i got the g floats was because one of the stock skates had a huge scratch/mark/dent in it and though i didnt feel it in game at all i just hated that it was there, that was just me getting unlucky with my copy though)launch

One thing which I have observed by using the Model O Wireless is, that the mouse wheel is squeaking when scrolling. I have 2 times already sent my mouse back to Glorious and the two new mice also started squeaking after a few weeks. Now I just live with it, but i wouldnt buy a Glorious mouse again till they officially fixed that issue. You can read about this problem in many reddit threads or user reviews.launch

As someone who has used all 3 and owns 2 of the mice mentioned (GPX & Model O Wireless) I can say that everything he says is mostly correct but some things are good to know.\r\n*Model O Wireless:* You're entering a QC (quality check) lottery when you buy this mouse since both I who bought it like 9 months ago and my cousin who bought it like 1-2 month's ago both have creaking issues on right-click. Battery life doesn't go much past a 1 week of use if you turn of RGB and if you have it enabled expect to be charging often. For my claw hybrid grip this didn't really feel the best mostly on that back palm area and righ side of the mouse where I have index and long finger diden't fit so the index was touching my hien pad a lot (rougher pad + fingers which are sesitiv to touch + crazy movement = suprise diden't feel to good, bearable tho).\r\n\r\n*G Pro X Superlight:* Great shape for Palm, Claw and my use case Claw hybrid where my hand size is 9.5cmX19.5cm. Good mouse feet but super thin so expect to replace them in a couple of weeks (3-5 weeks for me using a hien until I noticed that the feet were way to flat and did not have a smooth glide. I recommend that you sooner or later buy the corepadz feet for the GPX which are super thick and you get 2 of em (tigers are also ok but u only get 1 with slightly faster glide). Paying extra once you've already paid almost double the Model O Wireless feels like a heavy premium but you are getting one of the lightest mice, not entering a QC lottery, no comb, super long battery time (talking months not a week depending on use), great sensor and wireless connectivity. I recommend you buy these second-hand if you can which I've done with practically everything in my gaming setup including these mice.launch

Multiple reviewers describe a 'QC lottery,' citing creaking, dead-on-arrival units, cracked charge ports, and units that stop charging entirely. Glorious's reputation for shaky QC is mentioned across several comments.

@shaggy_mane

Don't bother with this mouse, I got it for Christmas and it stopped working mid ranked match, even though it was connected and charging. I have a basic battery powered mouse from 2016 from another company that's never had this issue. I threw the Model O2 in the garbage after that. Typical for a company to dump money into ads and fancy lights instead of making sure their mouse works.launch

@SevenKS77

I have to say as someone who owned an OG Model O. This O2 is an absolute downgrade in many ways. No one wants that much RGB any more. 68g is no longer considered Ultralight. QC is atrocious on it. Their company used to be smaller and QC checked every mouse. Even their limited Forge mice had tons of QC issues. The company as a whole just doesn't seem to be concerned with what their customers or competitors are doing or want. It's sad to see because they really could have pushed Razer and Logitechlaunch

I have lost quite a lot of faith on Glorious. If they want a bigger traction and recover their rep, they need to do something new and better. Which means no QC issues, no scuffed launches, etc.launch

Several users report software or hardware bugs causing double clicks or failed click registration, with one reviewer explicitly discouraging purchase until fixed and another describing 300-400ms click delays.

@AZyntic

If you see this comment somehow, DO NOT BUY THIS MOUSE. I got it for my birthday and after only 6 hours of use I can say that its awful. After wanting an upgrade from my regular model O that I used for 2 years I thought this would be a good option. The mouse’s switches are heavier than the regular model O and are harder to press. The mouse will often times register your clicks extremely late (300-400ms after you click) and sometimes the clicks just don’t register altogether (about 1 in 20-30 clicks). Do not buy this mouse, not worth it at all.launch

@kianiavdp3332

Dbonce time is for it to prevent double clicks when the mouse click button bounces and hits the click twice so when you put it to 0ms it’s means that there is no prevention for the double click witch is not good for fps gameslaunch

@IntelEdits

Still seeing some comments about the software being bugged which is why it can't double click. I'm still not sure, it seems to be working for me, but I'll post an update video if there is an update that fixes it. In the mean time, I would discourage you from buying it until more news comes out about the mouse. Thanks for watching!launch

Users report mid-match disconnects, failure to detect switching from wireless to wired during gameplay, and packages lost or delayed in shipping, causing frustration during use.

@asyrafsalman5808

I'm not sure if anyone else faces this issue, but while I am in-game (valorant), and my mouse dies and I plug in the wire instead, it does not detect the change unless I Alt-F4 my game and return to Windows desktop. This was not an issue when I was using a Razer Mamba wireless and changing from wireless to wired in-game =(launch

Users note that enabling RGB significantly reduces battery life versus advertised figures, with one comment on the related Model D reporting real-world battery life far below the claimed 71 hours.

@Aeysir

I had a Model D wireless on pre-order and been running it a couple of weeks now. Excellent mouse but I would say that battery life is a little optimistic on the quoted 71 hours. 8 with LEDs on, 30 without, not seeing the promised 71 by any stretch. Not a particular problem mind as the supplied cord is long enough that, just plugged in, it's just a model D which I already adored and this new one doesn't (yet) have a squeaky scroll wheel 😁launch

A user reports the advertised blue-to-pink RGB gradient effect is impossible to actually configure in the software, despite it being used prominently in marketing and influencing their purchase.

@alsweeet

I've been using the Model-O for a year now and love it for the most part. My only gripe is they market it with colors that aren't actually possible to use. The blue to pink gradient they show everywhere (which matches my setup and influenced my purchase by the way) is impossible to configure in the glorious settings. I spoke to glorious support and they were absolutely terrible. It took hours of painful back and forth emails for them to finally admit that it was in fact not possible to achieve the advertised lighting effect. I keep waiting on a software update for this simple fix but alas I'm still waiting.launch

A user asks about the white matte finish fading after only 1-2 weeks of use, questioning whether the black version has the same durability problem.

@frogite135

Does the matte finish fade on the black model o as easily as the white? I am in a predicament while deciding whether to get the white wireless or the black. The white matte's finish fades after like 1-2 weeks of use, does the matte black's go that fast or does it go at all??launch
