Glorious PC Gaming Race Model O Ultralight Gaming Mouse Review

A Closer Look & Performance

The first thing I notice about this mouse is just how much it lives up to its “Glorious” namesake. It’s a very pleasing thing to look at, and I love the bearded hero type on the side, it just looks really cool. Also, it’s super light. They claim it’s the lightest, but it’s not, however, it may have been when it was created, I am a little late to the party. That being said, it’s within a few grams difference with other ultralights, so it can certainly claim to be one of the lightest mice out there right now.

The beardy fellow looks great, and I love that the line of RGB lighting follows a similar contour. There are two nav buttons on the side, which can be programmed in the software if you so desire. However, they have a really nice click and action to them. They feel snappy and light, making them great for gaming, or just wasting time navigating reddit… like we do anything else!

As you can see, it’s been on a material diet, shedding quite a lot of weight but amazingly not losing any strength. I can press incredibly hard on this mesh design and it doesn’t move at all.

It sheds weight, but another welcome benefit is airflow. If you tend to get a sweaty palm when gripping a normal mouse, this more open design can really help.

The right side is doesn’t have the funky haired man, but it does have another strip of RGB lighting; you’ll see that in action shortly.

There’s a nice ergonomic shape to this mouse though, it’s very familiar feeling in your hand, and they’re clearly not trying to reinvent the wheel here. It’s comfortable in any grip type, and the lightweight design means you can lift the mouse with a light grip too.

The LMB and RMB are each made from their own sprung panel, so there’s no crosstalk between the two. There’s absolutely no pre-travel, with the top panels mounted right against the switch. This means the click feels instant and responsive. The click is very satisfying too, with a nice snappy feel to them, and it returns just as snappy too, meaning you can really rapid-fire your actions when needed. The large scroll wheel has deep rubber grips, and it’s a slightly higher wheel, so while it doesn’t spin like crazy, it does make for very accurate weapon switching in FPS games, as you can quickly count off the prominent “bumps” as you turn it.

On the underside, there’s another glorious looking man hiding here. The weight shedding continues down here too, with every panel having some level of perforation. There are four PTFE pads for added glide, but honestly, the mouse is so light, it barely needs them (those are protective blue covers, they peel off).

The Omron sensor is a well-tried and tested one. I’ve seen it in a few other mice, and it’s never let me down. Unsurprisingly, it’s just as great here as I expected. You can choose from 4 pre-set DPI levels by default; 400, 800, 1600, and 3200. Honestly, I left mine at 1600 DPI pretty much all the time and that felt fine for me on a 4K monitor. However, in the software, you can configure each profile from 100 right up to 12000 DPI to suit your needs. I suppose you can tinker with the RGB while you’re there.

The mouse looks even better with the RGB on, albeit, that is subjective. The matte white looks great with such vibrant colours, although I suspect the black and the glossy versions look great too.

There are eight built-in effects, allowing you to choose from cycles, fades, reactions, etc, all the usual stuff really.

The side lights actually light up the interior of the mouse too, but it’s more ambient than direct.

There’s a matching LED strip on the right side too, as well as one in the mouse wheel. Overall, it looks fantastic, with lots of colour but it doesn’t feel over done.

Look at the underside too, it’s so vibrant!
