Glorious PC Gaming Race Unveils the Model O- Mouse Weighing 58 Grams
The race for the ultralight-weight mouse is on, and all seem to adopt the honeycomb cutout design too. After Glorious PC Gaming Race impressed us heavily with their Model O mouse that came in ~67-68 grams, we saw Cooler Master's MM710 shown off at Computex this year rated at under 53 grams! While neither company was the first to use this design, the MM710 is still another 1.5 months away from retail release and the the former saw a window to release their new Model O- mouse at Quakecon last week.
The Model O- ("Minus") is a smaller version of the Model O, and otherwise will come in all four variants of color and finish options the Model O does. It is rated at 58 grams (matte finish, 59 for the glossy finish) without the cable, 1.5-3 mm smaller in all dimensions relative to the Model O, features the same internal guts with the excellent Pixart PMW3360 optical sensor, and is now up for pre-order at the same $49.99 on their website. If you felt you wanted a smaller mouse that was even lighter, there is now another option for you to choose from. Let us know in the comments what your thoughts are on having a more exposed mouse chassis in the quest of mass reduction as well.

I can only imagine how much dead skin and palm sweat that will collect over the years, let's not forget Cheetos and Doritos "dust"...
Or just keep them behind museum-strength glass enclosures...
My gawd, what a nightmare will that be in just one month's time.
(And also very difficult to clean, since 1st) need to open the mouse and probably void the warranty 2nd) how exactly do you clean between electronic components?
Ridiculous idea !
And blingy too!
Man, those holes are just a funnel for "Whatever" and things will get nasty inside in a hurry.
I'll pass.
Light mouse means more muscle movement at lower DPI which is good. There is a limit though, as you go lighter you lose precision so you must lower your dpi but that means more movement.
At 58g you will need a soccer field of mousepad to be precise
Sorry, I have to ask...
The rest just laughs about itCarpal tunnel has nothing to do with this mouse, or everything, depending on how you put it.
Look here. I think we don't need to discuss the ideal shape for such a mouse ;)
I would never use this mouse as I game to have fun, not on a competitive level. But I can't imagine how sweat and dirt is going to DROP into your mouse. More likely the outside lattice will pick up whatever your normal, clothes-on mouse would, and the skin in contact with the holes will hold onto whatever disgusting grime you people are building up on the regular. I see it as a non-issue and the worst thing about this mouse is the holes are largely unnecessary and ugly.
I will stick with my Kone XTD
As for comments about it failing due to sweat and dirt. That's over exaggerated, projecting much?
Holes and structural integrity of these mice also isn't that bad. At least for the Glorious Model O and Final Mouse Ultralight mice. They don't collapse when pressing on the chassis as some may think would happen. There's a structural foundation underneath it all. If push comes to shove yea sure you can puncture it for those with the intent to break it.
I for one am excited about the Model O-. And yes I can feel the difference between my Logitech GPro Wireless, FM Ultralight Pro, and Glorious Model O. To each they're own.
I still have two ergonomic style mice (a Evoluent VerticalMouse C & a Finalmouse Classic Ergo) for desktop work (The FM CE just didn't work for me with FPS sadly), but for FPS gaming, I've loved both my FM Air and current Glorious.
Playstyles with different mice are not new and widely recognized so its really not that, at all. Everyone here with a bit of knowledge knows all about palm and claw grippers. Nothing new. This mouse is just a light claw gripper with a good sensor & shape and uses those holes to stand out from the crowd of 100% similar mice already in existence...
