Glorious Series 2 Pro Wireless

[pzogel]

Being the successor to the limited-release Series One Pro, the Series 2 Pro Wireless retains the same Viper Mini-like ambidextrous shape, and also comes with the BAMF 2.0 sensor, Glorious optical switches for the main buttons, wired and wireless 8000 Hz polling, and up to 80 hours of battery life.

On a plus side, it’s a wireless VM that isn’t the ridiculous SE meme for silly money. On a minus side - it’s still overpriced wildly for what it is. I never understood why Glorious thinks they can charge premium when none of their products were ever anything special apart from maybe the earliest mice when they got onto the lightweight train early mimicking FinalMouse. But these days the market has changed drastically. Hell, the Attack Shark X3 is a VERY similar shape practically speaking and is what, 40 bucks? Doesn’t have 8K polling, granted.

What I don't understand is, people keep holding out for the "true" Viper Mini Wireless when the Cobra Pro already exists. The whole argument about weight is a non-issue, I feel like. I have both a Viper Mini and a Cobra Pro (using it right now actually) and prefer the Cobra Pro. Not just because it's wireless, but because it feels better in my hand than the VM did. I have small hands but long fingers, and the VM always felt just a tad short in my hand. But the Cobra Pro, with it's slightly increased length, feels wonderful to hold and I can still palm grip it just fine. It's a great little mouse.

I think you fundamentally misunderstand why the VM was popular and why Cobra is a downgrade precisely because you palm grip. Nobody who used it seriously and obsessed over it did that. It was a claw or fingertip or hybrid of the two mouse. And especially in the case of fingertip the weight and slightly larger size ARE an issue.
