Glorious Model D- Wireless Gaming Mouse Review

Shape & Dimensions »

Packaging


Aside from the mouse, one finds a charging cable (Type-A to Type-C), wireless extender, wireless dongle, quick start guide, sticker, card with some words from Glorious' CEO, and a set of supplementary mouse feet inside the sturdy box.

Weight


My scale shows around 67 g (+/- 1 g), which is exactly in line with the weight cited by Glorious. The Model D- Wireless weighs only 2 g less than the larger Model D Wireless, but just 4 g more than the wired Model D-. In any case, its weight is excellent, especially when keeping the size of the Model D- Wireless along with the fact that holes are only used sparingly for weight reduction in mind.

Cable


The Model D- Wireless comes with a paracord-like, braided charging cable (USB Type-A to Type-C). An anchor at the mouse-end of the cable ensures the cable not coming loose during use, although it also prevents one from plugging in the connector in either orientation. In terms of flexibility, this one is easily as good as the regular "Ascended" cable on the latest Glorious wired mice. Accordingly, the Model D- Wireless can be used as if it were a wired mouse with barely if any perceivable difference in terms of handling. Its measured length is 2 m. The cable has a ferrite bead attached, which reduces signal noise, as well as a gold-plated USB connector.

The charging cable also functions as an extension cable if used in conjunction with the wireless extender. The wireless extender can be used to keep the distance between dongle and mouse as short as possible. Since the mouse itself lacks a storage compartment for the dongle, the extender can also simply be used as something to attach the dongle to, which reduces the likelihood of the dongle getting lost when traveling.

Feet


The feet on the Model D- Wireless are white-dyed pure PTFE (Teflon) feet with slightly rounded edges. They are of above average thickness and glide very well. Size and shape are identical to those of the Model O, O-, and D. And much like on the latter, the footprint can be increased by adding the included supplementary feet, although I still struggle to see the point in doing so, as even when applied with utmost care, glide won't be perfectly even. The way the Endgame Gear XM1r solves this no doubt is the more elegant solution.
