Aside from its smaller size, the Model D- Wireless and Model D Wireless are virtually identical. Accordingly, most of what was said in the review of the latter applies to the Model D- Wireless. That said, there are some minor differences worth exploring.

First of all, sensor performance. The Model D- Wireless of course utilizes the BAMF sensor, which essentially is a PixArt PAW3370. Accordingly, performance by and large is no different from the Model D Wireless with two exceptions. For one, CPI deviation is higher than on the Model D Wireless and Model O Wireless, and substantially higher than on the Model O- Wireless, which has near-perfect CPI accuracy. All of these share the same firmware, but by the looks of it, the mounting height of the sensor isn't the same between them, leading to differences in actual CPI. From what I can tell, mouse feet height too is identical across the entire Glorious Wireless range, so the only culprit left are the shells themselves. Barring any adjustments to the tooling, Glorious would have to come up with firmware fine-tuned for each SKU to fully remedy the present CPI deviation. Of course, one can simply adjust nominal CPI until actual CPI ends up on target, but there is another caveat to this. Contrary to what Glorious claims, my testing strongly suggests that CPI adjustment in increments of 10 is not possible on the latest firmware. As a result, only increments of 50 are possible, which limits how granular any adjustments can be.

Second, motion delay. In my testing, both the Model D- Wireless and Model O- Wireless score slightly worse in the wireless latency department, whereas wired latency is exactly the same. The total motion delay in wireless mode stands at 2.5 ms, which is 0.5 ms higher than on the Model D Wireless and roughly on par with the Cooler Master MM731. Given the firmware is the same, one can only tend to physical differences when searching for an explanation. And sure enough, both the Model D- Wireless and Model O- Wireless come with a more recent board revision that features a different antenna. In lieu of better explanations, this might be where the difference stems from, but that is conjecture at best. Either way, this is more of an anecdote than actual criticism as 0.5 ms of added delay are well below the sensory capabilities of a human anyway.

Another oddity I've found pertains to lift-off distance adjustment. I've been able to refine my testing to finally say with confidence that LOD adjustment is not working at all. That is, even when set to "2 mm," LOD will be no different from the "1 mm" setting. Typically, people only take issue with LOD that is too high by default and cannot be lowered, which is why LOD adjustment not being functional is not a real issue in this case. At the same time, Glorious does sell their so-called G-Floats for their Wireless range, which are ceramic mouse feet and slightly thicker than the default PTFE ones. As such, tracking may be cut off when using those, and given the lack of a working 2 mm setting, there is little one can do about it, which is certainly not ideal.

In terms of build and components, the Model D- Wireless is very similar to the Model D Wireless. The build itself feels even more solid than on the Model D Wireless, with no creaking whatsoever and no flexing when squeezing the sides, either. Kailh GM 8.0 switches are used once again for the main buttons, and they provide a firm and snappy response. While the side-button switches too are still Huano Green, the side-button construction has been modified a bit. Coincidentally, the back button is worse than on the Model D Wireless on my copy, as when pressed towards the back, it can be pushed in a decent amount before the switch is actuated, which wasn't the case on the Model D Wireless. Truthfully, I'm unable to tell whether this is due to the different design or simply isolated to my copy. The scroll wheel is the same one as on the Model D Wireless, but curiously enough, tactility is a bit better, resulting in very controlled and pleasing scrolling. Lastly, the sensor lens is loose on my unit. Considering the PCB is fixated much the same way on the Model D- Wireless as on the O, D, and O- Wireless, which do not have any lens movement, I firmly believe this is merely a one-off.

Since the overall design is so similar to the Model D Wireless, it comes as no surprise that the weight is very similar as well. Any weight savings compared to its bigger brother are entirely due to the smaller size, which accounts for no more than 2 g. Regardless of that, the Model D- Wireless does feel light and well-balanced in use, which is further complemented by the nice feet and, when used while charging, highly flexible charging cable.

The Model D- Wireless is the first Glorious mouse in white I've used. I've always been fond of the matte coating on Glorious mice, and the Model D- Wireless is no exception in this regard. Even after prolonged use, I've only observed minimal dirt build-up, which could be removed with a single wipe with no traces of it left. Barring any yellowing over time, I'd therefore expect the white coating to hold up just as well as the black one. The only criticism I can come up with is from an aesthetic point of view: While both the mouse and wireless extender are white, the charging cable is still plain black. Considering the cable will always be on the desk, visible together with the extender, keeping that one entirely in white would look much better by comparison. Pulsar, for instance, has been able to include a white charging cable with their white Xlite Wireless, so I'm sure Glorious is able to do the same.

This conclusion may sound more negative and nit-picky than it should. By and large, the Model D- Wireless performs just as well as the Model D Wireless, which is why there is little more to write about it. Criticism is still warranted when it comes to Glorious Core, which works decently well, but uses quite a bit of resources and continues to suffer from the occasional bug even more than a year after its release. That said, the Model D- Wireless provides a strong package at its price point and thus earns our Recommended and Budget awards.

When it comes to right-handed ergonomic wireless mice, there are more options than ever before. Priced at $129.99, the ROCCAT Kone Pro Air does without holes, too is very light at 73 g, has similarly great build quality and great performance, but lacks a wireless extender and suffers from botched polling with RGB turned on. The Razer DeathAdder V2 Pro is also priced at $129.99, weighs a bit more at 87 g, and its main buttons can be hit or miss, but the optical switches afford outstandingly low latency, sensor performance is stellar, polling stable, wireless delay still good, and a wireless extender is included. At $129.99, the SteelSeries Prime Wireless too comes without holes, impresses with its general build and lightweight design, great performance, and has a wireless extender included, but suffers from inconsistent main buttons and lackluster click latency. The $119.99 ASUS ROG Gladius III Wireless weighs 89 g, allows for using either mechanical or optical main button switches, both of which shine with incredibly low latency, has excellent sensor and wireless performance provided the latest firmware is applied, and a wireless extender can be found in the box, though it is brought down by Armoury Crate, which may only please masochists. The much smaller ASUS ROG Keris Wireless lacks a wireless extender, but too has hot-swappable main button switches, great performance, an appreciably low weight at 79 g, very low click latency, and very nice buttons and feet, but again comes with the non-negotiable Armoury Crate burden, for $99.99. The $109.99 Corsair Sabre RGB Pro Wireless also lacks a wireless extender, but scores with incredibly low click latency, great sensor performance, fairly low weight for its size, but too is brought down by the behemoth that is Corsair iCUE. For $89.99, the Cooler Master MM731 provides largely the same performance, even lower weight without any holes, optical switches for the main buttons, and a wireless extender, but desperately needs the latest firmware as performance without it applied is disastrous. For $74.95, the Pulsar Xlite Wireless has excellent performance, low click latency, a wireless extender included, and weighs 59 g, but the lack of a bottom plate may not be to everyone's liking. Lastly, the Dream Machines DM6 Holey Duo is the budget option, even featuring a wireless extender at a price point of $49.99, weighs 79 g, but suffers from very high click latency, some motion delay, massive CPI deviation, and a coating that attracts finger marks almost magnetically.
