Glorious Model I 2 Wireless Review

Shape



The Model I 2 Wireless is Glorious's take on both the Logitech G502 and Razer Basilisk (V1, V2 and V3 are takes on the G502) shapes. As with other Glorious mice, the Model I 2 Wireless lacks the sharp edges and more pointed design of the G502, which is a trait shared with the Basilisk. In terms of button design, it is closer to the Basilisk as well, lacking the additional buttons next to the left main buttons. Much like on both the G502 and Basilisk, the right main button sits much lower than the left one, but the left main button isn't as long as on the G502 even though both left and right still come across as elongated compared to other designs. The main buttons themselves feature minor comfort grooves, which too is something shared with the Basilisk, but not the G502. In general, while the overall curvature is similar to that of the G502 and Basilisk, the Model I 2 Wireless is a more streamlined design. The right side barely has any curvature, and the left side isn't curved as aggressively either, with the lack of the wider butt being the most noticeable difference. Circular holes for weight reduction are only present on the back and bottom. Overall, a familiar yet differently balanced design that works well in practice.

Compared to the Model I, most of the changes on the Model I 2 Wireless are of the aesthetic kind. As mentioned, the holes are circular instead of hexagonal, the "bearded man" brand logo has vanished, and the scroll wheel too has received a visual overhaul. The size and placement of the side buttons is virtually unchanged, and the dimensions are a match for the most part, with two main exceptions: The Model I 2 Wireless is marginally longer and not quite as wide, which is largely due to the thumb rest having been redesigned, as the grip width has stayed the same.


As for grip styles, I'd say the Model I 2 Wireless generally suits palm and claw grip the most. It is a medium-sized mouse with a fairly pronounced hump, which should make it generally suit most hand sizes. For reference, my hands are 19 cm long and 10 cm wide, and I found the Model I 2 Wireless comfortable in claw grip.
