Glorious Model D Minus Honeycomb Gaming Mouse (GLO-MS-DM-MW) Review

The Glorious Model D Minus Honeycomb Gaming Mouse (GLO-MS-DM-MW) has generated significant buzz in the gaming community, promising a lightweight, high-performance experience. After spending several weeks putting this matte white marvel through its paces, I’m ready to share my comprehensive review.

The Model D Minus boasts a compelling list of features. Its honeycomb shell contributes significantly to its lightweight design (a claimed 70g), making it exceptionally comfortable for extended gaming sessions. The Omron switches are rated for an impressive 21 million clicks, suggesting a long lifespan. The G-Skates, made of 100% pure Virgin PTFE, provide exceptionally smooth gliding. The customizable DPI indicator is a nice touch, although the software could be more intuitive.

Beyond the hardware, the included software allows for extensive customization of DPI settings, RGB lighting, and button assignments. While I found the software functional, a more user-friendly interface would enhance the overall experience.

In terms of performance, the Model D Minus delivers. The optical sensor provided consistently accurate tracking, and I experienced zero instances of spinouts or acceleration issues. The lightweight design made aiming precise and effortless, especially in fast-paced games like Valorant and Overwatch. The responsiveness was excellent, thanks to the 1000Hz polling rate. However, the low lift-off distance (less than 0.7mm) took some getting used to, occasionally leading to unintentional cursor movements. This is a matter of personal preference and adjustment.

Pros:

  • Ultra-lightweight design
  • High-durability Omron switches
  • Smooth gliding G-Skates
  • Accurate and responsive optical sensor
  • Customizable DPI and RGB

Cons:

  • Software could be more user-friendly
  • Very low lift-off distance may require adjustment

Overall, the Glorious Model D Minus Honeycomb Gaming Mouse (GLO-MS-DM-MW) is a strong contender in the lightweight gaming mouse market. Its exceptional performance, coupled with its durable build quality, makes it a worthwhile investment for serious gamers. While the software could use some refinement, the overall experience is positive. I highly recommend this mouse to anyone seeking a lightweight, high-precision gaming solution.
