Sort
-
Glide smoothness was one of the strongest attributes, with nearly every direct review praising the PTFE feet or smooth movement.
-
Weight was a major strength, with reviewers repeatedly praising the very light 60-62g body.
-
Reviewers strongly agreed the mouse is suited to FPS and competitive gaming because it is light, accurate, and responsive.
-
Reviewers consistently praised tracking and in-game precision, though one noted extreme DPI levels became difficult or unusable.
-
Customization drew strong praise because Glorious Core made remapping and performance settings easy, with many options available.
-
Sensor performance was strongly praised for smooth, consistent updates and problem-free tracking across games and surfaces.
-
Software usability was broadly praised as simple, clean, intuitive, and easy to use, despite some feature-depth and platform caveats.
-
Build quality was mostly positive, with several reviewers finding the shell sturdy or well built, despite some premium-feel complaints elsewhere.
-
Ergonomics were generally praised for right-handed comfort, but one reviewer disliked the front and left-side slope.
-
Shape comfort was mostly positive, especially for ergonomic right-handed use, but some reviewers found the side/front shape imperfect.
-
Switch feel was generally positive for light, spammable, tactile optical clicks, though one reviewer found them less refined than rivals.
-
Scroll wheel quality was generally positive, though one reviewer found it merely average.
-
Wireless latency was judged strong for serious competitors, though multiple reviewers could not feel the advantage over lower polling rates.
-
Programmable buttons were positively judged because reviewers could remap all buttons and assign macros or key bindings.
-
Button responsiveness was praised by YouTube reviewers who found the optical switches quick, light, and spammable.
-
DPI evidence was mixed but generally useful: reviewers valued adjustment and 26,000 DPI headroom, while one found very high DPI practically unusable.
-
Onboard memory was praised because settings and multiple profiles could be stored without relying on software every time.
-
Profile switching was praised where discussed, especially for quickly changing profiles and swapping settings between PCs or games.
-
Value for money was mixed: several reviewers liked the competitive price, while others preferred the 1K model or rival mice due to battery and polish concerns.
-
Debounce customization was viewed positively where discussed, with reviewers noting accessible performance-parameter and debounce settings.
-
Claw grip comfort was positive in the two direct mentions, with reviewers finding the shape easier or nicer for claw grip.
-
Lift-off distance customization was positively received as a fine-tuning option in the software.
-
The direct click-latency evidence was very positive, with the optical switches described as triggering particularly quickly.
-
Grip texture was mixed: some praised the grippy coating, while others found it ordinary, less soft, or a tradeoff for weight.
-
Surface compatibility was positive in the direct evidence, including tracking on glass and clear glass.
-
Switch durability evidence was positive but limited to the reviewer’s judgment of the optical switches as durable.
-
Wireless performance was mixed, with strong praise from some reviewers but dropouts or battery tradeoffs in others.
-
Macro support was mixed: reviewers liked having a macro recorder and extensive functions, but one found macros hit-or-miss in practice.
-
The only direct balance judgment was positive, with the reviewer calling the weight balancing solid.
-
The one direct long-session comfort judgment was positive, linking the ergonomic angle to reduced fatigue over marathon play.
-
Primary click quality was mixed, ranging from impeccable optical buttons to complaints about less refined or less tactile clicks.
-
Skate durability had limited but positive evidence, with one reviewer saying the skates were good enough not to replace.
Cons
Sort
-
Handedness options were negative because reviewers repeatedly called out the right-handed-only design and lack of a left-handed variant.
-
Charging convenience scored poorly because reviewers disliked the recessed or one-way USB-C connection, dongle cable setup, frequent charging, and weak low-battery warnings.
-
Bluetooth absence became a practical complaint in one test because a 2.4GHz issue forced wired use.
-
Connection stability was a concern in two reviews, with one reporting dropouts and another describing random direction clicks at 4K.
-
Firmware reliability was a recurring weak spot, with reviewers needing multiple attempts or reinstalling software after failed updates.
-
One reviewer reported a real 2.4GHz adapter drawback, saying it could strain connected devices, so evidence for the wireless dongle was negative rather than broadly tested.
-
RGB features were a negative for reviewers who felt the lack of lighting made the mouse look generic.
-
Click noise was a drawback: reviewers repeatedly noted the switches were loud or noticeably picked up.
-
Cross-platform compatibility was mixed because the mouse worked on macOS, but the required Glorious Core software was not available on Apple devices.
-
Software stability was weak where directly discussed, especially when firmware updating required reinstalling software.
-
Battery life was the most divided area: 1,000Hz runtime drew praise, but 4,000Hz use caused rapid drain, surprise shutdowns, and battery anxiety.
-
Premium feel was mixed-to-negative overall, with some saying it did not feel cheap and others saying it looked tacky or less premium.
-
Portability was mixed, helped by profile transfer but hurt by the lack of onboard dongle storage.
-
Palm comfort was highly dependent on hand and button reach, ranging from a very good palm fit to awkward thumb stretching or narrowness.
-
Side button quality was highly mixed, with some reviewers praising access and solidity while others found the placement awkward or too close.
-
Materials quality was split between sturdy, high-quality impressions and complaints that the plastic or coating felt cheaper than rivals.
-
Motion consistency split sharply: lab-style testing found the sensor consistent, while one reviewer saw random direction clicks at 4K.
-
Polling rate was the main tradeoff: reviewers valued the high ceiling for serious competitors but often called it overkill or hard to notice.
