Glorious Model I 2 Wireless Review
Bottom Line
Choose it for a light ergonomic wireless mouse with many programmable buttons. Skip it if you want long RGB-on battery life, left-handed support, or a true MMO button grid.
Best for
Best for right-handed gamers who want a light ergonomic wireless mouse with more programmable controls than basic FPS mice. It especially fits users who value thumb-rest comfort, smooth glide, and software remapping.
Not for
Not for left-handed users, RGB-on battery-life maximizers, or players who need a full MMO thumb grid. It also may not satisfy users who want wireless charging, free-spin scrolling, or tilt-wheel controls.
Verdict
The Glorious Model I 2 Wireless lands as a rare lightweight ergonomic mouse with more controls than most stripped-down esports models. Reviewers repeatedly liked its comfortable right-hand shape, smooth glide, strong BAMF sensor, and flexible button setup, especially the swappable thumb buttons and layer-shift options. The tradeoff is focus: it has useful extra inputs, but not enough for everyone who wants a dedicated MMO mouse, and it stays lighter by skipping richer features such as wireless charging or advanced scroll-wheel modes. Battery life is the most consistent weakness, because RGB can turn a long-runtime wireless mouse into something reviewers had to charge far more often.

- Worse: weight RandomFrankP emphasized that the Glorious is dramatically lighter than the Basilisk V3 Pro.
- Worse: ergonomics and side buttons PC Gamer preferred the Model I 2 over the Model O because of its ergonomic shape and added side buttons.

FAQ
Is the Glorious Model I 2 Wireless good for FPS games?
Yes. Reviewers describe smooth glide, accurate tracking, low noticeable latency, and useful DPI/sniper-style button functions for shooters.
Is it a real MMO mouse?
Only partly. The nine buttons and layer-shift feature help, but several reviewers say it does not replace a dedicated MMO mouse with a larger thumb grid.
How is the battery life?
It depends heavily on RGB. With lighting off, reviews cite strong rated runtimes, but many reviewers found RGB drained the battery quickly.

Yes. Reviews confirm Bluetooth, 2.4GHz wireless dongle use, and wired USB-C operation.
Is it comfortable for long sessions?
Generally yes for right-handed palm, claw, and hybrid users. Multiple reviewers reported no cramping, fatigue, or discomfort after long gameplay sessions.
Are the side buttons useful?
They are useful and customizable, with swappable shapes and remapping, but opinions are mixed on placement, slickness, and crowding.
