The Glorious Model D 2 has to work hard.

And that weight reduction plays a big role.

The Model D 2 also impresses in its connectivity.

However, Glorious offers 2.4GHz, Bluetooth, and wired connections here - making for a particularly versatile experience.

Performance

The Glorious Model D 2 is a particularly smooth experience.

Im not used to feeling so in-control with a flatter grip, so this was certainly a learning experience.

Should you buy the Glorious Model D 2?

At just under $100, the Glorious Model D 2 is particularly well-priced.

Again, though, this is a competitive sector.

You dont have to spend much more to find mid-range gaming mice with improved specs and features.

The latter is generally on sale for the same price as the Glorious Model D 2 these days.

Theres also the Hyperspeed problem.
