Model O Minus

GLORIOUS $55

The best competitive gaming mouse

When the Model O
Minus (the Model O is
slightly larger) weighs in
at 58 grams, and is stuffed with
both the functionality you really
need in a competitive gaming
mouse and RGB lighting, I think
we can look past its eccentric
“look at me” appearance.
I’m not a huge fan of the looks
of the Glorious Model O Minus.
It’s sort of ugly. What is with those
cutouts? But each to their own, I
suppose—you can just drop your
angry letter onto the pile
alongside the ones from that time
I called Noctua’s brown/beige
fans ‘pretty’. What I do applaud
the Model O Minus for is its stellar

value, incredible performance,

and light as a feather design.

Glorious has truly nailed down

what’s necessary in a gaming

mouse to give you the

competitive edge you require

in-game. It’s fitted with a superb

Pixart 3360 sensor, reliable

switches, a color-coded DPI

switcher, and a lightweight and

flexible cable that won’t distract

you when you’re in the middle of a

game of Call of Duty.

G Pro Wireless

LOGITECH $150

Wireless gaming without sacrifice

Every gaming mouse is

selling itself on

improving invisible

odds. Slivers of latency, marginal

improvements, millisecond

responses—you know it’s better

than that yellowing office rodent,

but you have to work on your own

skills to unlock all of its potential.

Well, except the G Pro Wireless,

which had a seemingly immediate

effect on my gaming proficiency.

Perhaps it was the shift from a

wired mouse to the freedom of a

wireless one, or maybe it’s my

inclination to lighter mice—the G

Pro was by far the lightest I’d tried

at that time. Either way, my K/D

was grateful for the change.

Powering that experience is

the HERO 16K sensor, a highly

responsive and instantaneous

sensor and the same one within

the superb G502 Lightspeed.

That’s housed within an

endoskeletal shell to keep it light

and fleet of foot on your mouse

mat. Beyond that, the G Pro’s

formula is straightforward—aside

from the replaceable thumb

switches that turn this into an

ambidextrous hero.
