Greater than one weekTo preface this review, I have owned almost every main production mouse that Glorious has produced, including the original thick cable Model O. I have had a lot of quality control issues with their Model D line, but my Model Os have been mostly solid. This mouse, from a construction standpoint, feels very good. No creaking or rattling, no wobbling left and right clicks, and smooth mouse feet. Included in the box is the mouse, a few small pieces of literature, a sticker, and nothing else. The older Glorious mice used to include extra mouse feet, but no longer. The mouse was very difficult to get out of the packaging after breaking the seals on the top and bottom of the box. Pulling from the top tab got nowhere, so I had to eventually push the box out of the sleeve instead, using an excessive amount of force. Being a mouse collector and having tried (and owned) hundreds of mice, I can confidently say that this mouse isnt worth the current price of $65 USD. The scroll wheel is mushy and occasionally overscrolls, misses a scroll step, or bounces upward when scrolling down. The side buttons are overly stiff, and the cable is thicker than the previous Model O and is heavier and not quite as flexible, but still overall a decent cable. Mine also had a small black stain on the white cable right where it meets the mouse/stress relief. The stress relief is also not angled upward, and the cable will rub on the pad even in a bungee. On the plus side, the clicks feel and sound good, and the shape/weight are just right for my personal preference. The new holes look better than the old larger honeycomb cutouts, and I like the default RGB colors as they are more pastel rather than the vibrant Glorious RGB that is default on the older mice. Lastly, the sensor feels snappy with what I believe to be a a top-of-the-line variant of the PixArt PMW3395. In conclusion, I feel like there are many better wired mice out there for the price. With most companies trending away from wired competitive mice, I would have expected this to cost less. The Razer Viper 8khz, Razer Deathadder V3 wired, HyperX Pulsefire Haste, Xtrfy M4, Roccat Burst Pro, Endgame Gear XM1r, and even the wireless Steelseries Aerox 3 currently cost less than this mouse, and would be a better value and offer comparable performance.

> 3 daySUPER light weight, good battery life, and great button/scrolling feel for gaming. RGB is neat, but I turn it off to save battery life. Wireless performance is excellent with no noticeable delay or stuttering. I did install the latest mouse firmware as recommended by Glorious. The Glorious Core software is useful and intuitive and makes customizing the mouse easy. This mouse would be a perfect 5 stars but for one thing: the annoying proprietary charging cable. Event though this mouse has a USB-C charging port, and the included cable looks like a regular USB-A to USB-C cable, it is NOT standard. The mouse can only be charged by plugging the proprietary cable into a computers USB port! It will NOT charge with a standard phone charger, etc. I hate proprietary cables, and am disappointed Glorious decided to do this. Oh well, its a great mouse otherwise.

> 3 dayAnother excellent product from one of my most trusted brands for quality and performance! Great mouse, great feel, lighter than I like, but its made to be that way for those who like a light mouse. It glides so smooth and the response is impeccable. Highly recommend for any one needing/wanting a lighter mouse for gaming. Anything from Glorious is nothing short of actually glorious.

> 3 dayI got this to finally get away from wired. The cordless + lightweight feels great, it flows across mousepad effortlessly. it fits my hand well and the button placement is perfect for me. And the RGB is also a nice touch and looks great. And the battery seems to last a long time. This was a great upgrade from wired+heavy. Very happy with it!

> 3 dayI had a Model D previouisly and the Model Ov2 is immediately familiar. I noticed they got rid of the hexagon pattern and went with just circular holes instead. The sensor is as accurate as ever, the weight super low, the cable slick, etc its a great mouse. The one regression in evolution is the mouse wheel snapping back. It scrolls physically smooth but the pages will occasionally snap the wrong way. It happens probably every few seconds when scrolling down a page it will scroll back up momentarily then back down. I thought maybe itd go away after a few days but its the same as opening day. Theres probably a firmware fix but you gotta install their software suite to do update it. Edit: I updated the firmware and it still had the mouse wheel problem.
