The GLORIOUS Model O Wireless is an excellent ultra-light gaming mouse. It's a wireless version of the GLORIOUS Model O and it remains very light despite having a battery built-in. It has a different sensor compared to the wired variant and the new GLORIOUS BAMF sensor has a wider CPI range that you can adjust in smaller increments. This mouse is very well-built and even though it has a honeycomb body, it feels solid. It's very comfortable and suitable for large hands using any grip, but it may be too big for those with small hands. The virgin-grade PTFE feet provide a very smooth gliding experience. Unfortunately, despite it being a wireless model, it's not ideal for use on-the-go because it lacks Bluetooth support and doesn't have a slot to store its USB receiver.
Our Verdict

Test Results
The GLORIOUS Model O Wireless looks exactly like its wired version, the GLORIOUS Model O, and the unit we tested has a matte black body. It has a stylish shape with a honeycomb design to help reduce body weight. It's all black except for the gray GLORIOUS logo on the left side and the frost white on the scroll wheel. There are strips of RGB lighting on the sides and scroll wheel, but you can't control them independently. There are eight different preset RGB modes. You can switch between two separate brightness settings and you can program it to permanently set to the dimmer mode when used wirelessly to conserve battery. If you're interested in a similarly lightweight gaming mouse with distinctive heart and diamond-shaped cutouts in the body instead of the honeycomb-shaped cutouts on the GLORIOUS, check out the Vancer BT.L Gretxa. Or, if you're interested in a version of the GLORIOUS Model O Wireless with a solid plastic shell instead of a honeycomb design, take a look at the GLORIOUS Model O PRO.
Despite being a wireless mouse, it's a bit difficult to carry around because there's no space to store the USB receiver.
The GLORIOUS Model O Wireless has excellent build quality. The entire body feels really solid and doesn't flex at all when squeezed. There aren't any loose or wobbly parts. The circuit board seems to be covered fairly well and it shouldn't allow too much dust in. Unlike the GLORIOUS Model O, we didn't experience any issues with the scroll wheel where the rubber would move and the scroll wheel didn't. Overall, it feels like an upgrade over the wired variant.
Even though the GLORIOUS Model O Wireless has an added battery compared to the wired GLORIOUS Model O, it's only marginally heavier. If you're interested in a much lighter wireless gaming mouse, check out the Finalmouse Starlight-12 Small. Or, if you prefer a mouse with a solid plastic shell without honeycomb cutouts, check out the Pulsar X2 or the Keychron M3.
The GLORIOUS Model O Wireless is very comfortable. It has an ambidextrous design, but since the side buttons are only on the left side, it's better suited for right-handed use. Those with small hands may not find it comfortable and it's designed more for larger hands. Sadly, there aren't any grips. If you're interested in a similarly lightweight, wireless gaming mouse but with an ergonomic right-handed shape, check out the ROCCAT Kone Pro Air or the GLORIOUS Model D- Wireless.
The GLORIOUS Model O Wireless has decent wireless versatility. It only connects to its USB receiver, so you can't connect to it via Bluetooth. It comes with a USB extender, allowing you to place the receiver closer to the mouse. It's advertised to have a 71-hour battery life without RGB, but this isn't something we test for. To help conserve battery, you can set the RGB lighting to turn off after a period of inactivity and it comes back on as soon as you move the mouse. If you're interested in a newer version of this mouse with much longer advertised battery life and added Bluetooth support, check out the GLORIOUS Model O 2 Wireless.
The included USB-C cable is a bit different than the cable from the GLORIOUS Model O that we tested since it doesn't retain any kinks from the packaging. It's a paracord-like cable that moves well and has good flexibility. It's worth noting that newer versions of the wired Model O apparently have a better cable, which is likely closer to the one included with this mouse.
The GLORIOUS Model O Wireless' virgin-grade PTFE feet are outstanding. They feel of high quality and provide a very good gliding experience, but have sharp edges, which could cause some scratchiness when used on a desk. You can buy third-party replacement feet.

The GLORIOUS Model O Wireless has an okay amount of buttons. You can reprogram any of its buttons, but changing the left-click button to something else without reprogramming the left-click action makes the mouse almost useless. If you're interested in a similar wireless gaming mouse with a truly ambidextrous design that features a pair of buttons on both sides, check out the Keychron M1 Wireless.
This mouse has excellent click latency. There's a very slight amount of variation, but it follows a very predictable pattern and only ranges by a few milliseconds. This variation is imperceptible during actual use and this mouse provides a very responsive feeling in-game.
The GLORIOUS BAMF sensor has a very wide CPI range that you can adjust in small increments. Lastly, you can adjust its polling rate from 125Hz, 250Hz, 500Hz, or 1000Hz.
The scroll wheel is simple and each notch is well-defined. There aren't any rattling or wobbling issues. Sadly, it can't be unlocked for infinite scrolling.
The GLORIOUS Core software offers great features, but it's only available on Windows. You can customize any of the mouse's settings, including the RGB lighting. It has onboard memory, so you can easily keep your settings when moving to another computer.
