Our Verdict

GLORIOUS Model D

Cooler Master MM831

The GLORIOUS Model D has better performance than the Cooler Master MM831, but the Cooler Master is more versatile. It can be used wired or wirelessly either with its USB receiver or Bluetooth. It also feels sturdier, has a wider CPI range, and a lower lift-off distance. On the other hand, The GLORIOUS D is a wired-only mouse that's significantly lighter. It has a much more flexible cable, smoother gliding mouse feet, and significantly lower click latency. Both mice are well-suited for all grip types and most hand sizes.
