Our Verdict
GLORIOUS Model D
Finalmouse Starlight-12 Medium
The GLORIOUS Model D is an excellent wired ultra-light gaming mouse, while the Finalmouse Starlight-12 Medium is a remarkable wireless ultra-light gaming mouse. The Finalmouse is much lighter and feels sturdier. It connects either wired or wirelessly with its USB receiver, and it has a lower minimum lift-off distance. Unfortunately, it only has four CPI presets and lacks customization software. Comparatively, the GLORIOUS has a much higher maximum CPI, a CPI you can adjust by increments of 100, lower click latency, RGB lighting, and customization software for Windows. Both mice are well-suited for all grip types and most hand sizes.
