Our Verdict
GLORIOUS Model D
HP OMEN Photon
The GLORIOUS Model D is an excellent wired gaming mouse, while the HP OMEN Photon is a good wireless gaming mouse with modular pieces that can transform the mouse into one more suitable for right or left-handed use. The GLORIOUS is significantly lighter and has mouse feet that glide more smoothly. It also has lower click latency, and the software doesn't require you to create an online account to adjust settings as it does with the HP. On the other hand, the HP feels sturdier. It has a thumb and pinky rest and up to 11 buttons depending on which modular pieces you install. Performance-wise, it has a wider CPI range, a more consistent sensor, and a lower lift-off distance.
