Our Verdict

GLORIOUS Model D

Marsback Zephyr RGB

The GLORIOUS Model D is a better wired gaming mouse than the Marsback Zephyr RGB. The GLORIOUS is lighter and has mouse feet that glide more smoothly. It also has a lower click latency, an adjustable CPI, and customization software, which the Marsback lacks. On the other hand, the Marsback feels sturdier and has an internal fan designed to keep your hand cool and dry. It also has a wider CPI range and a lower lift-off distance, but it only has six preset CPI settings. Both mice are suitable for all grip types and most hand sizes.
