Our Verdict
GLORIOUS Model D
SteelSeries Prime+
The GLORIOUS Model D and the SteelSeries Prime+ are both impressive, wired gaming mice. The SteelSeries feels sturdier and has a detachable cable. It also has a wider CPI range, a lower lift-off distance, customization software for Windows and macOS, and an OLED screen on the bottom for making on-the-fly settings adjustments without the software. On the other hand, the GLORIOUS has a more flexible cable, mouse feet that glide more smoothly, and a much lower click latency. Unfortunately, its software is only compatible with Windows. Both mice are well-suited for all grip types and nearly all hand sizes.
