Our Verdict
GLORIOUS Model D
Finalmouse Starlight-12 Poseidon Small
The GLORIOUS Model D and the Finalmouse Starlight-12 Poseidon Small are both light-weight gaming mice with some key differences. The GLORIOUS is a wired-only model with a slightly larger, right-handed shape. Also, it has companion software, meaning you can customize the settings. On the other hand, the Finalmouse is a symmetrical, wireless gaming mouse with a small shape. It has a significantly better build quality thanks to its magnesium alloy outer shell. Also, its latency is slightly better, and it's 24g lighter than the GLORIOUS.
