Our Verdict

GLORIOUS Model O

BenQ ZOWIE S1

The GLORIOUS Model O is a better wired gaming mouse than the BenQ ZOWIE S1. The GLORIOUS is significantly lighter, has a much more flexible cable, and better mouse feet. It also has somewhat lower click latency, a lower lift-off distance, and companion software for customization compatible with Windows. It's well-suited for all grip types, mostly for medium to large-sized hands. The BenQ is well-suited for palm grip for all hand sizes and a claw or fingertip grip for larger hands.
