Our Verdict

GLORIOUS Model O

Razer Basilisk Essential

The GLORIOUS Model O is an excellent ultra-light gaming mouse, while the Razer Basilisk Essential is a decent FPS gaming mouse. The GLORIOUS has a honeycomb design, making it a better option for fans of ultra-light gaming mice. It has an ambidextrous shape with two side buttons, smoother-gliding mouse feet, and a better quality cable. On the other hand, the Razer is a right-handed mouse with a thumb rest and a dedicated sniper paddle. While the GLORIOUS has a higher maximum CPI and a lower lift-off distance, the Razer has a lower minimum CPI.
