Our Verdict

ROCCAT Kone Pro Air

GLORIOUS Model D Wireless

The ROCCAT Kone Pro Air and the GLORIOUS Model D Wireless are both excellent wireless gaming mice offering comparable performance. The ROCCAT feels sturdier and has a thumb rest, and you can assign an Easy-Shift[+] using the customization software to enable a second layer of commands. Also, it supports Bluetooth, a feature the GLORIOUS lacks. On the other hand, the GLORIOUS is marginally lighter.
