Glorious PC Gaming Race Model D unboxing

The Glorious PC Gaming Race Model D comes to us presented in a box-style case with the brand's familiar combination of black and white. On its cover there is not an image of the mouse, but an infographic view of its upper plane with the characteristic honeycomb cells visible. In addition to the logo of the brand and model, a seal certifies us which variant within it we have acquired, in this case the Model D White Matte of 68 grams.

On the sides we find information on the official website of the brand as well as highlights of this range of mice:

• Extremely light gaming mouse Cable Ascended Surfers G-Skates

The reverse, meanwhile, gives us much more information. A technical sheet like the one presented at the beginning of the review, a diagram with the dimensions of the product and a description of its strengths.

Once we remove the seal and open the box, our new mouse receives us from the beginning, secured inside a plastic structure that hides some more extras.

Glorious PC Gaming Race Model D design

Model D range in matte and glossy finish

The Model D is one of the three ranges of mice that Glorious PC Gaming Race offers. It is characterized by offering black and white models with two finishing alternatives : matte and glossy.

Structure

For this analysis we have received the matt white variant. The first thing that has always stood out about the mice of this brand is its die-cut design with perforations of hexagonal structure. This is a factor that has not only become a brand of the house, but also contributes to weight reduction thanks to the elimination of material.

From its top view it is noticeable that both main mouse buttons are made up of separate pieces. Although the overall design of the Glorious PC Gaming Race Model D may seem ambidextrous, the truth is that it is a model with a very subtle right-handed form factor, noticeable by the slight heeling curvature towards the right side of the mouse.

On the sides we do not have any type of fluted structure or non-slip rubber. The material is identical to that of its top cover except that the perforations are ignored. We understand that this is a negative aspect for some users, although in its defense we must note that the finish of the plastic is not slimy nor does it make us feel that our fingers are going to slide over it as easily as in the glossy models.

The only noticeable detail in both cases is the LED band for backlight and screen printing of the Glorious brand in silver gray. On the left side, meanwhile, we have the Glorious logo as well as the auxiliary buttons.

Switches and buttons

The main switches used in the Glorious PC Gaming Race are Omron (mechanical), offering an estimated durability of twenty million clicks.

The total separation of M1 and M2 into separate pieces is accompanied by the central button for rotation of the active DPI. Both this button and the M4 and M5 auxiliaries have a shiny, polished black finish that is very soft to the touch. By default its elevation on the structure is only 1 mm, being subtle to the eye but palpable when moving your finger on it.

Later we have the scroll wheel integrated into the central structure. This button has a fluted texture with elevations covered (this time yes) in non-slip rubber. On both sides there are two separate LED rings for the corresponding backlight.

Finally, the auxiliary buttons M4 and M5 have a very similar shape and dimensions. Both follow the curvature marked by the LED strip and have a small space between them. However in this area neither of the two buttons has a central depression or mark that serves as a tactile support when it comes to noticing the passage between one and the other.

Turning to the reverse, this is where the mouse form factor is most appreciated. We have a total of four surfers made of 100% PTFE (Teflon), this choice of material being responsible for its amazing low surface friction rate.

In the central area, meanwhile, we have a window to the integrated sensor, which in this case is a Pixart PMW 3360. Right next to it we have an active DPI information LED accompanied by the Glorious PC Gaming Race imager.

The wire

The last wonder that we are going to comment on the physical aspects of the Glorious PC Gaming Race Model D is its cable. The Ascended Cord is a format designed by the brand, it is an ultra-flexible and super light braided model that practically makes us forget that it is a wired model.

With a total length of two meters, this cable reduces drag and friction that its presence usually causes users. Its connection point to the Glorious PC Gaming Race Model D is located right in the front center area and features PVC reinforcement. This same reinforcement is present in the USB type A connection of the cable, to which they have added the detail of the mustard-colored tongue of the brand.

Putting Glorious PC Gaming Race Model D into use

It is time to give a little warmth to this featherweight of mice. In the Glorious PC Gaming Race family of mice, there are two determining factors within each range: dimensions and weight. We have used the Model D for practically everything daily for about a week and it has left us with a very good taste.

If later on you do not think that the Model D fits your needs but you like the type of design and characteristics of the range, remember that you can choose your alternatives: Model O and Model O-.

Ergonomics

To start talking about ergonomics, the main thing would be to mention its dimensions and that is that the Glorious PC Gaming Race are a team that carefully monitors this in all their models. Generally, in the case of mice, the factor that we must watch the most in their measurements is the length to ensure that it is not too big or small with respect to our hand.

The Glorious PC Gaming Race Model D is 12.8cm in length, making it ideal for medium-sized hands (over 17cm in length). The grip of the M4 and M5 auxiliary buttons is just under the center of our thumb, which guarantees easy access to them. M1 and M2 for their part can be activated even right at the birth of the button, so it will be difficult for them to fail us at the worst time.

Accompanying the right-handed form factor and dimensions is the issue of grip. In the case of the Glorious PC Gaming Race Model D , the hump is slightly advanced from its central point, so the grip that is most favored is the claw hold. This is understandable since it is the most popular among players looking for precision, although we must tell you that our hand also fits very well with a palmar grip.

Something that we should note is that the maximum width of the mouse can be somewhat narrow for thick hands, but users of small hands or thin fingers have a great ally here.

Sensitivity, acceleration and DPI test

The Glorious PC Gaming Race Model D features a Pixart 3360 optical sensor. It is characterized by having zero mouse acceleration, 12, 000 DPI and 250 IPS.

• Acceleration: although on the official website of the Glorious PC Gaming Race it is specified that the Model D is a mouse with zero acceleration, the truth is that the Pixart 3360 sensor has 50g by default. Pixel Skipping: A 250 IPS screen reliability index is not the highest on the market compared to more recent models, but it does provide some security. We have not observed any incidence in this section. Tracking: the tracking that we can perform on screen targets or in their displacement is very fluid with the Model D. This effect is optimized for its 1000Hz polling rate, which guarantees a response rate of 1ms. Performance on surfaces: due to the PTFE surfers we can find in the Model D a double-edged sword. On the one hand, in cloth mats we gain a lot in agility since their friction rate is lower than in conventional surfers, but if we instead use rigid plastic mats we can lose precision in exchange for that increase in speed. This effect is expanded if we add the second set of sliders included in the box, so that from the outset it is a mouse that we recommend starting using on a cloth mat until you manage it.

RGB lighting

We know that the lights are just one more aspect to value when buying a new mouse, but if you are fans of disco party mode with the air of Fiber Saturday Night , look no further: the Glorious PC Gaming Race Model D is yours mouse.

To be honest it is not that the Model D lights up more than the rest of the brand's companions, the secret is in the cavities. The honeycomb structure of these mice leaves “the guts” fully visible and these are included in the party with the RGB backlight.

This factor, together with the maximum intensity reached by the side LED bands and scroll button rings make the Glorious PC Gaming Race Model D a complete visual spectacle. If we add to all this the lighting modalities available in the software, there is nothing more to add. 10/10.

software

Every mouse worth its salt is accompanied by up-to-date software, and the Glorious PC Gaming Race Model D is no exception. The program that we can download for it on the official page has a simplified and direct interface that gives you all the configuration options from the first moment .

On the left we have the breakdown of functions of the six configurable buttons as well as the macro editor just below. In the lower corner, the profile slot to be programmed is visible (a total of three natives) as well as options to delete, modify or change their names.

On the right hand side is where the specific configuration panels are displayed that we can distinguish in the following categories:

• DPI Settings: Regulates the DPI allocation as well as its assigned color. The software allows us to set the DPI at 100 point intervals in a total of six maximum profiles. Illumination: sets the mode, direction and speed of the chosen pattern. Some of its modalities allow you to manually choose the color or colors of the pattern. Mouse Parameters: Regulates the maximum detection distance at which the mouse continues to react to our movements when we lift it from the mat. Refresh rate: variable from 125Hz to a maximum of 1000Hz. Click latency: It is an advanced quality that regulates the delay in the response of the click once pressed. Our recommendation is not to modify this property without prior reading of its effects.

Final words and conclusions about Glorious PC Gaming Race Model D

Glorious PC Gaming Race is a brand that in a matter of mice always bets on lightness and ergonomics. Its models are very attractive not only in lighting but also in design matters. The rise of E-Sports has made the most frenzied gamers go for lighter weight models that not only decrease fatigue in use but also the speed at which they can respond when necessary.

For many users, the weight of a mouse is also a contribution to stability and precision, but this is an issue that we can adapt to with its use and that our wrists can thank us a lot over time. The Model D is an unpretentious mouse, with a Pixart 3360 sensor recognized as one of the best optical sensors on the gaming market and featuring direct and efficient configuration software.

We recommend reading: Best mice on the market.

The Model D is not the lightest (68g) in the Glorious PC Gaming Race range of mice, the Model O- holding that position worldwide. (58g), but it is within its range of dimensions. The rest of the mice in the range have slightly smaller dimensions that can be somewhat fair to bulky hands, making it an excellent candidate for users who want to make the move to ultralight.

Another issue to highlight is the quality / price ratio of the brand, being one of the cheapest in this specific sector (ultralight mice) taking into account the benefits it offers. We can find the Glorious PC Gaming Race Model D for sale for approximately € 45 (matte) or glossy (€ 54). From our personal experience with the Model O we recommend choosing the matte finish not only for its price but also because the grip it offers is more secure as it is a less polished surface, although this is also a matter of taste.
