Are you using a Model I 2? I ordered one at the same time as the XP Air but ultimately sent the glorious back. I LOVED the way it felt, it's so light and the buttons are very well placed, but the XP Air just had more buttons to work with and more flexibility. The I 2 is an awesome mouse tho.
Yes, and it's one of the only remotely "modern" mice to have more than 2 side buttons if not counting Logitech's G502 series and similar mice. Glorious isn't worth being in any discussion since their shit isn't even worth getting for free.
If wanting modern "lightweight" though, yea that don't exist LMAO.
I'll bite and say the i series Glorious has is pretty much the only relevant product they have considering what else they have there's at least a couple of alternatives in every price level conceivable, like their keyboards, their O and D series mice, their mousepads, etc. Even still, it's their QC long-term that sucks, and Glorious has been the only products I've ever owned that lasted less than 6 months before breaking catastrophically, including multiple button failures.
I used a Steelseries Rival 600 since its launch in 2018 until like a month ago when i bought a Glorious Model I 2. Had no issues just wanted to try something new. Gonna refurb the Rival, already have grips and skates just waiting on switches to arrive.
I switched from a Rival 600 which is esentially just a wired 650 to a Glorious Model i2 and i havent regretted it. Tried the Aerox 5 but i returned it because one of the mouse buttons started rattling after 3 days of use.
Title.
I've been using a Glorious model I2 for a little under a year now.. And I must admit each passing day I regret it more and more. First, the software is basically useless, doesn't work, switching profiles is a nightmare, have to switch to legacy one. RBG ? 4 out of 5 times my mouse is dead when booting my PC, I have to replug the mouse.. Dirt ? There are holes everywhere this is a nightmare.
But.. The mousse is really light, great cable material (paracord), and 9 programmable buttons.
So, I'm in need of a reliable, quality product, with durable switches and scroll wheel, WIRED, and at least a similar number of buttons. And a decent software not eating half my computer resources would be great.
So far the only alternative I found is the G502 X Plus but I'm afraid of it's weight and durability (and software). Rubber thing on the mouse, and scroll wheel mainly..
Recommendations will be appreciated !
Hey, thanks for the reply. I checked a little bit the Kone XP Air and I must admit I rarely find a mouse with such a bad reputation. Everything about this mouse seems of poor quality, with systematic scroll wheel issues under 6 months. It's a shame since I really liked the design, it would have been a really great mouse if not for the catastrophic build quality.
My G502x lasted fairly well until the rubbery bit of the wheel came off, and then it was a tiresome pain in the ass to fix, fucking watchmaker horseshit. I personally might recommend a I2 if you like that style of mouse, the internals are much more practical to fix and the optical wheel really didn't add that much, comparing the two.
The glorious I2 also is gonna be MUUUCH more practical to fix when it goes wrong, between the internal arch and using an oldschool mechanical wheel. Of the options there I'd strongly recommend it over anything else, but I am strongly biased toward ease of repair.
