Glorious - Model I 2 Ultralight Wireless Gaming Mouse

If you want maximum longevity, you should stay away from Logitech, Razer, Steelseries, HyperX, Corsair, and Redragon, since their softwares are required to run their mice, and when they stop updating the drivers for your model it will stop working the next windows update. Additionally these brands also thin out the shells in highly stressed components in order to ensure they break after approximately 2 years of use. All these brands get money through a resale-scheme, by making you have to constantly buy a new product from them. My recommendations are from brands that are still small and growing (so they're economically incentivised to make good, reliable products and ensure they have good software support, even if they drop software support for later models, since people will most commonly look at their original products to gauge reliability). These brands are still gaining customer loyalty and as such will happily help you with any problems you face and have already designed their products to last as long as possible. If you wanna try vertical mice: The Hansker performance vertical mouse is shipped from Germany (if memory serves me correctly)and so should be relatively easy to post to India. The Keychron M5 is also worth a try since they have multiple European stores and warehouses. The swiftpoint Ergo-point is American unfortunately so I don't think you could source one easily. For standard ergonomic mice: Kysona Uranus Pro copies the tried and true Roccat Kone shape, it's cheap, built like a tank, and is amazing for palm grip. Keychron M7 (not the M6, the M6 has a design flaw in the sensor that makes it behave unexpectedly). Dareu A980. Glorious Model i 2 (the model i 1 has issues don't get it). Roccat/Turtle Beach kone XP air (discontinued, but there is still old stock floating around). These mice should all be fairly easy to source and relatively cheap (and most importantly, they're all built to last and their software isn't required to run to keep the mouse working, so you don't have to worry about software obsolescence thankfully, most actually can use browser-based software, meaning you open up safari or chrome or edge, open up the website, and then the website talks directly to the mouse and tells it what settings to change, no need to even download a software).

I like the shape and build quality of both Glorious Model I and I 2. The software "Glorious Core" is very simple and lacking in the macro department. Those are important to me and I use G Hub's macro options all the time. Many chinese brands have better software, even driver based where you don't have to install nothing.

I present to you the Turtle Beach/Kone XP Air I recently decided I needed a better mouse, specifically for Deadlock, and set out to replace my Razer Basilisk v3 (a great mouse in its own right). I wanted more buttons on the side to map items because I really try to keep my fingers on WASD at all times. I ordered a handful of mice, looking for mice with additional side buttons that were NOT mmo mice. I landed on the Steel Series Aerox 5, Glorious Model I 2, and the TB/Kone XP Air. I looked at the Corsair Nightsword, ROG Spatha and ROG Chakram X, but decided not to pull the trigger on them for various reasons. The Aerox 5 was an instant no. It has this weird whammy bar on the side that you flick up and down (like the guitar hero controller) that looked neat in theory, but it was really stiff and hard to use in practice. The Glorious Model I 2 was amazing and I almost kept it. The buttons are easy to reach with your thumb and it has multiple swappable buttons if you want different shapes. The m1 click action was very crisp and its also very light. I loved it. But then I got the XP Air. This mouse has some drawbacks. The M1 click action stinks, it's gummy with long travel distance and it feels bad. It's heavy at 100 grams. But the buttons, oh my lord the buttons. The side array is so perfect for items/skills with the quad button layout and the thumb rest button is literally the game breaker and why I bought it. **I mapped the thumb rest button to parry and I am able to parry/counterspell literally everything.** If you are looking for a better experience with using your active items, I strongly strongly recommend the XP Air. Deadlock isn't a twitch shooter, so the gummy M1 isn't as big a deal as it would be in COD or Battlefield (and I used it during both battlefield weekends and the side buttons were amazing there too). If you can't get over the gummy M1, and you think it's too heavy, then the Model I 2 is a really amazing runner up. My next plan is to mod the XP Air with a lighter battery and to remove some of the plastic guts with a Dremel. I've seen guides online where you can get it down to about 70 grams. That's all, thanks for coming to my TED talk.

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.

I have a Glorious Model I in white and I love it, for me the G502 is heavier than I prefer

I don’t really get why you’re getting downvoted here, I’m the same way. I bought the Model O 2, then right after bought the Superlight 2. Partially bc the battery life on the Model O 2 is terrible, but also because I just like trying new things.

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.

As someone who mained the basilisk v3 for a couple years with a similar hand size… if you really love the shape basilisk v3, I’d say go with the glorious I 2… that said I experimented with other shapes and weights and I love the pulsars xlite v3/4 size 2, deathadder v3 hyperspeed(this version fits our hand size better) and the scyrox v8.

Glorious model i 2 is my fav https://a.co/d/hd9yM4z
