I’ve been looking for a mouse with a similar shape to the endgame op1w / g-pro with 3-5 side buttons and the ability to drag click. I don’t want a 12 side button mouse, and cant use Logitech or razer as I need to be able to edit my debounce time for drag clicking. I started on a g502 and have now moved to a glorious model I 2 wireless, the software is so bad and the sensor occasionally glitches out (has happened on all 3 I’ve had). Does anyone know if there’s a mouse that fits my needs? can i commission a business or someone to customize a mouse for me? The picture is exactly what I want.

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.

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.
