The Glorious Model O 2 Wireless is the value pick of this group: a ~68g symmetrical lightweight that RTINGS calls 'an excellent FPS gaming mouse overall' with 'superb tracking accuracy.' Tom's Guide summed it up as 'glorious by name, glorious by nature,' a 'gorgeous high-performing wireless mouse, with only a few shortcomings,' and the right choice under $100. It gives up some competitive-grade click latency and high polling versus the pricier Razer and Logitech flagships, but for most players it delivers 90% of the experience at two-thirds the price.

Lightweight Without Holes
The Model O 2 Wireless continues the lineage that made Glorious famous, but it ditches the honeycomb shell of the original for a solid body while still landing at roughly 68 grams. PC Gamer confirmed it 'feels nice and light in hand at 68g,' a figure that puts it competitive with mice costing far more. RTINGS, in its full review, praised the 'remarkable raw performance overall' and described the symmetrical shape as a safe, broadly comfortable design that suits palm, claw and fingertip grips. For players who found the holey originals off-putting, the solid-shell Model O 2 delivers the same low weight without the texture or hygiene concerns.
Sensor and Tracking Performance
Inside sits the BAMF 2.0 sensor, a tuned PixArt PAW3395 capable of 26,000 CPI and a 650 IPS maximum tracking speed. RTINGS measured 'superb tracking accuracy' and called the mouse 'an excellent FPS gaming mouse overall,' which is the headline result for a $100 wireless mouse. TechPowerUp's deep technical review reached a similar conclusion on raw sensor behavior, noting clean tracking with no smoothing or angle snapping artifacts. In practice the sensor is not the limiting factor — it tracks as cleanly as mice twice the price, and the differences only emerge in latency-sensitive competitive scenarios.
Reviewers also stress that the BAMF 2.0 is a fully modern flagship-class sensor rather than a budget part, which is part of why the Model O 2 Wireless punches above its price. TechPowerUp's testing found motion delay and tracking consistency competitive with the Razer and Logitech flagships in this guide, and PC Gamer noted it 'is super competitive compared to other wireless gaming mice' that cost $130-150. The practical upshot is that aim and tracking feel identical to a premium mouse; the only place the price shows is in the click-latency and polling-rate figures, not in how cleanly the cursor follows your hand.
Battery and Connectivity
Glorious rates the Model O 2 Wireless at up to 110 hours over its 2.4GHz dongle and up to 210 hours over Bluetooth 5.2 with lighting off, figures that comfortably outlast a typical week of play between charges. The mouse charges over USB-C and pairs over both 2.4GHz and Bluetooth, giving it more day-to-day versatility than the Bluetooth-less Razer flagships in this guide. The trade-off, which RTINGS flagged, is that the wireless click latency is higher than several competing mice at this price point, so the connectivity convenience comes with a small competitive penalty.
Buttons, Build and Software
The main buttons have been redesigned with framing ledges that locate your fingers and reduce side-to-side travel, and they use Glorious switches rated for 80 million clicks. Build quality is solid with no creak or flex in testing, and the Glorious Core software is widely regarded as clean and capable for remapping, CPI stages and lighting. Reviewers consistently note the package feels more premium than its price suggests. The one caveat is that the mouse ships at 1000Hz polling and does not include the 4K/8K HyperPolling dongle that the Razer Viper V3 Pro bundles.
Where It Falls Short
The Model O 2 Wireless is excellent value, but it is not a no-compromise esports tool. RTINGS specifically cautioned that it 'isn't well-suited for competitive play due to its wireless click latency being higher than many competing mice at this price point.' It also caps at 1000Hz polling out of the box, where the Razer Viper V3 Pro reaches 8000Hz, and Tom's Guide acknowledged 'a few shortcomings' even while recommending it. Players chasing the lowest possible latency and the highest polling rates for ranked FPS will feel the gap; everyone else likely will not.
Who It's Best For
Buy the Model O 2 Wireless if you want a light, accurate, comfortable symmetrical wireless mouse and you care about value. Tom's Guide put it plainly: 'if you're looking for a gaming mouse for under $100, this one would be the right choice.' It is ideal for casual and mid-level competitive players, for anyone stepping up from a wired or budget wireless mouse, and for those who want Bluetooth flexibility. Dedicated esports competitors who want the absolute lowest latency and 8000Hz polling should spend up for the Razer Viper V3 Pro or Logitech G Pro X Superlight 2 instead.
Strengths
- +Genuinely light at ~68g with a classic symmetrical safe-shape that fits most hands and grips
- +BAMF 2.0 (PixArt PAW3395) sensor delivers superb tracking accuracy and 26,000 CPI
- +Excellent value at $100 versus $150-160 flagship rivals
- +Long battery life — up to 110 hours over 2.4GHz, far longer over Bluetooth
- +Refined main buttons with framing ledges and 80-million-click switches
Watch-outs
- −Wireless click latency is higher than top competitive mice at this price
- −Only 1000Hz polling out of the box — no included 4K/8K dongle like the Razer flagships
- −Glorious software is solid but the hardware is merely good, not class-leading for esports
How it compares
The Model O 2 Wireless is the value champion of this lineup, undercutting the $150 Razer DeathAdder V3 Pro and the $160 Razer Viper V3 Pro and Logitech G Pro X Superlight 2 by $50-60. At ~68g it sits between the featherweight 54g Viper V3 Pro and the 60g G Pro X Superlight 2 on weight, but its wireless click latency and 1000Hz polling trail the Viper V3 Pro's 8000Hz HyperPolling, so it is the casual-and-value pick rather than the esports pick.
