Recently, we saw the launch of the Glorious GMMK Pro pre-built mechanical keyboard, and now, the team is moving to expand its mouse line-up. Joining the already popular Model O and Model D mice is the new Glorious Model I, complete with replaceable magnetic side buttons and the Glorious BAMF optical sensor.

The Glorious Model I is designed for right-handed users, as you can probably tell from the shape. One of the key features of this mouse is the replaceable magnetic buttons. The replacement buttons allow users to choose between different shapes, or 3D print their own designs for thumb buttons, adding a new level of customisation that we have not seen many times before.

The Model I uses the Glorious BAMF Sensor, offering between 100-1900 DPI, with four default DPI settings that are switchable via the DPI toggle on the mouse. The LED strip on the mouse will light up with a different colour based on the DPI profile being used. At default, the Model I is set up to flash yellow for 400 DPI, blue for 800 DPI, red for 1600 DPI and green for 3200 DPI. The mouse also offers max tracking speed of 400 IPS, 50G acceleration and has a minimum lift-off distance of 1mm.

Included with the mouse is the Glorious Ascended Cord, a different mouse cable designed to reduce cable drag and resistance. There is also a 3-zone RGB strip along the side of the mouse, which you'll be familiar with if you've used other mice from Glorious. The mouse also weighs in at 69g, in keeping with the ultra lightweight focus of other Glorious mice.

The Glorious Model I will be available through Overclockers UK soon for £59.99. There are also several accessories available separately, including the Glorious GSkates, a replacement button kit and grip tape. The Glorious Mouse Bungee is also available separately is you want to eliminate cable drag entirely, or just tidy up the cables on your desk.

The pre-built Glorious PC Gaming Race GMMK Pro customisable mechanical keyboard is making its way over to the UK. As of today, the GMMK Pro is available, ready to go right out of the box, while also offering a hot swap design so users can customise the keyboard as they see fit.

Glorious already offers a barebones keyboard and sets of switches and keycaps. This GMMK Pro is pre-built, so the keyboard comes fully set up out of the box, but if you want to make changes later, you still can thanks to the hot-swap switches. This keyboard comes with a 75% layout, or TKL-sized, making it a great fit for any desk and helps save on space.

The GMMK Pro Pre-built features 86 keys with a programmable rotatory encoder. The keyboard uses the new Glorious Fox Linear Mechanical switches which feature a 5-pin hot swap PCB, so you can easily swap the switches out, as well as a south facing LED for per-key backlighting. As you would expect, these LEDs are RGB, so you can customise your keyboard with many different colour variations through the Glorious CORE software.

Compatible for both Windows and Mac, the GMMK Pro Pre-built includes four additional Mac keycaps (2x CMD and 2x Option), as well as a yellow Glorious logo cap that can be used to replace the Esc key. In the box, you'll also find a keycap puller, a switch puller, a padded wrist rest and a 6ft long USB Type-C cable.

The pre-built Glorious GMMK Pro keyboard is available to pre-order via Overclockers UK for £319.99. The barebones version costs £165.95, but you'll have to pay extra for switches and keycaps.

KitGuru Says: We've seen some high-end gaming keyboards over the years, but many of them don't offer the same customisability as this. What do you all think of the GMMK Pro?

After bursting onto the gaming mouse scene with the popular Model O, today sees the Glorious PC Gaming Race Model D Wireless heading to pre-orders, boasting a light-weight design and long-lasting battery life. 

The Model D Wireless retains the same comfortable shape as the standard Model D, providing excellent support for palm and claw grip for right-handed users. Making the jump to being wireless hasn't impacted weight too much either, with the Model D Wireless coming in at just 69g, while the battery is rated to last up to 71 hours on a single charge.

For a dash of customisation, there are RGB LEDs running along the edge of the mouse and on the mouse wheel. Under the hood, you'll find a high performance “BANF” sensor, designed in partnership with Pixart and using 2.4GHz wireless connectivity for lag-free usage.

The Model D Wireless also includes G-Skates under the mouse for smooth gliding across surfaces. In the box, you'll find an extender dongle and a wireless dongle, as well as one of Glorious' ‘Ascended Cord' USB-C cables, designed to reduce cable drag, while also providing speedy charging to the mouse.

The Glorious PC Gaming Race Model D Wireless is available to pre-order now in matte black and matte white via Overclockers UK. Here in the UK, it will cost the same as the Model O Wireless – £81.95.

KitGuru Says: The Model D Wireless is looking great on paper, hopefully we'll have a chance to check it our first hand soon. Have any of you been waiting on this mouse?

Glorious PC Gaming Race caused a stir in the gaming mouse market with the release of the Model O, an affordable, very lightweight gaming mouse. Now later this year, the Model O is going wireless. 

Following what the company describes as an “extensive research and development process”, the Glorious Model O Wireless is finally ready for prime time, aiming to be a “perfectly designed wireless mouse specifically for PC gamers”.

The Model O wireless weighs in at just 69 grams, which is not far off the weight of the wired model. It also comes with an all new BAMF sensor, which offers up to 19,000 DPI with a tracking speed of 400.

According to the company's own early internal tests, the Glorious Model O wireless offers the lowest latency amongst top-tier wireless gaming mice. Battery life is also supposed to last 71 hours before requiring a charge. The Glorious Model O Wireless will be available this year for $79.99. UK pricing and availability details should come a bit later.

KitGuru Says: Did many of you buy the original Model O when it came out? Would you consider getting a wireless version?

Glorious Model D gaming mouse arrives in December as an ergonomic alternative to the Model O https://www.kitguru.net/peripherals/mouse/matthew-wilson/glorious-model-d-gaming-mouse-arrives-in-december-as-an-ergonomic-alternative-to-the-model-o/ https://www.kitguru.net/peripherals/mouse/matthew-wilson/glorious-model-d-gaming-mouse-arrives-in-december-as-an-ergonomic-alternative-to-the-model-o/#respond Thu, 31 Oct 2019 14:43:26 +0000 https://www.kitguru.net/?p=433450 Glorious PC Gaming Race has made a significant impression on mouse and keyboard enthusiasts over the last year.

Glorious PC Gaming Race has made a significant impression on mouse and keyboard enthusiasts over the last year. The ball got rolling with the Model O, a sensibly priced take on ambidextrous RGB gaming mice with a sleek design, reduced weight and a custom cable to retain flexibility while reducing common issues like cable drag. Now as we get close to wrapping up the year, it looks like the Glorious Model D mouse is close to launch, bringing an ergonomic frame option to the lineup. 

As with the Model O and Model O-, the Model D will use a honeycomb shell to reduce weight, bringing the mouse to under 69g, with matte or glossy options available depending on preference.

While this is a ergonomic mouse with more room for your thumb to rest on the side of the mouse, the Model D will still be minimalist in terms of buttons, sticking with two additional buttons on the side for custom controls. Of course, when you are trying to make a range of the world's lightest gaming mice, a minimalist approach is essential as every component matters and needs to be thoughtfully considered alongside other features.

The Glorious PC Gaming Race Model D will be launching in December 2019, hitting the same $49.99 price tag as the Model O. We should get confirmation on the sensor, button switches and other specs closer to the time as the design gets finalised and put into production.

The Model D is the second of four planned mice, so there are still two more on the way that will focus on other body types. Ambidextrous and Ergonomic are now done, so the next two have potential to be particularly niche and interesting.

Discuss on our Facebook page, HERE.

KitGuru Says: The Model D looks very tempting as I've always had a slight preference for ergonomic over ambidextrous. Looking ahead though, I am particularly looking forward to seeing the next two mice. If we're getting one new model per grip type, then the two most popular options are now sorted. Perhaps we'll see a slim but slightly longer mouse next year for fingertip grip users.

The post Glorious Modular Mechanical Keyboard – any good? first appeared on KitGuru.]]>
I've always wanted to try building and customising my own mechanical keyboard but I don't feel ready to pick up a soldering iron and mess around with a PCB. However, in the form of the Glorious PC Gaming Race GMMK I may have found a decent place to start.

Glorious PC Gaming Race has been working on its own peripherals for a while now. We've already seen the launch of the fully customisable mechanical keyboard and now, the Model O Gaming Mouse is heading our way.

The Model O is designed based off of suggestions from the PC gaming community. It is fairly minimalist in appearance, with sleek RGB LED strips down the sides of the mouse, two side buttons, a DPI toggle and hex cutouts across the body to cut down on weight. By using the honeycomb design, the mouse weight is cut down to just 67g, making it one of the lightest around.

Other features include a Pixart 3360 sensor with a 1ms polling rate and 0.7mm lift-off distance, ‘G-skate' feet underneath for additional surface grip, a 2-meter braided cable and up to 12,000 DPI sensitivity.

Here is the spec sheet:

  • Ultra lightweight honeycomb design coming in at just 67g.
  • Proprietary 2.0m Ascend Cord braided cable .
  • G-Skate Feet made of 100% Virgin PTFE material, rounded edges and 0.81mm thickness.
  • Customisable DPI Indicator with dedicated software and 400 / 800 / 3200 default settings with a maximum DPI of 12,000 DPI.
  • Pixart 3360 Sensor with 1000Hz polling rate (1ms) and 0.7mm life-off distance.
  • Available in both Black and White with matt or gloss finish.
  • Fully customisable RGB lighting controllable via optional software.

The Model O comes with its own software so you can adjust DPI, save different profiles and customise the RGB lighting. Here, in the UK, you'll be able to get the black or white, glossy or matte versions through Overclockers UK, with prices starting at £49.99.

KitGuru Says: I'm looking forward to getting my hands on one of these myself. The Mamba-like RGB strips along the sides look very nice and the price seems very sensible. Are any of you currently looking to get a new mouse? What do you think of the Model O?
