Glorious Gaming Model O Wireless - Matte White

Glorious Model O- Mouse As a longtime user of Glorious products, the Glorious Model O- Mouse was my third purchase from their lineup. Initially, I was drawn to it by its lightweight design and ergonomic feel, which are standout features that make the mouse highly comfortable for extended gaming sessions. The aesthetics are sleek and modern, appealing to those who appreciate a visually pleasing setup. However, the honeymoon period was short-lived. Within three months, I began to encounter performance issues that were impossible to ignore. The left-click started to exhibit signs of double-clicking, and the overall responsiveness seemed to deteriorate. This rapid decline in functionality was highly disappointing, especially considering the premium price point. Glorious GMMK 2-65 Percent Keyboard Following my positive experience with the mouse's initial feel, I decided to try the Glorious GMMK 2-65 Percent Keyboard. This was my second keyboard purchase from Glorious. The keyboard's build quality is solid, and the mechanical switches provide a satisfying tactile feedback that is ideal for both gaming and typing. Unfortunately, similar to the mouse, the keyboard also began to show issues within three months. Keypresses became inconsistent, with some keys failing to register intermittently. This level of unreliability is unacceptable, particularly for a product marketed towards gamers who demand precision and consistency. Software Experience One of the most significant letdowns with both the mouse and keyboard is the Glorious software. It is severely lacking in functionality compared to competitors. Macros are limited to just three profiles, which is incredibly restrictive for users who need more customization options. Additionally, the overall settings are sparse and do not offer the depth of configuration that one would expect. Even the outdated Logitech G502 software outperforms Glorious's offering by a considerable margin. Customer Service and Return Policy Adding to the frustration is the poor customer service and restrictive return policies. Amazon will not accept returns after a certain period, and Glorious themselves only offer returns within 45 days of purchase. Given the issues began around the three-month mark, this policy feels inadequate and leaves customers without recourse. Conclusion In conclusion, while the Glorious Model O- Mouse and GMMK 2-65 Percent Keyboard initially impress with their design and feel, the longevity and software severely disappoint. With performance issues cropping up within months and lackluster software support, these products do not offer the reliability or value one would expect. Combined with subpar customer service and restrictive return policies, it's challenging to recommend Glorious products at this time. If you're in the market for reliable gaming peripherals, it might be wise to explore other brands.
