Testing the mouse

Testing the mouse

Reviewing a mouse is a bit tricky (almost like with audio devices). Normally I use a Logitech G903 (which is wireless), and you have to remember that I have very big palms. To be honest, I liked the experience with the MODEL O. It is super-light (68g), but good enough for my hands, and should be more than satisfying for most users. The design works well here.

As you can see, the average polling rate (1000 Hz) is stable and stays close to the value that the manufacturer declares.

For gaming tests, I’ve used:

  • PUBG,
  • Battlefield 1,
  • and Call of Duty: WW2

These games require not only patience but also the precision of movement. The Glorious MODEL O did very well in all cases. Movements register instantly. In comparison with many devices equipped with different sensors, they are very sharp and expressive. We did not encounter any undesirable phenomena (such as the pointer moving by itself) in the tests or when gaming. In Battlefield 1, I was able to quickly get used to the Model O’s shape and weight, with this nimble mouse happy to be thrown around for both flick-shots and controlled movement. Roaming around the map was butter-smooth, and navigating enemy soldiers into my crosshairs was simple. 
The Model O doesn’t have interpolation across the entire range of supported resolutions, up to 12,000 DPI.

This mouse follows a very minimalist, ambidextrous design with side buttons on the left side only, so it will fit right-handed users best. Immediately noticeable is that it's covered with holes—if you suffer from trypanophobia, the Model O probably won't be your best friend. The universal palm-claw shape should fit the needs of most users. The main buttons are very crispy, fast, and springy thanks to Omron. The side buttons are easily reachable, and they are pressed with little resistance, with deep travel and a moderately expressive click. DPI selection works nice. The mouse is very responsive and does the things you “order” it to. It’s a good one, especially considering the price range. The buttons are positioned correctly, and the placement is not tiresome for the palm.
