WEBVTT 00:00.000 --> 00:06.640 Hello everyone and welcome to another Gamereactor Quick Look, I'm sure that you'll be joining 00:06.640 --> 00:13.280 me in a non-controversial statement I hope when I say that the market for sort of performance 00:13.280 --> 00:20.120 oriented mice are very saturated at the point where it's very difficult for us to find mice 00:20.120 --> 00:27.200 from Razer, from SteelSeries, from Corsair and find something that is truly awful. 00:27.200 --> 00:32.440 There is a lot that truly excel which does what it says on the tin essentially, so it's 00:32.440 --> 00:37.280 also very difficult for a semi-new manufacturer, at least in terms of what we've been taking 00:37.280 --> 00:42.360 a look at as a media, to come in and offer us something uniquely different. 00:42.360 --> 00:46.260 Glorious, this new manufacturer that we've started working with, does not do that. 00:46.260 --> 00:53.040 This is very by and large stuff you've seen before, but that does not mean that they aren't 00:53.040 --> 00:57.480 worth taking a look at or worth a purchase if you like what you see. 00:57.480 --> 01:02.480 Now I should stress right off the bat that they've sent us four mice and they are all 01:02.480 --> 01:10.000 very very similar to one another, but the way that you can see it is this, the O models 01:10.000 --> 01:18.080 are well more ergonomic in design essentially, or sort of the D, the D models are more ergonomic 01:18.080 --> 01:24.520 in design, and these O ones are sort of ultra-light, more claw-like in their grip and slightly 01:24.520 --> 01:29.840 smaller, but the way that they vary in terms of what kind of polling rate you can expect, 01:29.840 --> 01:35.000 what kind of weight you can expect, it is all very close to one another and I'm not 01:35.000 --> 01:38.000 sure that that was the right way to go. 01:38.000 --> 01:43.060 If you're struggling to differentiate your products, neither in design, these are perhaps 01:43.060 --> 01:47.600 the dullest mice that I think I've ever seen in my life, particularly in this price bracket 01:47.600 --> 01:52.160 because some of these are like 150 euros or something like that, so they're not cheap 01:52.160 --> 01:57.760 either, but there's no differentiating factors in the aesthetics dimension of it, which perhaps 01:57.760 --> 01:58.880 is a bit of a shame. 01:58.880 --> 02:06.080 I'm not saying make them full of flame accents and weird textures, but just something because 02:06.080 --> 02:14.960 this is just a matte black clamshell style, there is no rubbery side grips, it is just 02:14.960 --> 02:17.080 a black piece of plastic. 02:17.080 --> 02:21.240 It may be a very well-made black piece of plastic, but that does not change the fact 02:21.240 --> 02:26.080 that there's nothing that differentiate this from something much cheaper, at least on the 02:26.080 --> 02:29.140 aesthetic design-wise side of things. 02:29.140 --> 02:37.720 So in terms of, let's start with one of these, again, you can either go with D or O Pro and 02:37.720 --> 02:40.160 get something which is either claw grip or more ergonomic. 02:40.160 --> 02:45.400 This is obviously a tad more ergonomic, but I don't know if maybe I can show you, I don't 02:45.400 --> 02:51.400 know if these pictures show this properly, but you can definitely see that there is a 02:51.400 --> 02:58.360 more ergonomic left side for you to more naturally rest your thumb on the left side of the mouse, 02:58.360 --> 03:03.000 which we've seen from countless other mice also in the gaming space, or you can have 03:03.000 --> 03:08.320 something a little bit more smaller and more claw grip-like, but the point is that what 03:08.320 --> 03:14.560 you get, regardless of which one you get, is a mouse which weighs in at around, I think, 03:14.560 --> 03:20.920 either 57 grams for the lightest one and 62 grams for the heaviest one, so that is very 03:20.920 --> 03:24.200 close to one another, and very competitive as well, I should say. 03:24.200 --> 03:28.500 You get mechanical optical switches, which is nice, this is speed switches, and they 03:28.500 --> 03:33.200 are, do feel, very responsive, tactile, and speedy, so that's good. 03:33.200 --> 03:39.520 You get the BAMF 2.0 sensor, which gives you around 26,000 DPI, that is neither the 03:39.520 --> 03:45.040 best nor the worst, which I'm not sure is good or bad for Glorious, but it is definitely 03:45.040 --> 03:49.040 good, it's up there, 26,000 DPI is nothing to scoff at. 03:49.040 --> 03:53.760 It is wireless, but it's not wireless through Bluetooth, there is no Bluetooth on any of 03:53.760 --> 03:59.280 these models, which I do think is a missed opportunity, and the other thing that this 03:59.360 --> 04:04.960 does not have, it does not have a way to store the dongle inside the mouth shell as well, 04:04.960 --> 04:09.360 also, I think, very bad, and if we call that out when Razer do it, we have to call it out 04:09.360 --> 04:12.080 when Glorious does it. 04:12.080 --> 04:16.760 They're all wireless, which is great, and this, these, I think, it kind of varies a 04:16.760 --> 04:26.320 little bit, but 80 hours of use on a battery charge should be within range, within expectancy. 04:26.320 --> 04:30.960 You have a standard USB Type-C port to charge, and it's not sort of sculpted in a way that 04:30.960 --> 04:36.300 makes the cable that comes with every one of these proprietary, so that's really good. 04:36.300 --> 04:40.460 They range from, I think, 150 euros, again, to 120 euros, not cheap. 04:40.460 --> 04:47.360 The main differentiator, apart from what separates the D and O ones, are, well, whether or not 04:47.360 --> 04:51.640 you want a higher polling rate, because if we take something like this, well, this has 04:51.640 --> 04:55.800 either, it's a weird thing, we discussed it, maybe Glorious will be sending us an email 04:55.800 --> 05:02.160 after this explaining to us why it's very natural to do this, but these are more expensive 05:02.160 --> 05:08.760 because when you wire them by using a USB Type-C cable to connect to your computer, 05:08.760 --> 05:10.920 you unlock a higher polling rate. 05:10.920 --> 05:16.600 That basically means, again, more responsiveness, an easier way to track individual movements, 05:16.600 --> 05:20.880 which works in tandem with the DPI in order to make the mouse feel more responsive and 05:20.880 --> 05:22.680 more accurate. 05:22.680 --> 05:30.560 So when you buy the slightly more expensive version, you unlock either 4K or 8K. 05:30.560 --> 05:33.440 That means 8,000 hertz polling rate. 05:33.440 --> 05:38.060 Why would you put a smaller hertz polling rate on there? 05:38.060 --> 05:43.240 If it theoretically can go to 8,000 hertz polling rate, you must be able to, well, naturally 05:43.240 --> 05:47.640 expect it to be able to select a lower hertz polling rate. 05:47.640 --> 05:50.760 If it does 8,000, it should be able to do 4,000. 05:50.840 --> 05:56.920 Again, we have seen 8,000 hertz polling rate mice before from Corsair and from Razer, I 05:56.920 --> 06:01.160 believe, so this is not unique either, but if you're really serious about your gaming 06:01.160 --> 06:06.920 and Glorious does claim that they are an eSports brand, I mean, this is called an ultralight 06:06.920 --> 06:10.280 eSports mouse, well, then you might want the higher polling rate and you can get that, 06:10.280 --> 06:14.540 not wirelessly, but through a cable, so it's good to have them there. 06:14.540 --> 06:22.260 So they're kind of light, they have good optical switches, they have a seemingly good 06:22.260 --> 06:27.340 build quality, nice battery life, so there is a lot of stuff going for them. 06:27.340 --> 06:33.340 I will still say that I think this is just too dull and I would need it to be less dull 06:33.340 --> 06:38.540 in order for it to sway me away from any of the established giants out there, a Logitech 06:38.540 --> 06:42.220 Superlight, a Razer Viper. 06:42.220 --> 06:46.100 There's just a lot of good competition on the market, which have had a lot longer to 06:46.100 --> 06:47.460 establish itself. 06:47.460 --> 06:52.940 So for Glorious, I would say that having something that differentiates itself visually would 06:52.940 --> 06:54.320 be a good idea. 06:54.320 --> 06:58.660 It's also perhaps a good idea to include Bluetooth and a way to store the dongle, so that you 06:58.660 --> 07:04.300 always know that you can use it wirelessly, regardless of, you know, you don't have to 07:04.300 --> 07:06.700 store your dongle next to it and Bluetooth is fine as well. 07:06.700 --> 07:07.700 Thank you so much for watching. 07:07.700 --> 07:08.200 See you on the next one.
