Glorious is bringing back a beloved classic, announcing the revival of its original Model O gaming mouse. This updated version retains the distinctive honeycomb design and RGB lighting that made the 2019 model a hit, while incorporating a more responsive sensor and other subtle enhancements. The company aims to cater to a market that still appreciates the original’s aesthetic and performance, now with a touch of modern technology.
Key Takeaways
- The original Glorious Model O design is back.
- Features an upgraded “19K Optical Gaming Sensor” (Pixart PAW 3370).
- Retains the lightweight honeycomb shell and RGB lighting.
- Wireless version available for $89.99.
A Nostalgic Return with Enhanced Performance
The Glorious Model O Classic is essentially a re-imagining of the 2019 gaming mouse, complete with its signature RGB strips and the original honeycomb shell. This design choice, while less common in today’s ultra-lightweight mice, harks back to a popular era in peripheral design. The mouse aims to capture the essence of the original while offering improved performance for modern gaming demands.
Upgraded Sensor and Specifications
At the heart of the Model O Classic is the “19K Optical Gaming Sensor,” which is based on the Pixart PAW 3370. This sensor boasts a maximum polling rate of 1 kHz, a DPI that tops out at 19,000, 400 IPS, and 40 G acceleration. Despite the inclusion of the honeycomb shell, the mouse maintains a weight of 69 grams. This places it slightly heavier than some of the ultra-lightweight solid-shell mice that have emerged in recent years, many of which weigh between 40-50 grams.
Customization and Availability
Users can customize the Glorious Model O Classic using the Glorious Core software. However, it’s important to note that this software is exclusively available for Windows operating systems. The wireless version of the Glorious Model O Classic is currently available for purchase directly from the Glorious online store, priced at $89.99.
