Something that I immediately noticed when I first received this mouse is that Glorious have definitely been listening to their customers. This is evident when you open up the box: gone is the smaller box where they crammed the cable underneath the mouse at an odd angle (something that led to cable malfunctions for some people, though I didn’t have that issue on my copies) and in comes a larger box that has way more room for the cable.

As for the mouse itself there isn’t really anything super special about it, at least not if you’ve been following the mouse market for a while. If you haven’t then you’ll definitely notice the fact that there are holes all over the shell. This is called the HoneyComb Shell by Glorious, and it’s done in this way to cut back on the weight of the product and to provide ventilation to keep your hands feeling fresh after hours of gaming.

The shape of the Model D is obviously very different from what you get with the Model O, but the overall design ideas stay the same. You can get this one in white or black and both colorways are available in a matte and a glossy version. On the left side of the mouse you’ll see the bearded Glorious mascot and on the right side there’s a small ‘GLORIOUS’ print towards the front of the mouse. A total of three programmable RGB elements provide the mandatory light show to finish off the look of this product.

All in all this D looks really nice if you ask me. Something about the way the RGB lights up parts of the inside of the mouse just looks interesting to me, and while I am aware of the fact that some people strongly dislike the inclusion of the Glorious beard-man I can definitely say that this mouse is an eye-catcher. Not that this matters for performance, but I thought I’d mention it.

Note: I did not get a glossy Model D to test so I cannot give any definite statements on that version, though the only difference between the two coatings is that the glossy mice weigh one gram more and cost 10 dollars more at MSRP.
