- The $50 Glorious Model O is an incredibly lightweight mouse weighing in at only 67 grams versus other wired gaming mice that weigh in over 100 grams.
- Such a light mouse is great for fast-paced video games, especially first-person shooters like "Fortnite," "Apex Legends," and "Battlefield V."
- The cable is so light and airy that I barely sense it's there. The Model O is a wired mouse that feels wireless.
- It has a high-quality sensor and a fairly basic range of buttons, but it should suffice for many gamers.

There's a trend in the PC gaming world surrounding ultra-lightweight gaming mice, and as a gamer myself, I was curious to try one out.
For a while, many of the ultra-lightweight gaming mice were unfortunately expensive, and even hard to get. I first noticed ultra-lightweight mice from a company called Finalmouse, but they cost over $100 and were rarely in stock. And seeing as I already owned an expensive gaming mouse, I wasn't willing to drop over $100 on yet another mouse.
Then came a mouse from the niche gaming-accessory company Glorious called the "Model O," which immediately tempted me with its $50 price tag. I bought one, and it's likely the last gaming mouse I'll buy - unless something significantly lighter comes along.
