Glorious Model I 2 Wireless Review – Design and Functionality
The Model I 2 Wireless is a right-handed wireless mouse with an ergonomic contoured shape. Its chassis has punched-out holes like other mice from Glorious to make it lightweight.
The main buttons of this mouse curve lightly, allowing your fingers to relax on them comfortably. Plus, it has a shallow thumb rest for added comfort. These features effectively prevented hand and wrist fatigue throughout our tests for this Glorious Model I 2 Wireless Review.
This mouse measures 129mm long, 42mm high, and 72mm at its widest point, including the thumb rest. Without it, the Model I 2 is only 62mm wide.
The mouse has nine programmable buttons. These include the left/right clicks, the scroll wheel click, two buttons above the scroll wheel, and four side buttons. The side buttons consist of three thumb buttons and a DPI shift button.
The swappable buttons are the third thumb button and the trigger button. You can use any of the five alternate button shapes that Glorious includes inside the package. These buttons have a magnetic design, making them easy to swap.
We were already impressed with the standard buttons of this mouse. However, we appreciate this feature since it makes the mouse versatile. It is a noteworthy feature that we want to highlight in this Glorious Model I 2 Wireless Review.

Aside from configuring its settings, you can optimise the mouse comfort by swapping two out of three side buttons. With this feature, you can customise the mouse to achieve better user experiences. As a result, our gaming performance improved during our tests for this Glorious Model I 2 Wireless Review.
Three Connection Modes
Play using three connectivity modes: 2.4GHz, Bluetooth, and wired modes.
With 2.4GHz Performance Mode, you can enjoy lag-free, latency-free, and blazing-fast wireless connectivity. Bluetooth lets you maximise its battery life and conveniently pair it with various devices.
Wired mode lets you enjoy zero latency for uninterrupted gaming and charges your mouse while playing.
DPI Lock
The Model I 2 Wireless has an Action Button set to DPI Lock by default. Holding it reduces mouse sensitivity for more precise aiming, and releasing it returns to normal DPI.
Aside from changing the mouse sensitivity, it offers quick layer shifts.
Layer Shift
In Glorious CORE, you can assign Layer Shift to the Action Button. Activating this feature lets you access a second remappable layer when holding the Action Button. It works like the Fn or Function key on a keyboard.
When you release the button, the mouse returns the primary functions of the buttons.
Hands-on with the Glorious Model I 2 Wireless
We used the mouse to share our user experience and help you decide if it is worth purchasing. But before we discuss our product tests, our Glorious Model I 2 Wireless Review will focus on its companion software.
Although the Model I 2 Wireless works well outside the box, you need the Glorious CORE to maximise its features. The best thing about this software app is its centralised interface. It is universal for all Glorious peripherals, so you do not need to install another app if you use another product from the brand.
For the Model I 2 Wireless, the Glorious CORE has options for lighting customisation, button programming, and DPI adjustment. You can also access other performance settings and store three custom profiles in the onboard memory.
We enjoyed using the app when we tested the product for this Glorious Model I 2 Wireless Review. Reassigning the nine buttons of this mouse was straightforward and seamless since the app has a simple interface. MMO players who program many buttons will appreciate this feature.
Since the Model I 2 has up to 26000 DPI, you can set different DPI profiles for quick switching. It has five levels, and you can use the two buttons below the scroll wheel to change the DPI. Each sensitivity level also has colour coding, so you can lift the mouse to see which is enabled.
With the BAMF 2.0 sensor, the Model I 2 offers high sensitivity and speed. As a result, its performance is on par with high-end mouse sensors.
We were impressed when we played multiple game titles under different genres to test the product performance. It was accurate, precise, and highly responsive, which made our gaming experiences more enjoyable. Also, the mouse worked on different surfaces, including mousepads, wood, and glass.
Aside from its performance, we loved the tactile and clicky switches. These may be too loud for office environments, but they offer excellent feedback for gaming.
With the lightweight design, gliding it around to perform accurate movements was easy. Although heavier than other Glorious mice, we had no difficulty using this mouse for FPS. However, we recommend it for MOBA and MMO since it has nine programmable buttons.
Despite being heavier than other mice with a similar shape and size, we did not experience wrist fatigue. We did not have any discomfort throughout our gaming tests for this Glorious Model I 2 Wireless Review. Also, we had no problems using it all day for work.
