is the model d minus an a plus or an f
let's talk about that roll the intro oh we don't
ShortCircuit
ShortCircuit let's unbox tech let's
unbox tech okay let's unbox it for those of the
know glorious pc gaming race is a fairly new company and they uh
started making desk pads and mouse pads moved to keyboards and now they're
making mice they've had good success making
wired really light mice they have the model o
the model d uh the distinction the model o is
ambidextrous the model d is a right-handed mouse this is the
d-minus so that's right-handed smaller and
i'm very excited this is a highly anticipated mouse and what's special is
that it's a reasonable price for the matte version it's 49.99
and for the glossy version which i really wouldn't want i don't
want glossy things it's 59 so 10 more that's just a good value for
a good gaming mouse it's definitely intended
for more of a shooter crowd there's the six buttons on the mouse that's it
it's 58 grams i believe
let me check so this mouse is 61 grams
and the larger one is a seven grams more at 68. the glossy one's a gram heavier
but like i said i don't want glossy so i'm gonna base this off of the matte one
they sent us a black one and a white one and i will use both of these
during the course of the review for the different kinds of glide pads that they
include which is pretty exciting so in the box
there's the mouse we have some document teshon a letter
from shazim muhammad the ceo of glorious i'm
really glad they took out the master race out of pc glorious
gaming race for obvious reasons includes a lot of
stickers which is pretty cool here's the bigger glide pads i was
mentioning i'm gonna take those out to save them because we're gonna try both
ooh it's like zeus kind of dude holding
a mouse a little about gpc gr
more stuff i love stuff i hate when you open a box and it's just like
the thing so this is a little quick start guide very cool shows you all the
different RGB modes which we will see later i'll have a little dance party but
i don't want to read that i would way rather have someone read this stuff to me just like our

going to unbox the other one so we can compare speaking of time
travel our most recent episode of carpool critics
actually one episode ago we talk about tenant which is a movie that
may or may not have time
traversal elements
oh yeah i'm not gonna go any further because it's probably all the same stuff white and black
as you can see it comes default with uh these glide pads
that are patented to glorious they're very smooth i've heard good things about
them but what i really like is that they actually include extra
glide this is kind of sweet because the benefit of wired mice is that they can
be extremely light they don't have to have wireless transmitters or batteries and
so generally a good light corded mouse will be super light this is 60 whereas like a
g pro which is maybe the best is 80 or like a viper ultimate it's like 74.
if you're dragging that around sure the mouse is light but you're also dragging a cord around
and so that starts to add to the weight this helps by making the actual mouse
itself glide smoother which kind of helps enhance the illusion of lightness
pretty easy you take off the 3m backing man this is the stuff i'm
so bad at as you can see the blue does come off so
that's fine i think it's meant to protect it keep it as smooth as possible
because this one once it's on your mouse pad there's not really that many
chances for dinks or like damages that would make it less
smooth let's talk about the physical of
the mouse i'm going to choose the white one because it's probably a little easier to see it's a good little mouse it's kind of
like a 403 or a basilisk shape it's a right-handed
mount so it curves so that your hand can kind of fit a little more comfortably and that's
actually what i prefer i use a 403 at home the g pro is a better mouse but the
shape of the 403 i prefer it's got the six buttons so left right
mouse click uh back forward it has the middle button
which i believe is a dpi indicator by default but you can probably reset it in
the software and then a little dpi indicator on the bottom i've heard a lot
of people complain that the dpi indicator is on the bottom for people who kind of switch sensitivities for
sniping on the fly because you're not gonna take your eyes off the
screen but uh overall i like the look of it i mean i like honeycomb
shaped mice they're kind of a pain to clean but it's a good looking overall
mouse i'm not a huge fan of putting the the pc the gpcgr
mascot on the mouse but it's it's pretty understated so that's totally okay
there's little grooves in the mouse that helped your fingers sit really well
which i actually find very comfortable it does feel like the curvature on the
back goes down a little bit so it feels like i kind of want a little more
presence in my palm um which the model d does provide
overall it's a comfy shape it definitely feels like it's a palm down just clawing the mouse a
little bit shape but really mice are so much preference really once you break down
the inside of the mouse there's not that much differences anymore the differences come down to the
pixar 3360 sensor which is considered a flawless sensor it's a little less
granular than the 3389
in that it can only do increments of 100 dpi for settings but it goes up to 12
000 which is much higher than i hope you use man did
anything you actually use 12 000 dpi if you do please let me know
that's a psycho i use 800 like a normal person i
guess what's normal who cares but otherwise it's a flawless sensor it's light it
feels good the button switches are the omron d2fc
f7n 20m 0fs i wrote that down i obviously
didn't memorize that d2fc means it's a chinese switch the f means that it's
the lighter actuation force so if it's the chinese ones it's the 60 gram if
it's the japanese one it's the 75 versus kind of 120 or 150. the 20 mil
obviously just means it's ready for 20 mil and the zero f means they give zero
[ __ ] about what you think so as per usual i'm gonna load up
rainbow six while that's loading up i'm going to load up the model d software
so there there's a lot of options you can change what each button does you can
add macros which i will not do uh you can change the dpi settings
yes that's what i want so you can change the settings you can go more granular if
you want it's of increments of 100 which is totally fine
there's all the different lighting modes i don't know if they can do it on both at the same time right now we're on
glorious mode which is glorious seamless breathing so kind of
just like uh flashing through the colors just straight breathing on one color
uh tail brave
yeah that's fun wave
yeah it's okay it's okay and then off
okay it seems like it's control uh
it's the same dpi for both which is great because i wanted to compare
same mouse different glide pads see how that goes and then we're gonna compare
it to different mice and see how that goes
oh yeah this feels this feels pretty good i'm actually impressed
uh with the cable managed i taped it to the front so i get just the right amount
of slack it just it's really light it feels like i'm flying especially with these extra
glide pads let's switch to the non-glide pad see if it's
quite as smooth oh god uh it's not that different like
as soon as i'm like not doing anything it doesn't feel that different it's
a little less smooth but if you for some reason didn't have the glide pads you're
fine i'd say like it's not worth like going out of your way to um
get them but yeah i actually really like the shape of this mouse i'm
kind of digging it oh maybe i maybe i
will go back to wired mice this feels good it feels fast i can like
flick i mean i'm not as accurate because it's not what i'm used to and this is a different setup but this
mouse feels really good i'm just kind of surprised i don't usually
like wired mice usually i find the cable gets in the way or i'm
just like yeah but this shape feels good the buttons
feel good i i do like honeycomb mice oh i'm dead
yeah this is better than i expected
all right now we're going to play some left 4 dead 2. it's one of my favorite games of all time and i just want to
showcase it remind you how great it is great my teammates are awesome
this is great put it on easy so that i didn't have to work very hard
oh oh yeah here we go oh buddy here we
go get out of here donkey
oh gosh oh that was so easy i'm so glad you guys could join me for the death of
shrek everybody press f in the chat oh he's
he didn't make his face mean at all i feel kind of bad now
so i want to compare it to some other top-end mice that are much more
expensive and see how it compares all right so the first
comparison i'm gonna do is to the viper ultimate it's the best wireless mouse that razer
makes it's super light 74 grams this mouse has gotten very good reviews i like the
shape of it feels comfortable more comfortable than the g pro to me
it's an ambidextrous mouse but the way it curves out i actually really enjoy so let's see how it does
i like the feel of the matte plastic so far
on the model d minus definitely better
this one feels a little cheaper this one's pretty good
yeah i there's like a really textured rubber kind of feel on the side and i
think that it wouldn't bother me but after coming off of like i was holding up 403 and
then the model d minus it just doesn't feel as
like refined also these side buttons are like really
small that's a 403 and that's what i'm used to and so
going from this to this that's fine but this to this this feels like i'm going
to miss some button clicks
i'll use that recoil i guess i'll blame the recoil actually i'll blame the mouse
i thought i would like this mouse more i've used it a couple times and i've liked it but now that i'm actually
looking at it with a critical eye not a huge fan of the viper ultimate
all right next we're going to do the g pro wireless it's the gold standard
it's i think whatever wireless mouse wishes it could be uh i use it at my
desk it's great it's pretty expensive i think it's like what 199 159
149 us but first i'm going to play a little more with the d minus just to
have a comparison the d minus feels
not cheap for how good of a price it is
i'm impressed the plastics feel good the shape is is good it's ergonomic
it's comfy the glide pads are awesome cable's light it's a parachute cord but
let's go to the g pro and see how that feels
oh yeah that's a that's a good mouse so that's a real nice mouse
i don't love the shape i find it doesn't feel comfortable in my hand after like
long periods but it's really good plastic it's really
light it's uh everything i could hope for in a mouse buttons always feel good
i mean wireless mics we've done a video on if wireless mice are as good as wired
mice and yes it is feels great g pro's gold standard
remains gold standard but at like triple the price
next up is the 403 this is the wired 403
i use the wireless one but it's my homeboy it feels very comfortable in my hand it feels
a lot heavier than uh i remember after handling all these super light mice
i do like the way that the palm comes a little bit higher the plastic does feel
very good i've heard stories of it kind of wearing off like i know edsel has
has one and he gave it to his girlfriend because all the plastic kind of started
rubbing off but again this is a pretty gold standard mouse
logitech makes very high end products for a decent price
i do like the cable on the model oh actually better it feels lighter
like with snag lists and the 403 it's a little more textured and hard
and it would give me resistance i feel like if the stars line poorly and this
caught on something this would give me a lot more trouble than the model d minus
so if you're going wired i'd actually recommend this or the d
over it should you get a model d minus
if you like the shape uh and you like honeycomb mice if you're into wired mice
absolutely this is an awesome mouse i'm actually going to take it home
and take it for a longer spin i'm super excited to play
with this more the the glide pads make it so smooth it feels so light it's a
great shape the buttons feel good overall this is an excellent mouse but
mice are so much preference so let me know in the comments is this the
kind of mouse you like do you like ambidextrous mice do you like big mice
do you like heavy mice are you one of those people that puts extra weights in their mouse i mean
i used to do it with my g9x thank you so much for watching if you
want to watch more ShortCircuit there's plenty but you can watch me in
the previous video what review the mouse with a fan in it
uh get my thoughts or check me out on carpool critics where i talk about
movies with james and riley and have a hella good time
