Totally agree: the day this goes wireless is the day I'll be truly tempted to box up my G502. Until then or until my G502 gives out I'm in no rush to pick up a Model I. I'm happy it exists tho.

[@xd_Ronin47]

Me too. And I would still prefer only 3 side buttons

[@spxctreofficial]

Plus the wired G502 is cheaper than the Model I, and I doubt the weight of mice like this will be the reason to choose one mouse over the other as it would be with more competitive designs (traditional ambi/ergo mice designed for optimal aim instead of focusing more on the feature-set).

[@orrygel]

Yeah they aren’t going to win me over without wireless

[@briggsy1142]

[@mayasarmonia3257]

Been waiting for quite some time for a review on these

[@tevinslawson]

I don't understand why they don't just release the wired and wireless versions at the same time. Hopefully it doesn't take them a year or more to do it for this mouse like it did with their others.

[@Pretko]

It's not easy developing mouses y'know Consider the fact that making a mouse wireless needs alot of changes + Money and Resources to do so

[@Pretko]

Not to mention there's this thing called "Demand".

[@rea280]

@@Pretko Not hard for them to install a wireless sensor. And the demand is definitely there.

[@vancesaler]

I'd imagine it's probably to get people to double dip, think GTA V releasing on 3 different generation of consoles. If it takes them a while to come out with the wireless version, people might buy the wired version initially and then buy the wireless one when it launches.

[@toxicturkeyy]

they want you to buy both...

[@d4rkz3r011]

Great video! I've been waiting for a video about this mouse

[@Brandon-qd4bh]

I have been rocking the Model O for years now. Just purchased this as I always wished the model 0 just had an extra macro button or two. The perfect solution to what I've been waiting for.

[@turtleking2289]

Exactly. This is the same reason I’m getting the model I.

[@Meatsweats_o_O]

a light 'version' of the 502, which has been my favorite mouse. I have 3, one still new in box. but i'm currently using the wireless D-, if the 502 was lighter or once this goes wireless, then that'll probably be my next main mouse.

[@STYCZY]

Been waiting for this since you teased it in the GMMK2 unboxing !

I really love the G502, but I wish there was a white version so it would go with the colors I'm trying to go with. But now that I've seen this mouse, I may buy this one instead.

[@SLYtheartist]

i know multiple people that prefer the slightly more ergo shape like this. time to wait for the wireless version.

[@jamesda3]

For real. I understand this is the "glorious" way, i.e. releasing wired followed by wireless months to a year later. That being said it is 2022, they really should have come out with the wireless at the same time as wired. I would have bought this mouse today if it was wireless. Instead ill just stick with my current mouse until they release a wireless, or someone else releases a wireless in this shape.

[@muny_man]

@@jamesda3 Why is wired such a turn off? The cable on these are great and you get a lighter mouse with no need to charge.

[@truthxbl]

Tbh at this point their wireless tech is tested and reliable... Putting out wired models is just a scam to double dip on our wallets. Glorious is way too thirsty these days.

[@jamesda3]

@@muny_man I’ll say that it’s just a personal decision for me. I prefer wireless and in 2022 there are so many mice that come out wireless, that’s it’s worth it, for me, to pass on this mouse and buy another one. Just feels like they missed an opportunity by not releasing both at the same time considering how many wireless options there are.

[@jamesda3]

@@truthxbl I agree. This mouse release was the time for them to change their ways and not do the double release routine.

my jaw literally dropped at 2:36 . i have never seen a review with a ghost image on the mouse. that was simply AMAZING!!

[@WillyBoyWonder]

Got a Model O- few months and loving it but now I'm very curious to see what a Model I- would look like

I like it. I've got a model D wireless so it won't kill me to wait for them to release a wireless version of this one.

[@md.masumomarjashim]

I will wait anxiously for the wireless version. Looks like the Basilisk Ultimate which is an awesome mouse too.

[@Daishi0861]

this is what i was thinking as well, closer to a basilisk than a g502 & 40-something grams lighter.

[@ThatOneLazyNerd]

I might get one when they drop the wireless version as my secondary, but that g502 will always be my main unless the exact same functionality and shape comes out in a lighter mouse.

[@MigzG]

Just saw on the website they have the Gskates available for this. I'm sure that will make it 10x better! and it already looks amazing!

[@frostgodx]

at this point if they need them theres a problem. Stock skates need to step their game up for real

[@MigzG]

@@frostgodx you know I can't really argue against your point.

[@illusion116]

G-skates are the exact same thing that it comes with aren’t they? They are just for replacement. You may be thinking about the ceramic G floats but they do not have those available. They’ve stated they will consider it depending on demand

[@4aty1]

Interesting to see they made it so light. I know lots of people go with the G502 because of the shape, but reading online, it seems lots of people also go for the G502 because of it's "heavy" weight.

[@Hijynx87]

I've always liked weights in my mice, but now people are clamoring for the light mice for some reason. I guess it makes sense for esports.

[@busherinolol1693]

As a moba player I've been waiting for a light mouse with more than 2 programmable buttons for years. This one looks pretty good, I'll wait for the wireless version tho. Steelseries Aerox 5 wireless also looks promising tho.

I was gonna get a mouse but im so thankful i waited, Im really excited for this especially when the wireless version releases

[@Realzyll]

I've had the g502 for like 2 years now, it was my first proper gaming mouse ( as in not a cheap amazon off-brand one ) and I love it but have always hated the weight as a Valorant/CS player. I was thinking about swapping to the model D as it is similar to the Corsair harpoon mouse that my brother has which I thought was really comfortable and way lighter. Should I go for the model I or model D now, I am honestly conflicted, I love the amount of buttons on the G502 but I love the shape of the harpoon as it is more rounded. You did mention the model I is more rounded the the G502 so I would love someone's opinion on what is better. Thanks :D

[@midaii1148]

The baby photo on the keyboard made me smile. Very wholesome.

[@oes2546]

Considering the G502X wired due to the weight. I want that side-scroll, because after using the MX Master 3 I can't live without it now.

[@KadenMonsonMTB]

So I play on ps5 with keyboard and mouse so if I bind the extra buttons would it just be side button 3 or would I have to connect it to my laptop first to bind them to other keys that I don’t already use?

[@ceo]

you need to do a bash test. i cant count how many times i slammed my g502 in rage and it still works

[@ninjaa003]

The shape reminds me of the original Razer Basilisk, which was my favorite mouse before switching to ultralight and wireless. Honestly, and ultralight wireless version of that mouse, with the rubber side grip still, would be 👌 When they release it in wireless, I'll check it out, and maybe slap some grip tape on it.

[@MrTikibars]

Ive been a huge fan of glorious mouses. I have the Model o wireless, o- regular, and o- wireless. The issue i have with their wireless mouse, is that they seem to die after ~less than 48 hours not being charged. If it had a charging doc where i can quickly rest the mouse on id like it more. I hope they make an I- version. thats a 100% buy for me.

[@mrw3951]

[@alexrotaru6616]

the g502 for me is still going to be the go to choice, the hyperglide is a feature i cannot let go of and the weight although thought to be a bad thing i just personally enjoy and find having that weight helps me do flicks and really dial in my movements better. i find that with these light mice they all feel really really cheap but the g502 just feels like an absolute unit so yeah there's my two cents or like 5 cents lol

[@kitstar2587]

CANT WAIT TO BUY IT

[@Xizax41325]

If they make a wireless version I might finally retire my g604. Replaced a 502 with it because I wanted 4 side buttons and I kept accidentally clicking the two buttons next to left click. I also prefer a heavier mouse to a lighter one, even for fps.

[@Deadbeatwaffle]

i just removed function from the two next to left click lmao. too finicky

[@Zubbbz]

I bought this mouse coming from a g502 hero. I LOVE this mouse. I didn’t realize how much the heavy weight of the g502 was holding me back. The lightweight mouse trend isn’t just a stupid gimmick like I thought

[@MyouKyuubi]

I think the only way they could improve the glorious mice is to replace the gliders with glass variants, lol.

[@thewatcher...2401]

One question, is it a big step back having small hands using the G502 Hero or the model I? I actually have the Hero but I can’t compare the mouse with smaller mouses to see if it’s really a set back.

How's it holding up today?

looks more like the razer basilisk than the g502, would have liked to have seen comparisons to that. mainly the essential version

[@miriotogata5474]

They really missed out on the scroll wheel It is so important. Having free flowing wheel is so helpful when reading comics or manga or browsing Twitter. Razer's adjustable on the basilisk v2 is my favorite you can dial it in so it's practically free flowing but doesn't move on its own. The g502 free flowing always bounces up a little when I scroll. They stopped using the adjustable ones on the basilisk v3 because even on my mice having it on the more tactile pressure it will cause it to skip scrolls

[@SipePerkele]

I wish the side buttons would be little higher placed, waiting for wireless. But nice that we finally get something different than child hand fingertip grip mouses! ✌️

[@ultimomos5918]

I feel if they're target competition was the 502 they should have considered some of the functionality that makes it so appealing when designing the Model I. For me the 502 was great for MOBAs and MMOs, with the extra two buttons on the left click adding a ton of functionality and the infinite scroll wheel making it great from a productivity standpoint. Don't see much reason to jump ship from my Viper Ultimate yet though. The Model I isn't a bad mouse at all, just kinda meh.

[@FullSpeedAirsoft]

NO WAY?!?! THIS IS SO COOL!

[@lescarpio]

I LOVE the Model I! I previously thought I needed a heavier mouse to be more accurate, so I too had a Logitech G502 loaded with all the extra weights possible. But after a while I got fatigued. I switched to the Roccat Burst Pro, which weighs just one ounce less than the Model I. It was good, but I wanted more buttons with similar weight, so I decided to get the Model I. Best choice I've made! Lightweight, easy to click all the buttons, very glidey, and the difference in form factor I've learned actually helps me with accuracy as I can rest my thumb in the crevice rather than on the mouse pad. Only thing I don't like is the mouse wheel scrolling. It feels too mushy and not clickly like the Logitech and Roccat mice.

[@ThunderTiger0801]

Question about the cord. Is it possible that it gets stiffer after it was exposed to sunlight next to a window for example? I noticed from my Model D that the part attached to my PC is as flexible as on the day I got it but the other end on my mouse is quite a bit siffer🤔

[@Jax-pg3zm]

My G502 is 6 years old now and I still love it. Perfect MMO mouse

[@muny_man]

I love mine too however I also have a model D and the weight difference is crazy.

[@Zockmock]

Yeah, I'm gonna need a wireless version.

[@eduardoreyes2128]

Once the I Wireless goes live, Razer and Logitech will now have a reason to release their versions with lighter weight. I can compromise and play at around 75g, if it means they're gonna beat Glorious's mediocre battery life, and throw in some other features like wireless charging. Since these are cheap, these can be a good buy until Razer and Logitech catch up, or if they're even thinking of releasing a lighter version since the weight one of the things that make the G502 and Basilisk special.

Im really curious whether a decent weight and no greasy rubber right side can save the worst mouse ive ever used (502). I may actually try during holiday sales for science. Also the hyperscroll does a bunch of unnecessary things while making the actual scroll wheel harder to use, and adds enough weight to ruin the rest of the mouse. In comparison every gamesense mouse ive used has had a scroll wheel that is basically perfect for everything a scroll wheel should do.

Funny story, I used a model o (and switched to a model o wireless) since release to now, then due to issues with the model o wireless I switched back to my G502. I love the shape but at like 160g it's a bit too heavy for me, so perfect timing ig. Although I am really hesitant to buy another glorious product. Their QC is terrible, although their customer service in the states is good, and as stated before my model o wireless has issues registering clicks after 1 year... it also has very loud creaking and the materials used for the model o glosses over with my hand oils after like a month, which is not desirable. But the only reason I like glorious now is that they promote competition in niche markets.
