Customer Ratings & Reviews

The mouse is fantastic. What is not fantastic is the 4-6 hour life of the battery packs. If you can be okay with swapping that often, then you'll really like this mouse.

It’s nice but very weird. It a nice weird. I like it

This mouse has a really cool feature of infinite play.

I have been using the Glorious Model O 3 Lightweight Wireless Optical Gaming Mouse for about a week, and I am genuinely impressed. It is fast, precise, and ergonomically excellent; my hand settles naturally and remains comfortable during long sessions. Setup took only a couple of minutes, and I was ready to begin. The performance is consistently strong. An eight-thousand hertz polling rate and a thirty-thousand dots-per-inch sensor deliver smooth, highly responsive tracking, whether I am making rapid movements across the pad or fine, precise adjustments to line up a shot. At just sixty-six grams, it feels agile without feeling fragile, and I do not have to sacrifice red, green, and blue lighting or battery life to achieve that weight. The clicks are crisp and confident thanks to the optical switches, which are designed to endure countless hours of use. The InfinitePlay swappable battery system, paired with the charging base station, truly sets this mouse apart. When the power runs low, I replace the battery with the charged one housed in the base and continue playing, without needing cables or waiting. Even better, the mouse includes an internal keep-alive battery, so there is no panic during competitive play; it remains active while I complete a quick swap. That is actual wireless performance with zero interruptions. The Model O 3 Wireless excels in speed, comfort, and reliability, and its battery system eliminates downtime. If you want competitive performance with proper cable-free convenience, this mouse delivers.

The new Glorious Model O 3 Lightweight gaming mouse is a real game changer. The multi battery charging solution eliminates fear of losing battery life during a marathon gaming session, and the easy swap batteries can be switched out in mere seconds which is truly revolutionary. That is not where this gaming mouse stops wowing you though, as the performance is also stellar. Pin point accuracy and lightning fast response times really round out this amazing device! The build quality is also fantastic as I have now dropped this mouse several times moving it around and it still looks brand new! The RGB lighting is an amazing touch and blends perfectly with all of my other RGB accessories in my gaming setup. I have also used this mouse for work and it has been great as well, so this mouse really is an all around workhorse despite its sleek exterior and gaming prowess. The mouse clicks are also satisfying and the scroll wheel is perfect. I really looked for a way that this mouse could improve, but I found none and I absolutely love it!

I have had previous experience with the Gloriouos Gaming products in the past, and have never been dissapointed. They offer high quality, gamer-centric peripherals. This Model O 3 Lightweight Wireless Optical Gaming Mouse with InfinitePlay Swappable Battery is no different, Great product. So when I forst got this offer, I was a little perpplexed as to the efficacy, or even the need for this. I mean, for most of us, when your mouse battery goes, you just plug it in. And for many of us, depending on your mouse software, you often recieve low battery notifications, so no biggie. But after talking to my 23 year-old USN Nuclear Engineer (who is an AVID gamer when he's not under the Pacifiic Ocean), he said that thiswas actually a useful "tool". He said it's not uncommon to be burried neck-deep in online, live games, and if your battery goes dead, your in traouble. With this set-up, you can swap the battery live so you (for most practical purposes) bareley miss a beat. OK, that makes sense. As for the mouse, baterries and docking station, it is on par with other Glorious product. The mouse is ergonomically designed for hours-long sessions, lightweight and adjustable polling and DPI. Both helppful for the "hard-core" gamer. End of the day, a unique, if not necessary, product. If you have the need, this could be a game changer.

I got this mouse for my son, whose older wireless mouse after about 3 years and a lot of hours and accidentally drops, started acting a little off. Mainly the clicks were not registering with the right click, the primary click. It was a good gaming mouse that had a long battery life, rgb colors and a similar feel to this. It was similar price realm also. He had studied the gaming mouse choices out there a bit and was fascinated with the swappable batteries. I he like the idea of being able to “hot swap” during a game and hopefully not miss any play. Hus old mouse had really good 70 hour or better battery life…if he'd remember to charge it. This he liked the idea of knowing he had a spare pack ready to go. Once the one battery comes out he puts the other in the charger, and it becomes a habit to alway have things charged. I can't argue with that, and so far they system works for him. As for this mouse. The function, quality and build on this, very nice. It's light, feels good on the hand, buttons click nicely, soft but solid/responsive click. The app to use ti set up macros is is easy enough to use. Changing color/rgb settings is easy a lot of things you can do. You can set up a very custon dpi rate. Generally my son is used to 3200, and swapping old mouse to new, he kept it the same, and sensitivity wise, this kept his gaming feel the same, but it has so much more capability that he can go to. So in the aspect of if my son were rating this, he'd say 5 star, does what he needs. It is easy setup, dongle connected as soon as it was plugged in. And it paired via Bluetooth easy also, so all functions for my son, 5 stars. However, I'm the one rating it though, and personally If he didn't ask for this one as a gift, I might have passed on it myself. It's a 5 star on function and play and setup. I actually feel the swappable battery is sort of a downgrade in this. First. 10 to 12 hour game play is a small battery. The other mouse would be about 70 hours, 2-3 weeks of play (or more on some rechargeable mice and my use). This maybe a week at a time, then swap. Again hit swap good, but personally I charge my mice every week on Sunday evenings when u remember. Just set up a pattern to do this. So this I have an extra charging base on the desk and battery, a bit more cluttered. I bet these batteries will last 4 to 5 years each (hopefully), but then they will die, I doubt at that time finding replacement battery easy to find, and cost wise likely in the 30 to 50 dollar range if they exist, so the idea of this being a forever mouse is there, but unlikely because of the way they have trained the consumer market. I'm old, and I remember being able to fix many things in phones and I still have 20 year old flip phones that would work with new batteries, if the networks supported them. This mouse has that chance, but likely won't. Finally, the memory battery looks like it's a little button lithium in the design. That will wear out, and lose function or carode. I did not pull around much on this much, but if you can't swap that, the forever idea is gone. Again, I'd look at this as a half star reduction problem. My second half star reduction is the on off/bluetooth button on bottom. I wish it was a slide to easily know it's on and off, or slide further to bluetooth, then hold to put into pairing mode. I have a setup on a laptop where i do switch to bluetooth from dongle because i need the usb slot for a cd rom drive. This thing is a bit of a pain because you start in off mode, hold like turning on, go a bit longer and it's in pairing mode. Then if I want to go back to dongle, I find it hard to get the unit to switch off bluetooth to 2.4ghz. It's a process of shutting it off and on, or just unpaired the darn thing. It's just a me thing, but that multifunction push button is not optimal. They thought of a lot of things, but changing to a single function button, not good. One last old person complaint is this has a horrible quick set up guide. It's ultra small print, no button layout diagram. I had to put on readers and then it was all words, no diagrams. For this price, it should have multilayer instructions for visual learners, written learners, and reader glasses vision impaired. I complain about qr codes to user guids instead of physical ones. In the case of this, if you are going to use paperm make it useful, or as with this, I was looking for a qr code for more details and support videos. Nope. Not this. With a premium price like this, should be 5 star service. I give this for my review 4 of 5 stars (3.5 if I could deduct a half point for the manual/instructions) Do I reccomend buying this, yes because my son is happy. For me, this solves a problem I don't have, a lot of engineering and time with gains in the battery idea, but backside in function button. For my son, solved his problem.

The Glorious Model O3 is an innovative, fantastic mouse. In a specsheet obsessed world, Model O3 might seem like a mouse that is a little behind the times. The mouse I've been using as a daily driver for gaming for years is only 59 grams, and I just reviewed another that is only 36g. So when you see the words "ultralight" and "66g" on a 2025 model, it would be easy to dismiss this mouse as outdated. I think Glorious are on to something here with the Model O3 and it deserves consideration from the vast majority of gamers. #Unboxing and first impressions# The Model O3 box doesn't help with the weighty impression - but there's a good reason for that. Inside the box, you get the mouse itself, plus the USB-C cable (braided, very flexible), the USB-A dongle, and the "InfinitePlay" charging station for the swappable batteries. The charging station has a USB-C and USB-A port, so you can leave it permanently on your desk next to your mouse pad with the dongle attached to it. The InfinitePlay dock also has a button on it to control the DPI and Polling rate of the mouse as long as you have the dongle connected to it. Alternatively, you could plug the dongle directly into a USB-A port on your computer (or whatever other hub on your keyboard or monitor) and then just leave the InfinitePlay dock somewhere else to charge your batteries and keep your desktop clean. Also, Glorious includes stickers. And stickers are great. In the hand, the Model O3 has a large profile that is surprisingly comfortable. I've got medium to large hands and switch between palm and fingertip grip. I cannot tell a difference between the rear edge of the Model O3 and any other mouse I've used - perhaps if you have smaller hands your full palm might rest where that lip is, I don't know. I tried claw grip with the Model O3 and also could not feel the battery pack sticking out. #Using the Model O3# While the Model O3 does have a software suite available (Glorious "Core") thanks to the button on the InfinitePlay dock you can control the DPI and polling rate without any additional software. This is great for gamers like me who use the same desk setup for work and personal use - I don't have to install anything on my work PC to easily change DPI and polling rate. As mouse software goes, Glorious Core is straightforward and functional. It's much less annoying than some other accessory config apps I've used. Gaming with the Model O3 is pretty much what you'd hope for in a gaming mouse. The sensor is consistent and precise. You can configure lift off distance in the Core software, though you can't configure separate horizontal and vertical DPI (which I only use for Pharah in OW2 anyway). The weight of the Model O3 is distributed a bit further back than a typical mouse (as you'd probably expect). For a fingertip gamer, this means that it has a pivot point a bit further back than other mice I've used, but I adapted to it pretty quickly. I was surprised to find that the Model O3 actually has a very small built-in battery so it continues to function for several hours even without an InfinitePlay battery installed. As a result, you can get this mouse down to 61g without the pack. I love that you never have to plug this mouse in to charge. Just swap the batteries and go. #Final thoughts# Glorious have shifted the compromise on a "no compromises" mouse from battery life to weight. The highest tier of competitive gamers can certainly benefit from a cutting edge ultralight mouse that is even lighter than the Model O3. But for anyone who is replacing a mouse that's more than a year or two old, the Model O3 is going to be lighter than what you're replacing, it's going to have a much better 3950 sensor, it's going to have an 8K polling rate, and it's going to fix the biggest problem most people have with 8K wireless mice - it has "infinite" battery life thanks to the swappable packs. I think it's worth checking out. I'll be recommending this mouse as a top choice to my friends for quite awhile, I think.

The Glorious Model O 3 Lightweight Wireless Optical Gaming Mouse throws pretty much everything you might want into a gaming mouse with very few compromises. I have walked through Best Buy stores for years. And I have often looked at Glorious products but never actually walked out with any. This was mostly because I felt they were priced more than products I was already familiar with. I recently reviewed the new Sony Inzone mouse and was very impressed. The Glorious Model O 3 is priced mostly the same as the Sony mouse but the feature set is quite a bit more interesting. The DPI range of 50-30,000 and max polling rate 8,000 Hz are competitive with the top gaming mice. But it's the infinite play battery feature that sets this mouse apart. There have been mouses available that use docking stations but Glorious had done something much different here. And it's always been the case that you can’t use a wireless mouse and not think about your battery while gaming. Glorious has mostly solved this problem. And in place of an ugly dock the Model O 3 uses the InfinitePlay Battery Base. The base charges a second battery so you can swap out and the base also provides valuable information at a glance such as your battery levels, current polling and DPI settings. Since profiles are saved on the mouse I can just pull the wireless receiver out of the dock and pop into my gaming notebook and go. It is a feature that I have used quite a bit. The mouse has its own permanent battery so when you swap out the battery you don’t lose the connection. Initially I did have an issue where the mouse would shutdown when changing the battery but that seems to have been resolved in the last firmware update. The Glorious CORE 2.1 software I am using works well and gives you complete control over all mouse features. I personally don’t like having a DPI button on the top of my gaming mouse. I have a bad habit of hitting the button while gaming and was very glad I was able to disable it. I can also remap it to a host of different key bindings in the Core software if I choose. Honestly if you compare features against most any other top gaming mouse I don’t know if you can beat the Glorious Model O 3. But in the end it's how does any mouse feel in use. And if I just compare it to the Sony offering, Sony will win but it's very close. The Sony is a bit lighter and it feels better in my hand. The shape is a better fit for me and the mouse itself has a smoother texture that I do like. But the Model O 3 has features that Sony just can’t compete with. The fact is if I had to choose just one I would choose the Model O 3. It's only slightly heavier, has some great lighting that you can disable if you want and the infinite battery feature is unmatched. The mouse performs great in actual use and it might just be that other manufacturers find a way to copy the Glorious Model O 3 infinite battery feature.
