So... i got it... the Glorious -o......
What a freakin relief! a mouse that GLIDES, a cable that doesn't want to snag on every thing it touches, clicky clicky buttons!
albeit i did get the cable holder, and mouse mat too but my past few Razer mice have been so-so, ever since they went for the the long strips on the top and bottom half of the mouse the gliding has sucked, and then you'd get the gravel like feeling and it's the feet being awkward, you'd literally have to cut tiny bits out, and yea that would fix it.. like the feet wear down and then get to a bit of crap that got stuck in the molding process.
I originally had the Copperhead and it was the best mouse since my cheap samsung from years back, but the mice never got better from then on really.. you had Synapse, crap mouse feet, and all-in-one buttons (buttons and mouse top all in one) which i wasn't fond of... so yeah.
Anyway...
I DO recommend the full house Mouse/Mat/Cable Holder, the cable itself is really light and seems happy to just stay where you want it, unlike the Razer mouse cables, currently (as mentioned in above post) the cable is like a 90 degree angle, and for me it actually helps as i have it slotted in the cable holder and the cable it'self is basically floating, doesn't touch the mat at all and i have plenty of length since i use a 5000/5400 DPI setting (could have gone for a smaller mat tbh, but it depends on the game).
It's really nice to move, with my Razer the first movement from a held position was always like a stutter, as you had to apply more force to get it moving, compared to actually moving it, (the Razer Mat was getting a bit worn i admit, but even in places i didn't use it (only use a small area) still same issue), this glides, same force from held position as you would be moving it.
(If you don't know what i mean, hold position, then move your mouse to see and feel how smooth it is, and how much force you use, then continually move it around and feel the force you are then using, along with how smooth it is/feels, the lower the DPI the less the issue is tbh)
The buttons are clicky, and so is the scroll wheell, about on par with Razer (Deathadder Elite) MAYBE require a little more force, however the actual scroll is much better! The buttons can "wiggle" a little, but you have to use your fingers to do it, they ain't loose and won't interrupt your game at all, as resting your fingers and pressing the buttons you won't notice any wiggle.
- Just tested it on the Razer Mouse mat, smooth as butter, a bit faster to move, but also a bit rougher on glide than the Glorious Mouse Mat, but thats a Hard vs Soft surface.
- Being honest if they did a --o, i'd buy that.
- If they did an RGB free version, it might be worthwhile for those with high DPI settings (like me).
- No grip pads (like Razer use) are a big plus, my hands don't really sweat, so i don't lose grip.. but the razer pads did get dirty after a while and with cleaning they would eventually loosen (causing grip issues) and come off... no issues with that here.
