Finalmouse UltralightX vs Glorious Model D: Comparison

What is the difference between Finalmouse UltralightX and Glorious Model D?

The gap that matters here is weight: Finalmouse UltralightX 31 g against Glorious Model D 68 g, which puts Finalmouse UltralightX 119% ahead. There is a split on sensor model as well, PixArt on the Finalmouse UltralightX versus BAMF on the Glorious Model D. Connectivity is not the same on both, Wireless on the Finalmouse UltralightX versus Wired on the Glorious Model D. Polling rate is closer, Up to 8000Hz wireless on the Finalmouse UltralightX versus 1000 Hz on the Glorious Model D.

Which should you buy, Finalmouse UltralightX or Glorious Model D?

The Finalmouse UltralightX suits collectors and enthusiasts who track Finalmouse's limited drops. It is equally the pick for competitive players who prioritize the lowest possible weight and highest polling rate over brand ecosystem or easy availability. It is not the one for anyone who wants reliable restock availability, Finalmouse drops sell out fast and resale prices run well above MSRP. Buy the Glorious Model D for right-handed palm and claw grip players wanting low weight and buyers who want a DeathAdder-style shape but lighter, though it is not built for ambidextrous or left-handed users and anyone who wants a wireless connection. Our rating of the Glorious Model D (8/10): one of the lightest ergonomic mice around, with a sensor and feet that punch above its price.
