Glorious Model D vs Razer Naga X: Comparison
What is the difference between Glorious Model D and Razer Naga X?
Weight is where these two genuinely part company, Glorious Model D 68 g against Razer Naga X 120 g, a 76% lead for Glorious Model D. Add buttons to that, 6 on the Glorious Model D versus 16 on the Razer Naga X, and the pattern holds. Sensor model is not the same on both, BAMF on the Glorious Model D versus Razer Optical on the Razer Naga X. On max dpi there is little in it, 19000 DPI on the Glorious Model D versus 18000 DPI on the Razer Naga X.
Who each one is for
The Glorious Model D suits right-handed palm and claw grip players wanting low weight and buyers who want a DeathAdder-style shape but lighter, though it is not the pick for ambidextrous or left-handed users and anyone who wants a wireless connection. The Razer Naga X is the one to take for MMO and MOBA players who want extensive programmable buttons and right-handed users who bind abilities directly to their mouse, though it is not built for FPS players who don't need extra thumb buttons 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. Our rating of the Razer Naga X (8/10): the best value pick for MMO and MOBA players who want a full 12-button thumb grid without paying flagship prices.
What Glorious Model D and Razer Naga X have in common
Where they agree, they agree completely, sensor tier, connectivity, polling rate, grip type and shape included, so the decision does not turn on any of those. They match on 2 further specifications as well.
