Who each one is for
The Glorious Model D is the one to take 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. Buy the Roccat Burst Pro for budget-conscious buyers who still want a flagship-tier sensor and ambidextrous grip users wanting a light symmetrical shell, though it is the wrong buy for anyone who wants a wireless connection and palm grip users wanting a fuller ergonomic shape. 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 Roccat Burst Pro (8/10): A genuine budget-flagship pick, offering Roccat's best sensor and switch tech without the wireless price premium.
