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. The Vaxee Outset AX suits ambidextrous claw and fingertip grip users with medium hands and fans of lightweight wired esports mice, though it is not the pick for players who want wireless connectivity and palm grip users wanting a fuller shell. 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 Vaxee Outset AX (8/10): A well-tuned boutique wired mouse for players who want ZYGEN-level quality with a bit more shell length.
