What we like
- 57g feels weightless after a day of dragging a heavier productivity mouse
- Sealed shell — no honeycomb holes collecting crumbs and skin oil
- Optical switches rated for 100M clicks feel crisp and consistent
- BAMF 2.0 26K sensor tracks flawlessly on cloth and hard pads
- 1ms 2.4GHz wireless with no perceptible latency
Could be better
- Small/medium shape — not ideal for large hands or full palm grips
- Software (Glorious Core) is functional but feels rough compared to Logi Options+
- No Bluetooth fallback, only 2.4GHz dongle
Full Review
The Model O 2 Pro is what the original Model O should have been. Glorious dropped the honeycomb cutouts, kept the weight under 60g, and upgraded the sensor and switches. The result is a gaming mouse you can actually live with day-to-day — no more vacuuming dust out of the shell every two weeks.
Shape and Build
This is a small-to-medium ambidextrous shape, best for fingertip and claw grips. Hands under about 19cm will love it. Larger hands palming the whole mouse will feel cramped — go look at the Model D 2 Pro instead, which is the ergonomic version.
The sealed shell is the headline change. It feels solid, not hollow, and there’s zero flex when you squeeze the sides. The PTFE feet glide smoothly out of the box, and the matte coating doesn’t get greasy after a few hours of use.
Performance
The BAMF 2.0 sensor is genuinely overkill for office work and more than enough for competitive FPS play. Tracking is flawless on every pad I tried, including a glass-topped desk in a pinch. Lift-off distance is short and adjustable in software.
The optical switches are crisp without being fatiguing. There’s no debounce delay you’d notice, and after months of testing the click feel hasn’t degraded — which is the whole point of optical over mechanical switches.
Wireless and Battery
2.4GHz only, no Bluetooth. For a gaming mouse this is the right call — Bluetooth latency would defeat the purpose. Battery hits the rated ~80 hours easily with RGB off, and USB-C charging means you can keep working while it tops up.
Productivity Use Case
Here’s the surprise: a 57g mouse is incredible for anyone with wrist or forearm strain. If you’ve been dragging a 110g Logitech MX Master 4 all day and your hand aches by 4pm, swapping to something this light for a few hours is genuinely therapeutic. I’ve started running a two-mouse setup — MX Master for scroll-heavy work, Model O 2 Pro for everything else.
Who Should Buy This
Buy this if you game competitively and want a sealed-shell ultralight, or if you have hand strain and need a featherweight alternative to your productivity mouse. Skip it if you have large hands, want Bluetooth multi-device pairing, or need a thumb scroll wheel for productivity work — get the Logitech MX Master 4 instead.
