Amazon Basics Wired Mouse
Score: 70/100
Glorious Model O
Score: 53/100Rankings
The Amazon Basics 3-button wired mouse delivers dependable performance, a comfortable ergonomic shape, and a durable cable at an unbeatable bulk price, making it ideal for office and classroom environments. Its lack of extra buttons, DPI adjustment and USB-C compatibility keep it from appealing to power users or gamers.
The Glorious Model O is an ultra-lightweight wired gaming mouse (67 g) with a honeycomb shell, Pixart PMW3360 sensor and RGB lighting. It offers high precision and a flexible cable, but the honeycomb design can collect dust and it lacks onboard memory.
