Overview
The Glorious Model D Minus Wireless - Matte White (GLO-MS-DMW-MW, MS594) is a 58g right-handed ergonomic wireless gaming mouse built around the Glorious BAMF optical sensor with up to 19,000 DPI. The short verdict: it suits small-to-medium hands that want the reassurance of an ergonomic shape without the weight of a traditional ergo mouse.
The Model D line is the product that popularized the honeycomb shell, and the Minus variant is a size down from the standard Model D, dimensioned for claw and fingertip grips. On Amazon.co.jp it holds a 4.4-star rating across 117 reviews (88% positive, captured May 2026) — a real sample size, not a handful of early impressions.
Because the shell is asymmetric and right-handed, left-handed users and anyone who insists on a fully symmetrical shape should rule it out immediately. No amount of tuning changes the shape.
Connectivity and Compatibility
It connects over 2.4GHz wireless with the bundled USB receiver, and works wired through the included USB-C cable.
Windows, macOS, and Linux are supported; it is recognized on plug-in with no extra driver install. You only need the Glorious Core software if you want to change DPI steps, remap buttons, or adjust RGB lighting.
The real pitfalls are physical, not software.
| Check | Spec | Watch out for |
|---|---|---|
| Connection | 2.4GHz wireless / USB-C wired | No Bluetooth; you need a free USB port |
| Charging port | USB-C | Any USB-C cable works for charging |
| Battery | ~110 hours | RGB settings change real-world runtime a lot |
| Weight | 58g | Added grip tape and skates raise effective weight |
| OS | Windows / macOS / Linux | Glorious Core is most complete on Windows |
The 2.4GHz band can be disturbed by USB 3.x devices and Wi-Fi hardware.
The bundled receiver extension adapter is not filler — it exists so you can bring the receiver onto the desk instead of leaving it in a rear motherboard port, which is the single most common cause of "my wireless mouse stutters." Place the receiver at roughly the same height as the mouse with clear line of sight.
Console use is not a supported configuration. It may work on systems that accept generic USB mice, but PC is the platform Glorious targets.
Product Info
Key specs: 2.4GHz wireless plus USB-C wired, Glorious BAMF optical sensor, up to 19,000 DPI, 58g weight, roughly 110 hours of battery life, and a 2-year warranty as an official Japanese-market product.
It launched in 2021 and remains one of the long-running honeycomb lightweights.
Prices, with the date each was captured: ¥9,540 on Amazon as of 26 May 2026, ¥10,209 on Amazon as of 28 August 2026, and $37.99 on eBay US as of 9 July 2026.
A ~¥700 swing in three months tells you what to expect at this tier — sales and stock move the number constantly, so check the current listing price before buying. Overseas listings also handle warranty differently from domestic authorized stock; if the 2-year coverage matters to you, the domestic route is worth the premium.
In the box: the mouse, a USB-C charging cable, the 2.4GHz receiver, a receiver extension adapter, a spare set of mouse feet, and the manual.
The spare feet matter more than they sound — lightweight mice make skate wear very noticeable, and having replacements on hand extends the period where the mouse still feels new.
How It Compares
Lightweight wireless options exploded after 2021. At 58g this was clearly light at launch; today there are low-50g and even sub-40g models.
On raw weight alone, it is no longer class-leading.
What keeps it relevant is the shape. Honeycomb lightweights skew symmetrical, and "right-handed ergonomic and genuinely light" is still a short list.
If you want a shell you can rest your hand on but refuse to swing 80g+, this answers that directly.
If polling rate is your priority, judge it differently. Plenty of newer mice advertise 4KHz or 8KHz.
This one's pitch is sensor accuracy, shape, and weight balance — not headline polling numbers. Shop for 8KHz explicitly if that is the requirement.
What Actually Matters in Daily Use
The things that decide satisfaction with a lightweight mouse rarely appear on a spec sheet. A honeycomb shell puts hole edges under your fingers, and opinions split on that feel.
If you can handle one in a store, pay attention to how the edges press when you lift the mouse.
Charging habits change too. The ~110-hour figure should be read as a favorable-conditions number; leaving RGB on all day will cut it.
Because it also runs wired, a flat battery never means you stop playing — plug in the USB-C cable and keep going.
Before You Buy
A perforated shell is not for everyone. It helps if your hands sweat, but dust and crumbs get inside.
Cleaning it thoroughly without disassembly is difficult, so plan on periodic compressed-air sessions. If that upkeep sounds annoying, a solid-shell lightweight will make you happier.
It is too small for large hands. The Minus is a size down from the standard Model D.
Palm-grippers with big hands end up gripping harder to compensate. Look at the full-size Model D range instead.
There is no Bluetooth. You will always need a USB port free for the receiver.
On a laptop that is already short on ports, budget for a hub.
Expect price movement. ¥9,540 in May 2026 versus ¥10,209 in August 2026 is a meaningful gap, and an article never updates itself.
Always read the live listing price.
Listing details can disagree with the physical product. Amazon page data is seller-supplied, and seller or color fields are sometimes wrong.

Best Use Cases
- Small-to-medium hands playing FPS/TPS with a claw or fingertip grip: 58g plus the BAMF sensor handles both micro-adjustments and fast flicks, and no cable drag helps most at low sensitivity.
- Ergo users moving to lightweights: one of the few ways to keep a right-handed contour while dropping into the 50g range.
- Anyone simplifying a desk: wireless daily, wired while charging, no compromise either way.
- Buyers who care about warranty: 2 years through the Japanese authorized channel is generous for this price tier.
Skip it if you palm-grip with large hands, are left-handed, require 8KHz polling, or do not want to maintain a perforated shell.
FAQ
Q. How much difference does 58g really make? A.
Coming from a ~100g mouse, the reduction in arm strain is obvious. Some players do find very light mice harder to stop precisely, so light is not universally better.
Q. How long does the battery last? A.
Around 110 hours as rated, less with RGB lighting on. It charges over USB-C and works wired at the same time, so a dead battery never ends a session.
Q. Does it work on a Mac? A.
macOS is supported and it works once the receiver is connected. Deeper Glorious Core customization is smoother on Windows.
Q. Can I connect over Bluetooth?
A. No. Only the 2.4GHz receiver or USB-C wired.
Q. Are the holes a durability problem? A.
No water resistance is claimed, so keep drinks away. Dust gets in; plan on regular compressed-air cleaning.
Q. I have large hands — will the Minus fit?
A. Probably not for a palm grip. Consider the standard-size Model D instead.
