Software has all you need, though the lowest you can go is 400 DPI and some people who moved from Logitech like me used to use 200/350 DPI have to adapt to 400. When you're looking to switch out your skates, you’ll need to choose replacements that fit your specific model of mouse due to each mouse having a different layout on its base where the skates are installed. The exception being brands who use the same mouse chassis for multiple models, but that will be mentioned on the skates product description. The final con, SQUEAKY SCROLL WHEEL. I’m a bit angry because I paid 4K for this only to develop a scroll wheel problem in 1 week. Other’s wont be as bothered as me, but if I’m paying good money for a mouse I want it to work perfectly in all ways. Now even with headphones on I can hear this scroll wheel going SQUEAK SQUEAK SQUEAK and it’s annoying as hell, rant over. The skates stop gliding as easily after a bit, so they still do well but the smoothness you experience on the first day isn’t consistent after that.
We've converted this review to Test Bench 1.2. This update simplifies our Weight test and expands on our CPI test from Test Bench 1.1, resulting in changes to test results in both sections. For more details, you can see our complete changelog here.
I’ve been using this mouse for 1 week 3 days now. Mostly been using it to play Apex, Valorant and a bit of roblox, which is funny because I spent 4000 rupees on this mouse to play roblox, lol. I used a Logitech G102 before this and comparatively, it’s much better however I’m not going to go in depth in G102 vs Model D, since we already know what wins. Due to the honeycomb design, you’ll collect an insane amount of dust depending on your environment. For me, the design is as much an aesthetic choice as anything else. I can't tell you how much weight the mouse loses because of the holes, or whether they make a meaningful impact on its movement. I can tell you that it looks sharp and interesting. The dedicated DPI indicator can be set to any value and colors you choose (requires software), so you always know your value when adjusting on the fly.
Be careful when using the hairdryer too, as you want to avoid overheating the mouse, which can cause damage to your mouse (plastic melting or warping) and also cause injury to yourself, so proceed with caution. At the same time, other areas are more limited than what you get with a mouse from a big-name brand. For instance, the software offers only a small number of lighting patterns and effects. You can create custom profiles with different DPI presets, button mapping, and so on, but can't sync profiles to specific games and apps. Likewise, the Model D has no onboard memory, so you can't easily bring your profiles with you, though you can export and transfer them externally. It All Starts With the Basics Once you have your replacement mouse skates in hand, it's now time to remove your old ones from the base of the mouse. There are a few different methods to do this, but we’ll cover the main, most reliable method (in our opinion):

Choosing between the Model D- and Model O- will come down to comfort, and that depends on your hand, shape, size and grip. Both Minus models will feel more comfortable to smaller hands and claw grips. The larger variants will fill out a palm nicely for palm and hybrid grip players, and are naturally better suited to larger digits and pads. Plus, the Model D- is lighter than the Model D. Less visually appealing is the branding on the Model D-. The snooty reputation of the so-called Glorious PC Gaming Race is embodied through a picture of its mascot where your thumb goes, as well as on the mouse’s underside. There’s also a more forgivable and smaller “Glorious” stamp on the right side. Due to the honeycomb design, you’ll collect an insane amount of dust depending on where you’re sitting and unfortunately for me, I sit next to a 6ft open door which means the dust particles think my setup is mumbai train station, so I can see a lot of dust inside my model D. Also, don’t spill water or any liquid on the mouse or else you will be crying that whole week. Finally, once the grip tape is properly applied, use a sharp hobby knife or scissors to trim any excess grip tape from around the edges of your mouse. Trimming the edges gives your mouse a clean and finished look. Its a really good mouse, great sensor, light, feels great in hand, only thing id worry about is build quality, obvs because its perforated, it would probably break after having a heavy textbook dropped on it. But if you don't really put your mouse in those type of situations then you're good.
