Glorious CORE is free software for configuring most Glorious gear on Windows and macOS. It lets users adjust RGB lighting, macros, keybindings, DPI sensitivity, and polling rate, and supports onboard device memory. Glorious recommends CORE for full feature control and firmware updates, although its products work out of the box. The software does not support GMMK 1 or the Model O/O- Wired (V1) and Model D/D- Wired (V1) mice; Glorious provides legacy software for those devices and lists CORE V1 as a legacy download. Windows requires version 10 or later. The macOS download requires macOS Big Sur through Sonoma and an Apple M1 or later. A Glorious ID is not needed for configuration, but is required to save profiles to the cloud. Owners of 4KHz/8KHz PRO Series mice need CORE to use polling rates above 1KHz. CORE can check for updates at launch when automatic updates are enabled, and users can also check manually in settings.
Who it is for
CORE suits Glorious gear owners who want to customize lighting, controls, sensitivity, or polling rate. It is relevant to 4KHz/8KHz PRO Series mouse owners seeking polling rates above 1KHz.
