Glorious Model O Cable Replacement

Introduction

If your cable for your Glorious Model O or O- (Model GOM-GWHITE) is having disconnecting issues or the braided cord has a rip, this guide can show you how to replace your cable.

The mouse cord transmits data between your mouse and computer. If this cord is damaged the mouse will be unresponsive, randomly disconnect, and have sudden movement. Before using this guide, make sure you try connecting your mouse to other USB ports to see if its not a USB port issue. A good practice is also unplugging your mouse before removing your cable.

For external resources and software, Glorious has software and user manuals on their website Software & Manuals.

Gently lift the bottom of the mouse.
Be careful not to lift it up too high, because of the LED light strips that are still connected.
Lift the front of the mouse. Gently free the front of the mouse from those hooks.

Lifting up the mouse just a bit is going give you room to see the LED light strips.
Push up on the pins that hold them down.
There are 2 LED light strips. Repeat the same process with the left one.

Insert your new cable starting at the front.
There are little rods that hold the cable. Line your cable on the inside of those rods.
Plug in your cable connector. There needs to be a click.
If you don't hear the click that means that its not properly connected.
