What it is

Glorious CORE is free software for configuring most Glorious gaming gear on Windows and macOS. It adjusts RGB lighting, macros, keybindings, DPI sensitivity, and polling rate, and supports onboard device memory. Glorious recommends CORE for full feature control and firmware updates, though its products work out of the box. CORE does not support GMMK 1 or the Model O/O- Wired (V1) and Model D/D- Wired (V1) mice; the maker provides legacy software for those products and lists CORE V1 as a legacy download. The Windows requirement is Windows 10 or later. The macOS download requires macOS Big Sur through Sonoma and an Apple M1 or later. A Glorious ID is not needed to configure products, but is required to save profiles to the cloud. Owners of 4KHz/8KHz PRO Series mice need CORE to use polling rates above 1KHz. The maker says CORE receives feature, bug-fix, and functionality updates. It can check for updates at launch when automatic updates are enabled, or users can check manually in settings. Glorious directs software users to customer support by email and live chat.
