Endgame Gear Configuration Software vs Glorious CORE

Endgame Gear Configuration Software is a free Windows utility for configuring the XM2we wireless gaming mouse. Configuration Tool V1.0 lets users remap buttons and adjust debounce time, polling rate, CPI, and lift-off distance. Polling can be set to 125, 250, 500, or 1000 Hz, with 1000 Hz listed as the default. A debounce slider has a stated default of 3 milliseconds. The mouse supports up to 19000 CPI, with 50-CPI steps from 50 to 10000 and 100-CPI steps from 10000 to 19000. Its 2 mm lift-off distance can be reduced to 1 mm through the software. The downloads page also lists XM2we firmware V1.03 for Windows and requires agreement to the End User License Agreement before downloading. The software is supplied under a personal, non-transferable, free, non-exclusive, revocable license. Endgame Gear provides Help Center and warranty-support request options.

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.
