Glorious CORE vs Rebind

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.

Rebind is a keyboard and mouse remapping engine for Windows, macOS, and Linux. Its free software mode runs Luau scripts and supports macros, sensitivity controls, per-app controls, and per-game profiles; it does not require an account or Rebind Link. Free scripts without source protection can be installed as a guest, while paid marketplace scripts require signing in and buying with credits. Developers can connect tools through Luau, HTTP, or TypeScript, Python, and Rust clients. An MCP server supports screenshots, keyboard and mouse actions, and script execution. The optional Rebind Link adds physical USB keyboard and mouse output, a dedicated onboard processor, multi-device support, and a report rate up to 8,000 Hz. It costs $199, paid once and includes 12 months of Pro, with no recurring device-license fee. The Link is backordered, and hardware attachment requires Windows or macOS; Linux capture is not implemented.
