Razer - Orochi V2 Lightweight Optical Gaming Mouse With 950 Hour Battery Life - Wireless - White

Razer markets this mouse as a travel mouse for laptop gamers, but it feels and performs like a top-tier gaming mouse. $40 on sale is a steal. It easily beats the G305 by being significantly lighter and it doesn’t feel cheap. Depending on what shape you prefer, this might be better than the Viper Ultimate. I have large hands and switch between fingertip and a claw/palm hybrid grip comfortably. This is my GO-TO FPS gaming mouse, accompanied by the Basilisk Ultimate for everyday ergonomic usage. The wireless USB dongle did have some hiccups at first with connection, and I found out it works best on USB 3.0. I’ve heard some units may need a firmware update. But once I got it working it is fast and accurate- Going wireless is so worth it. It comes with a AA battery which works well, but I swapped in a rechargeable AAA to shave off even more weight. The only thing extra I’d like is RGB, but for the price I can’t complain about that being cut out.

I got this initially to use it for my laptop and nothing more, but it has now become my daily driver for my desktop. I play a lot of FPS games, and this thing's perfect for me as a person who prefers that claw-grip for my mice. The fact that it's powered by actual AAA or or AA batteries gives it amazing battery life. They also act as weights for the mouse if you're into that kinda thing. The sensor is actually really responsive, and the surface up top has this texture to it that's not so smooth that it gets all slippery when you sweat, but it's not rough to the point where it feels low quality. I've included a size comparison to the Logitech G305, which is slightly longer, and more flat than the Orochi V2. It was also my previous mouse.

I've used a few wireless devices like this, but have never liked them for gaming. There always seems to be a little lag, especially when using Bluetooth. I don't have an ounce of lag with this mouse. Also, this model can use either AA or AAA batteries, which is kind of neat. It has both Bluetooth and standard wireless operation with a dongle. The only reason I gave it 4 stars rather than five is because I've had random disconnect issues. It seems to simply stop working for a few seconds and then reconnect. After running a firmware update and installing the latest Razer software, I haven't had any problems. I honest don't like the Razer software on my computers, though. It tries to take control of way too many systems in Windows. I do like the mouse, though.

The Orochi V2 is spot on for accessibility and portability, especially if you like to game on the go when you're traveling, this is hands-down a winner for both the customization of DPI settings and even the price! This was a steal when I purchased it. Between the 2.4Ghz switch and Bluetooth, you don't necessarily see a difference, but being able to Bluetooth this to your other devices at the flick of the switch is pretty handy. When the mouse is not in use, flick the switch off, and the battery is still doing wonderfully after 2 weeks of use. I'm active-duty military, so the size of this mouse going with me in my go bag, when I'm gaming or doing schoolwork is plus. Also, for those people that have about a male size L or XL in gloves, this works well for me with the size of my hand.) as for females if you have a small hand, this works snug like a bug! You know the saying, if the shoe fits, wear it! Overall, if you're not trying to shell out too much for a nice gaming mouse, the Orochi is for you. Razer has done a good job over the years making mouses incredibly great, as well as the software to make the fine tweaks with Synapse.

Really loving this mouse. I swapped from a Glorious Model O wireless and I'm glad I did and don't miss that one ever. Definitely a good mouse for anyone with a small-med hand/palm. definitely great for claw grippers for gaming or everyday use. Light and comfortable, but doesn't feel cheap at all. Clicks on all the buttons are nice and crisp, super satisfying. My only cons for this mouse are that it doesn't use an internal battery and uses either a AA or AAA battery (+1 to Razer for including battery in the box though) and that it requires Razer software to make any changes to performance. Overall solid mouse at the price point where there is definitely a lot of competition
