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

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.

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.
