For a product that isn’t given the same billing as Razer’s headline brands, like the Deathadder, it’s pretty astonishing how good the company’s revision of the Orochi wireless mouse is.
There’s a lot of gaming mice out on the market, but they both suffer from a couple of problems. Firstly, many are targeted at the ultra hardcore gamers, especially the wireless offerings. The trend of honeycomb chassis isn’t for everyone, and most of the wireless mice on the market have generally been on the larger side.
If your hand is on the smaller size (especially for a lot of women, who often get ignored completely when it comes to the peripheral market), or you wanted a wireless gaming mouse that could also serve really well with laptops or an office environment, there wasn’t a lot that fit the bill really well. Also, good wireless mice could be really expensive.
Battery Life: Up to 950 hours (Bluetooth) / 425 hours (2.4GHz)
Weight: 60g (65g with battery)
Unlike a lot of other wireless gaming mice, the Orochi V2 is completely battery-powered, supporting either AA or AAA batteries depending on what you have to hand. There are compartments for both underneath its easily-removable shell (along with a small cut-out to store its wireless USB dongle), and Razer say you ll get up to an impressive 425 hours out of it when it s connected to your PC over 2.4GHz wireless, or a stonking 950 hours over Bluetooth LE. Compare that to the 60 hours you ll get on my current favourite wireless gaming mouse, the Logitech G Pro Wireless, without its RGB lighting flashing away (or 45 hours with it on), and there s simply no competition.
