Overall amazing mouse for a more budget friendly setup. The only thing I would suggest is considering a different option if you have larger hands as you won’t be able to hold it comfortably.
So to get started – if you’re planning on using this using the 2.4 dongle – stop reading; buy away. Great mouse, very comfortable and battery life is great – you can use AA / AAA battery (or mixture of both).
On the other hand, the BT side of it is very problematic – I have about 45 “default” profiles that get made by Synapse for every time the mouse goes on sleep.
Lately it has even stopped reconnecting straight away; I have to mess around with it to trigger the BT to reconnect. (Before you say it might be device-related; I’ve tested this using 3 different machines with the same outcome – quite easy to reproduce).
The Orochi V2 is lightweight and extremely comfortable to use with multiple grips; I don’t personally play many games on PC, but it’s gotten me through long sessions of uni work. On connecting it to a PC for the first time it will prompt you to install Razer software which can be used to remap buttons and customise settings (your preferences can be saved to the mouse itself, so you don’t have to download and configure software on every device you use), but this isn’t necessary for general use. Both USB and Bluetooth connectivity work without hiccups and like other Logitech mice you can store the USB adaptor beside the battery slot when not in use or for travelling. Battery life is excellent and you can use either AA or AAA batteries for convenience. The white edition also looks very nice and any marks come off easily. I’m very happy with this mouse!
Very comfortable and light mouse. Nice positive button action. Can’t really comment on the battery life as I’ve only been using it for a few months. I never switch it to the off position and the battery is still good. Using the supplied dongle instead of Bluetooth. Very accurate and much better than my previous mouse (Microsoft wired mouse).
I have plenty of razer products. I only wanted to purchase this to connect to my ipad air. This connects easily with no issues. Feels very light but well built. I bought this for 25 so i am happy and you know razer products have a quality packaging and product. I will not recommend to use this for gaming though as the size can be a little small for a normal sized hand. I only use this to travel and for my ipad as stated and i am happy with it. The mouse is very responsive and has a texture to the external back for better grip. In terms of aesthetics, it looks ok, all black with a engraved razer logo on palm. It doesn’t have the fancy razer rgb you expect from them usually but this will save you power and last longer for travel. It uses one AA battery which came with the product but also has another slot in the mouse for AAA Battery which i have not used and still works perfectly.
All in all i am happy with another razer product on the go!
I cannot seem to get rid of the judder, ive played with windows settings, Razer settings and its juddery when i’m trying to be precise on excel documents. I cannot get rid of it.
Great very light wireless mouse. Battery position in the mouse seems like really well thought – mouse feels well balanced. No sensor issues noticed in month of use. I have mid size hand and mouse shape feels really good. Everything is great except gliders maybe. I feel they tend to stick out. Lack of glue on them or what but it has no effect on performance. Just looks a bit strange. I would definitely recommend this mouse
it is just a tad too small for my hands but I’ll manage…..if only it was 1cm longer. Mouse goes to sleep if untouch after a while to conserve power, which is good as I often leave the mouse on when I go to sleep. Not exactly use out of the box as the razer app would need to be used to tailor fit the mouse. Nice switch on top of the mouse to switch inbetween the dpi. Overall not as good as the Logitech SuperLight Pro X G but for the price, its a winner.
If like me, you’re a bit fed up with all these mice that have so many features that they need to be the size of a small car then this mouse is great.
Only downside is that it won’t have all those features that make other mice oversized.
I basically think the G305 is the greatest mouse of all time so I’ve been sat here waiting for a lightweight version for a long time. When I first saw the Orochi V2 I had high hopes. I’ve waited a while to make sure any kinks are knocked out, it was worth the wait.
I did have a problem with the first one in the fact it wobbled from side to side, that was the black model so I tried the white and it’s perfectly flat.
The mouse comes with a AAA lithium battery which is a great touch, it keeps the weight down. You can choose between AA and AAA in the mouse which is great. I put the AAA in a converter and in the AA spot for better weight distribution. It feels great.
I connected the mouse and it got picked up by synapse straight away, the firmware updated automatically. I calibrated the surface as well so it’s running tip top.
The stock skates are excellent, really slippy, had no problem with my aim in apex or cod.
In the hand it feels fantastic, it’s smaller than the g305 but fills my hand well. There’s a slight groove to the left of the mouse for the thumb and it feels really comfortable.
The clicks are snappy, not oo spongey.
Overall this is probably going to be my new main, until a lightweight g305 comes out anyway!
This has been my best purchase this year. I play games so I wasn’t sure about getting wireless mouse, but the level of comfort it provides is incredible. I haven’t noticed weaker performance in comparison to wired ones. The USB dongle makes it easy to plug into any computer. I have been switching between my work and personal PC with no trouble and I have been really enjoying this mouse. It looks quite sleek and minimal as well. Highly recommend.
I’d tried many Bluetooth mice before Orochi v2 (including “premium” ones) and always went back to a wired mouse. Orochi v2 is the first Bluetooth mouse that I didn’t end up dumping. The tracking and Bluetooth signal are very reliable. The mouse is super light-weight and I was wondering today how much battery life this thing actually have?
I got mine 174 days ago and have never swapped the battery. I also used it with USB transmitter some of that time. I’m working from home 4 days a week and usually do software development outside of my main job for a few hours a day. I’m definitely over 950 hours at this point. Simply insane!
This mouse is comfortable to hold in hand and fits small hands as it is really small. It has two battery slots. Dual channel connection, bluetooth and usb are available. Overall very happy with it.
I purchased this mouse about a month ago and so far it’s been fine to a degree. All I can say is that the left mouse button needs a noticeable more amount of pressure to be clicked than the right which isn’t the best for a gaming mouse built for a fast input. One reason for this may be that the shell doesn’t stay fixed onto the body of the mouse because the magnets aren’t very strong, so every time I click, the shell comes up at the back which can be annoying. However there is more good than bad. The scroll wheel feels nice to touch and has a nice feel when used. The glide of the mouse is very smooth, with a nice feel in the hand.
The price vs what you get is simply amazing. I have used the Razer Viper Ultimate before and this feels better quality. The size for me is perfect (in between medium and large hands). And the battery placement is smart. Instead of off to the right or left of the back they have given you 2 options of either 1 AA or 1 AAA, which are diagonally positioned in the middle towards the back evenly distributing the weight. Also, the Battery life lasts longer than what is advertised if you turn on idle settings in the software as it turns the mouse off/low power mode when you are not using it to save battery life.
This was my first jump to a wireless mouse and I am pleasently surprised. I have fairly large hands but find this mouse fine to use in a fingertip style grip. The texture is just grippy enough without being distracting and all the buttons have a good crispness to them. Overall I am very happy with this mouse and won’t be going back to wired anytime soon.
I personally think that not having a rechargable battery is a plus, it means it has longer life than if it had a built in battery.
I didn’t think that this mouse would work well on Mac as well as it does and replace my Razer Viper Ultimate on PC. I think I might sell my Viper Ultimate as nice as it is, the Orochi feels as nice to use, I prefer the smaller size, bettery battery life I only forego the RGB lighting.
This mouse is amazing if you play with claw/fingee tip hybrids. In fact it’s so good that I got a second one just to use at work.
Unfortunately it came with weird issue where sometimes my left click does not register at all so I will be returning and getting another one ( again ), I suppose it happenes but still annoying.
Overall probably a better mouse than the new superlight if your hands on the smaller side.
Can’t really say much more. I was looking for a small, portable mouse for my laptop with which I could game with when travelling, as I didn’t want to drag my DM1 FPS along with me (old SS Sensei clone). It weighs nearly 10g less, which initially threw off my muscle memory, but I readjusted after a couple of hours. Honestly, this mouse could easily replace my main – there’s no pre-travel on the buttons, clicks are crisp, absolutely no issues with the sensor, no RGB (which these days is a godsent, especially in a wireless mouse), really good stock skates and it’s pretty much plug&play if you’re fine with the stock DPI settings. Not a huge fan of the Razer software though, but it’s a small price to pay.
So far, I probably clocked about 50 hours of game time on the battery they provided, so I can’t exactly comment on the it’s battery life. The shape is quite comfy, unless you’ve got giant hands – mine are slightly above average and I did feel some fatigue after some time (though it could be because of the different grip style I had to use, since i could BARELY claw-grip it).
All in all, great mouse, would recommend.
The switches feel nice as do the thumb buttons. The battery is nicely balanced but you do have to use tinfoil or an adapter with a AAA in the AA slot. With a AA in the normal slot or a AAA in the normal slot it feels too back heavy. The stock feet feel fine but I would have to use it more to see how much they wear.
One of the downsides is that the marketing is very shady. The battery life marketing is stuffed full of bs because the mouse has a gaming mode and a normal Bluetooth which saves battery but you realistically will never use it. God knows how long the batteries actually last. The weight is borderline false advertising. 60g without a battery even though it’s a battery mouse. Wth razer? You’re making a good mouse and you still decide to lie?
I hope the v3 goes rechargeable because battery mice are a pain no matter what.
>>>WHAT’S IN THE BOX?
In the nice (and, yay, mostly cardboard) retail packaging, you’ll find the mouse itself, a single AA battery, some instructions and some stickers. Because we all need stickers.
>>>FIRST IMPRESSIONS?
When I popped it out of its box, the first thing that struck me about the Orochi v2 was how unbelievably light it was. Seriously, it’s probably about the same weight as a packet of salt’n’vinegar crisps. The second thing that struck me was that I wasn’t immediately enamoured with the material that the mouse is made from; although it feels well-constructed, the plastic isn’t very premium-feeling – and I’m assuming that this material was chosen for its featherlight weight rather than its aesthetic appeal. Rather thankfully however, the mouse is very comfortable to hold, and I find that my fingers and thumb reach all of the buttons nicely.
Design-wise, it’s very subtle – there’s very little about this mouse that gives any clue that it’s a 70 gaming mouse, rather unlike many of it’s RGB-adorned brethren – and this is something that I find very appealing, so brownie points go to Razer for this.
>>>CONNECTIVIY & SETUP
An interesting thing about this squeaker is that there are two ways to connect it to your computer; you can use the supplied USB receiver (found inside the mouse) or you can connect it via Bluetooth – and this duality in connection is something I’ve never seen on a mouse before.
You’re best off connecting it via USB for the first time to get it set up, as once you pop the USB receiver into your computer, the Razer Cortex/Synapse installer runs automatically and is very straightforward to install and get things up and running. More on the software in a bit.
>>>CLICKS AND MOVEMENT
All of the buttons on the mouse have very positive-feeling microswitches, with the exception of the scroll-wheel, which feels a little less positive – but it feels nice and clicky nonetheless. The left-click on my Orochi v2 is pretty loud and took a little while to get used to as my previous mouse was pretty quiet, but it’s by no means a deal breaker.
I’ve done some testing to see if I can detect any difference between the mouse when it’s connected via USB and Bluetooth, and I have to say that there is indeed a bit of a difference. When connected via USB, the movement is precise and smooth, but when connected via Bluetooth, things move slightly less smoothly, but this might be down to the fact that I’ve got a 165Hz screen and it might look less obvious on screens with a lower refresh rate. In any case, you can easily switch between both of them, but it would definitely be advantageous to use the USB connection when playing games in which precision is required.
Taking a look at the underside of the mouse, you’ll see that it has two large (somewhat oversized!) gliding pads at its front and rear, and an additional ring of the same gliding material around its optical sensor – which means that it moves incredibly smoothly; possibly more smoothly than any mouse I’ve ever used. I’m using it on my Steelseries QcK polycarbonate pad and the pointer moves in a silky-smooth manner even when moving the mouse incredibly slowly. When gaming, this translates to equally silky-smooth movement.
It also feels very precise and there are options to fully customise the DPI settings in the software, which is up next…
>>>SOFTWARE
As mentioned before, when you plug the Orochi v2’s USB receiver into your computer, it will automatically launch the Razer software installer. This installs two separate apps; ‘Razer Cortex’ and ‘Razer Synapse’. ‘Razer Cortex’ is a multi-function app which has a game boosting mode that does some cool things with optimisation, as it kills unimportant tasks to free up memory and system resources when you launch a game, can show your FPS count, has a system optimisation function, offers on games and a rewards system. I’ve not explored much of it yet, but it looks very good.
‘Razer Synapse’ is the app that controls the Orochi v2’s functions however, as you can use it to edit the function of the mouse’s buttons and set them to individual keys, media launchers and all sorts of stuff, which is pretty cool. Importantly, it allows you to adjust the DPI settings from a lowly 100DPI (very slow) to 18000DPI (impossibly fast), and allows you to set up to five different DPI settings which can be changed quickly by pressing the button on the top of the mouse. You can also save separate profiles if you want to assign game-specific settings to your buttons, and there are other options in there that allow you to control various other gadgets from the software, such as Philips Hue lighting, and there’s Amazon Alexa options and all sorts of other things.
All in all, the software is excellent and rather more fully-featured than I expected – so it’s definitely an excellent bonus on top of a great piece of hardware.
>>>BATTERY LIFE
I’m writing this bit a couple of months after buying this mouse, and so far I have to say that its battery life has been fantastic; but I was marred by a collection of out-of-date AA batteries (which have now been chucked!) that at least allowed me to see if there was any difference in battery life when connected via USB versus connecting via Bluetooth, and… Well, there’s a huge difference! It would seem that the battery life when connecting via USB is considerably shorter than it is when connecting via Bluetooth; I can’t quantify this with figures as I wasn’t timing it, but I would say that you get roughly a third extra period of battery life when connecting via Bluetooth. This is, of course, served with the caveat that the movement is more precise and smooth when connecting via USB, but if you’re all about preserving battery life, I’d recommend connecting via Bluetooth when you’re doing everything other than gaming.
>>>CONCLUSION
The Razer Orochi v2 is an excellent all-rounder of a mouse, which offers more connectivity and customisation options than most, is very comfortable and precise to use, and comes with an excellent bundle of software. It’s definitely a winner.
