Razer Orochi V2 - Mobile Wireless Gaming Mouse with up to 950 Hours of Battery Life (Ultra Lightweight Design, HyperSpeed Wireless and Bluetooth, 2nd Gen Mechanical Mouse Switches) Black

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!

Now, let's get the most important point out of the way:- This mouse is not great if you have large hands. If you have big hands, see if you can try it out somewhere or just don't buy it.The points why you should buy it:- It feels nice in your hand, fits like a glove.- Beautiful sleek design.- High built quality, NO loose parts, crackling or bending anywhere (actually surprised, I have had mice from other big brands and this is the first that has no poor gaps, or moving plastic).- Option to use it with Bluetooth only (convenient not to have to use a dongle and works with many mobile devices) or with 2.4 GHZ dongle (can be stored inside mouse, better for latency).- Powered with AA or AAA battery (either/or, NOT both at once). Lithium batteries are more harmful to the environment and less recyclable. You can obviously also replace the battery. If a Lithium battery dies, the whole mouse can be thrown away.

I’ve been using the Razer Orochi V2 for about two weeks and find it a solid choice. It’s lightweight and comfortable, particularly for smaller hands. The option to use either AA or AAA batteries is practical, and the dual connectivity with Bluetooth and wireless adds flexibility.The mouse is better suited for right-handed use, but I find it usable as an ambidextrous user. I chose the Roblox colourway because it was significantly cheaper than the more attractive options. While I'm not a fan of Roblox, the design is neutral enough that it doesn’t matter. Overall, the mouse performs well and offers good value.

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).

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.

I absolutely love this mouse, the extra buttons on the side are perfect for switching music ( or whatever you want them for) and the mouse feels nice and comfortable, its wireless mode is flawless. As with lots of mice you can easily toggle the sensitivity and it has an app where you can basically change any function you want. It’s fairly quiet but still has a nice click to it, I use this every day for gaming and business. Colour is gorgeous! I have quite small hands and sometimes mice can be uncomfortable or too big but this fits perfectly! Definitely recommend!
