Razer Orochi V2 Mobile Wireless Gaming Mouse: Ultra Lightweight - 2 Wireless Modes - Up to 950 Hr Battery Life - Mechanical Mouse Switches - 5G Advanced 18K DPI Optical Sensor - Quartz Pink

Unfortunately, Razer discontinued their pink Viper Ultimate, so I grabbed this as a replacement (pretty much the only pink Razer option left 😭). The size difference threw me off for like a day because the Viper Ultimate is longer, slimmer, and somehow lighter. Once I popped the AA battery into the Orochi, it actually ended up heavier than my old Viper. I ended up liking the Orochi more! The movement feels smoother, the sensitivity feels way better, and overall it just handles nicer for me. The only issue I had was with connectivity. I tried using Bluetooth at first, but it kept making me do random 360s in games (tragic). I switched to the wifi mode and the problem disappeared instantly. Overall: super comfy mouse, works great once it’s on the right connection, and it’s pink so obviously that’s bonus points. :D

My previous Razer Orochi V2 kept disconnecting from Bluetooth, making it frustrating to use. I took a chance on replacing it with a new one, and that problem seems to have been fixed. Not much else to add - fantastic mouse, nice small size (but not too small - I have big hands) for portability, powered from either an AA or AAA battery that seems to last forever. Tip: get one of those USB-C rechargeable AA batteries to turn this into a USB-C chargeable mouse.

Honestly, I didn’t expect much from a $29 mouse, but it surprised me in the best way. The shape fits my hand really well—actually feels more comfortable than my $100 Basilisk V3 Pro. If you’re getting bored of the usual G502-style mice, this one has a really nice alternative shape that feels super ergonomic. I also love the color in person; it looks great on my desk. For the price, it’s an amazing value and definitely worth trying.

Gaming performance: Used for light gaming and general use. Seems great . Lightweight. can use AA or AAA. Battery life is good. uses bluetooth or dongle. Functionality: the side buttons can get hit by accident. the center sensitivity button can also get pressed easily. the battery access panel is also kinda weird. Feels like I can break the plastic popping the top cover off.

So I have big hands and what any big hand gamer understands is that you either have to get a big ol heavy G502 size mouse or use a certain grip to hold all these mice for smaller handed people. I previously owned a Model O, G pro, and Model O wireless. Having big hands my biggest peeve with all the other mice is that they’re ambidextrous mice so they are even harder to hold with fingertip/claw grips because the smooth, near flat, symmetrical sides. I only really make contact with the sides by pinching my fingers with them. I never make contact with the butt or base of the mouse with my grip. There’s where the Orochi changes things The Orochi somehow is a smaller mouse than all of the above but fills out my hand and grip SO much better. The sides actually have slight grooves so I don’t slip off the sides of my mouse and the shorter but bigger hump in the middle makes me for once actually feel the mouse in my palm if I want. Overall the feel is amazing. Battery life varies of course but I can barely tell there’s a battery in the thing even when flicking and the weight and balance of it feel so good. Mobile gaming is the main reason I got this mouse. I like that the dongle stores inside the mouse, uses batteries so I don’t have to worry about keeping it charged or bringing around extra cables to charge it, and the Bluetooth is good for casual gaming but doesn’t do great with big flicks so the 2.4ghz connection is required for esports games. Overall a great mouse and really awesome to game with and a little plus to it is that the shell comes off the back so satisfying, it’s hard to not fidget with it by taking it on and off haha. Well worth the money and I’d expect they’ll make a rechargeable one with all the success this mouse has accrued so far so if the swappable batteries don’t tickle your pickle, I’d just buy a sub $20 rechargeable battery station or just wait for a new rechargeable Orochi to come out.

Very good responsive mouse, use on the go with a laptop Click louder than average

TLDR: Ask ChatGPT about this mouse and it'll tell you that other users have reported issues with this mouse not clicking properly. It will tell you that this is a known issue with this mouse. So I'm an IT expert (programmer, been using PC's since Windows 3.1). And I could not get this mouse to work right. The mouse doesn't work right when the computer goes to sleep, and then wakes from sleep. This problem occurs on Windows 11 pro. When the mouse is connected in Bluetooth mode: First problem is, the mouse will NOT reconnect to the PC when the PC wakes from sleep, unless you have "Show notifications to connect using Swift Pair" disabled in windows Bluetooth settings. But setting is on by default. Second problem is, even with this setting disabled, and even if the mouse successfully reconnects when the computer wakes up, the computer will NOT accept clicks when it wakes up. This mouse apparently drops a phantom click that it never releases. The only way I could find to get rid of that phantom click is by pressing CTRL+ALT+DEL every time the computer wakes. This resets the phantom click and the mouse would function normally. But it's super annoying to have to press CTRL+ALT+DEL every time the PC wakes, especially since this mouse is supposed to be a gift to my little girl, I don't want her to have to deal with it not working perfectly. Also the mouse would sometimes stop accepting clicks even in the middle of playing games, but this only happened rarely in Bluetooth mode. On the wireless USB mode: The mouse cursor is NOT visible when windows first boots. You can't use the mouse to get to the box to type your PIN number to unlock the computer. You must use the keyword to get into windows, and then the cursor appears. This problem doesn't happen when using the mouse in Bluetooth mode, only in the wireless USB mode. And then the phantom click issue is MUCH more frequent in the wireless USB mode, and doesn't require the computer to wake from sleep, but happens randomly even in the middle of playing games... suddenly you can't click anything. And when waking from sleep, or when the mouse "goes to sleep", when it wakes up there's issues with clicks... and sometimes the cursor isn't even visible. Connecting a second mouse: When the computer stops accepting clicks, then even the second mouse would not be able to click. All connected mouses would stop being able to click. But this problem of not being able to click, would ONLY occur if the Razor Orochi V2 mouse was connected to the computer either via Bluetooth or wireless USB. If I disconnected the Orochi V2 mouse, then the problem never happens. So it's definitely this mouses's fault. But initially I didn't realize this mouse was the culprit. Because it affected all connected mice. So I thought, at first, that it was a windows issue... maybe a bad driver I had installed in the past. So I ended up reinstalling windows, trying to fix any potential driver issues. It wasn't until after that, when I discovered that the problem was this mouse all along. I was super upset to have reinstalled windows, and lost all my software and settings, only to then discover that the problem was still there and it was this mouse all along. As for getting my money back, amazon did not offer me an option to return the mouse and get a replacement. It only lets me send it back for a full refund. No option for replacement. So I think I bought this mouse when it was on sale. So it seems like they are expecting me to send it back, and then repurchase it at the new higher price, if I want to try it again. It's possible mine was simply defective. I did every imaginable thing to try to get this mouse to work. The mouse I had was brand new from Razor, but it was running an old firmware. I did a firmware update to version 1.03.00 (it was running version 1.02.00 when it arrived). I can confirm that firmware update did NOT fix the problem with the phantom clicks. I also set all the related devices in my device manager to not go to sleep, including the USB slots. That did NOT fix the problem with the phantom clicks. I also, at the advice of chatGPT, did a bunch of registry edits, none of which fixed the problem. I also, at the advice of chatGPT, wrote my own c# application, which attempted in various ways to force the mouse to release the phantom click, at least when the computer would wake up. I was trying to mimic the behavior of pressing CTRL+ALT+DEL. After many hours of coding, I was unable to programmatically correct the problems with this mouse. I really wanted this mouse to work because it's wireless, and its small, so it fits my daughter's hand. I'm now having to return this mouse at my time and expense, no option for replacement, lost whatever discount I got from the previous sale, and I lost days of my life trying to fix this mouse, and I lost some of my software and settings from the reinstallation of windows, so I have work to do just to get my daughter's computer back to normal again. Terrible experience. Conclusion: Ask ChatGPT about this mouse and it'll tell you that other users have reported issues with this mouse not clicking properly. It will tell you that this is a known issue with this mouse.

I’ve used several different mice over the years, this has to be in my top favorites. I’ll start with some of my likes for this, it’s light weight and very responsive. It gives you the choice of Bluetooth or dongle, as well as you can use a AA or AAA battery making it convenient to use. The buttons on the side are customizable using Razers software, but I don’t personally use them much. There are a few things I don’t like about it, but I don’t find them to be deal breakers. Firstly Bluetooth connectivity can be a bit frustrating, the pairing setup is a bit janky but does work. It also can only connect to one device and remember that one, meaning if you dual boot like I do you can only use the Bluetooth on one OS or else you’ll be resetting it every time. Other than that it’s amazing and I very much so recommend this mouse.
