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

I am on my computer often (hours a day for work and play). I gamed for decades and always had the best mice. But, the last year few years I haven't gamed much and had been using something not so great. I play a game here or there again and decided I wanted something great again. I want a mouse that will last many years (something that you have to put batteries into / not rechargeable), that is fairly small and light (which I've always preferred), has no fancy lights, long battery life, responsive & accurate, and good quality / feel.This clicks all the boxes! It allows you to use a AA or a AAA; only one at a time, do not insert both. The AAA option is for the lightest weight. I admit I haven't used that option. I want the longevity of the AA over the AAA (usually rechargeable AAA's are under 1000mah, and AA's are over 2000mah - so you get 2 to 3 times more battery life with the AA). I use rechargeable batteries in everything; however, the first battery I used in this mouse is an Energizer lithium. I want to see how long it lasts with a normal high quality battery (so far, 30 days with ~7 hours of computer use a day. I never turn the mouse off, it is always switched to 2.4 and turned on when I am away from computer). With the AA the feel and balance is great. One of best feeling mice I have used. Has plenty of buttons for my uses. Extreme gamers may want more. I barely use the few extra it has. The buttons all feel good and sturdy. They should last, I hope. It looks classy, I have the white color.I like that is has both bluetooth and 2.4 modes. The 2.4 mode will give you the best performance. However, it will also cut the battery life! The bluetooth mode will give you a ton more battery life; however, you will lack some performance. I have not tested bluetooth mode at all yet, I wanted to test the mouse fully with this first battery before doing that. In the future, I may switch between bluetooth mode and 2.4 mode when I switch from normal computing to gaming. I only game say, 1 out of 7 hours I am on the computer. So, that is a potential benefit. I also like it has the bluetooth in case I want to take it anywhere for work computing, with a laptop or tablet. Then, I can leave the 2.4 usb card in my desktop at home, and still have a great mouse for on the go. When I bring it home, it's all ready again.Overall I am very happy with it after having it for a month now and using it daily. I hope it lasts for years.*Update. My mouse battery finally died for the first time on March 27, 2022. It was working perfect, then suddenly the cursor stopped moving. It lasted about 2.5 months with an Energizer Lithium (2.4ghz whole time, mouse never turned off). Not bad! I assume a good rechargeable (Eneloop) will give me at least 2 months (and with rechargeable batteries, I will just replace every 2 months (maybe even every month), just so I know my mouse will never stop working when I need it)).

felt way to light for me but worked great and the quality was okay

Love this mouse, it is lightweight and I have yet to change the batteries, unlike many other mice, this one has unnoticeable delay.

First some context for how I use this mouse. I do about an hour of aim training every day, and then anywhere from 0-8 hours of FPS gaming per day. Average of probably 2 hours of gaming per day. I have a relaxed fingertip grip, my fingertips usually rest about 1/3 of the way down from the tip of the mouse. This means I usually end up clicking near the back part of the mouse buttons. I also have pretty small hands for my height.The first thing I noticed about this mouse is how dang light it is. It comes with a 15gram AA battery to use with it. There is also a slot for a AAA battery if you want, however that slot is farther back and makes the mouse feel less centered. You can buy adaptors (usually about 3 grams) to fit a AAA lithium battery (usually about 7 grams) into the AA slot if you want, and this would shave about 5 grams off of the weight while still keeping it feeling balanced. I hadn't bought a new mouse for about 5 years, so my old G403 felt like a sack of potatoes compared to using this thing. The mouse skates are also great, nice and wide and completely pure white teflon.The second thing I noticed was the shape. It's obviously a small mouse, and I'm fine with that, but I found that I really disliked the taper on the back of the mouse. Since I have a gripstyle that sits pretty far back on the mouse, I really noticed the lack of control that my pinky now had - I had to curl my pinky in a bit. On my G403, there is a small hump back there that really helped my pinky contribute to my aim. Similarly, it felt like my thumb was contributing slightly less to my aim, although not quite to the same effect as my pinky.Everything mechanically felt great, clicks feel good and the thumb buttons feel good as well. I like the size of the thumb buttons, I wish more people made them "thin" like they are on the Orochi. I barely use the scroll wheel due to the nature of the games I play, so I can't speak to that part of the mouse.In my aim training, I noticed some immediate differences. Tracking was SOOOO much easier. My tracking scores in Kovaak's literally immediately jumped up. This isn't too surprising considering that the Orochi is about 50 grams lighter than my previous mouse was (G403). However, I also had an immediate dip in my static scores. There simply is no stopping power in this mouse, and I had grown used to my G403 having a bit of friction due to weight. This is something that I adapted to over time, and I eventually ended up beating my static high scores with the Orochi after a few weeks.The coating is not great. Or really just the lack of a coating. It's like a textured ABS plastic or something, it's certainly not the most slippery thing in the world, but I would often have to re-adjust my grip after about 15 seconds of very fast tracking that covers large swaths of area. There are grip pads you can use to help with this, but personally I'd rather deal with a mild amount of slipperiness than to put a stick-on grip pad onto my mouse. I found that my grip actually ended up changing mildly because of this, my ring finger ended up resting on the right "edge" of the mouse between the top and the side. This allowed it to have a "hard" edge to grab onto.The DPI button is nicely recessed, so I never had any issues with accidentally clicking it like I've had on other mice. It's still usable if you wanted to do a DPI shift mid game for certain games where that can be advantageous.Never had a single issue with connectivity, but I also keep my mouse dongle in a spot where it should have a great connection to the mouse. The battery life is kind of insane, after 3 months of almost constant use, it still has a nearly full battery. I never really used the mouse in Bluetooth mode, so I can't speak to how that functions.Now with all of the bases covered, time for the biggest issue I had with this mouse: double clicking. My index finger rests to the far right of the left click, almost touching the scroll wheel. After about 3 months of use, I noticed that while holding down left click during tracking scenarios, I would occasionally miss a "beat" of the left click being held down. I thought it was user error, but it kept happening once in a blue moon. The click would be held down, and there would be no mechanical feedback of the click being let go or "reclicked", but it would still blip out for a bit. Then, after a little bit of this, I started to have a much larger issue - I was getting the occasional double click. Again, I thought this might be user error, but there were a couple of situations that made it extremely obvious to me. One such scenario was in Overwatch, where I shot someone as Cassidy and then instantly started channeling my ultimate, but the ultimate instantly got "used" despite me not clicking again. I also noticed it while playing Bloons TD6, where I accidentally bought two upgrades instead of a single one for one of my towers. I started looking into it and used a "double click test" that I found online that shows the latency between clicks, and I found that I could somewhat consistently (about once every 10 tries) replicate the double click situation. You can see this in the picture that I have attached, where I am clicking about every 0.8 seconds, but once there is a second click at about .28 seconds. It seems to be something with the release of the click, like if I click but *EXTREMELY SLIGHTLY* ease the pressure mid-click, the click is still being held down mechanically, but the mouse almost seems to interpret that the click was quickly let go and then re-clicked.I haven't had any issues with the right click. I also didn't have the double-click issue for several months, or if I did it was rare enough that I never noticed it.TLDR: The mouse is extremely light, feels good, slightly awkward shape, is a little slippery, insane battery life, and works well, except mine had a double click issue. If yours doesn't have the same issue, then I would recommend it for fingertip or claw grip.

Excellent mouse.At first, the fact that it uses AAA and AA batteries may seem as a hindrance, but that's until you have to deal with another mouse internal battery approaching its end of life. Sure, it can be programed with the Razer Synapse software (Razer's program it's still not good, since it seems they are still learning how to make quality software, unfortunately) but it's reliance on Razer's Synapse its quite minimal.The Orochi's white finish seems to be more durable than razers other models with the same color/finish.

This is the best mouse I've ever owned. It connects via dongle or Bluetooth. It even connects to phones and game systems. We have been using it paired with a Steam Deck for quite some time and have had no issues. It's fallen a few times onto a hard floor and still works perfect. The material is strong and doesn't get that dirty icky look (which i was afraid could happen with it being white.)
