I’m going to geek out for a bit, since that’s what Razer wants me to do; the box for their Orochi Bluetooth laser gaming mouse is indication enough of that. It’s all Matrix green and black with silver accents. It showcases the Orochi as if it were a device hallowed from the future, or at least some sort of dangerous weapon. The box contains practically secret compartments for the manuals, and even includes a carrying case. This isn’t just a mouse, it’s a personal tool. You know the guy who comes to pool hall with his own cue he assembles after removing it from a brief case? That’s you with this mouse.
And why? Because it has a 4,000dpi Razer Precision™ 3G Laser sensor? According to Razer, standard mice these days top off at 800dpi. Do you need five times more movement speed? If you’re reading this review, I’m assuming you do. It doesn’t necessarily translate into faster turns and movement when engaging in the frantic action of a first-person shooter, for example, but I noticed greater precision, especially when trying some intricate targeting in games such as Bioshock, and that was welcome.
If you’re a Windows user, Razer also brags about their Razer Synapose™ on-board memory and On-the-Fly Sensitivity™ adjustment (wired mode only). Having tested the Orochi with my MacBook, I wasn’t able to try these features. Rather, I was left with basic sensitivity, acceleration and polling rate adjustments. The Orochi allows for separate X-Y sensitivity adjustments. This is an excellent feature for games where the need to turn left and right quickly is more crucial than the ability to look up and down, but it’d be nice to be able to save settings for certain games so I don’t have to keep adjusting this. PC gamers will get to do that, as well assign functions to the nine buttons, but Mac users are left only with what Razer has pre-programmed.
Another geek moment; you can choose to have the scroll wheel and battery indicator light up LED blue. Very cool, and totally pointless, which is why I love it.
In my opinion, however, none of this is as important as the ability to use the Orochi through Bluetooth only (requiring two AA batteries for power) or via the detachable USB cable. The cord itself is a feature; lightweight and braided to allow for easy movement while preventing coiling and tangling. Wired is obviously best for gaming (better response time and no low-battery hassles), but sometimes you need the freedom of wireless. That Razer gives you the choice is fantastic. I preferred USB for both gaming and general use, but I recommend keeping batteries in there, too. Without them, the mouse is too light; it doesn’t feel substantial in movement, giving it an odd feel. Also, as indicated previously, PC users will lose some of the functionality when going wireless. Mac users don’t get that functionality to begin with.
The Orochi is designed for mobile use, so it’s smaller than your standard desktop mouse. It has a wide base that allows for comfortable thumb/pinky placement and easy side button access (the ambidextrous design accommodates all gamers), but it’s squat. The highest point of the mouse rests beneath the base of your fingers, not your palm. The result is that my wrist was pressing down on the desk, which proved uncomfortable after a while.
The Razer Orochi is a solid, capable mouse, but I’ll only recommend it if you need a compact mobile gaming mouse. At $79.99, you can get a Razer mouse with much better functionality if you’re willing to sacrifice Bluetooth or the small size. Mac users won’t be happy about the inability to customize the button functions or create individual profiles for games, but if you’re a hardcore PC gamer who feels the need to frag from a hotel room, the Razer Orochi will make sure you don’t lose your edge (good luck with the hotel WiFi service, however).
Razer keeps pumping out products :X Currently bought their $40 Destructor mouse pad and I have to say it's amazing. As for gaming mice, I currently upgraded from Microsoft's Sidewinder to the updated Sidewinder x8 and being a person with big hands xD It works great. Only wireless mouse I ever purchased which has like no lag what so ever :ID
It ' very Cool for me . I Want to have it.
