Peter Donnell / 4 years ago

Razer has announced their new Orochi V2 gaming mouse! The compact, ultra-lightweight wireless gaming mouse is capable of over 900 hours of use from a single AA battery, so even the most enthusiastic user will not need a fresh battery for a couple of months. The Orochi V2 comes equipped with ultra-low-latency Razer HyperSpeed Wireless technology and 2nd-gen Razer Mechanical Mouse Switches, making it a fairly high-end approach to the humble wireless mouse.

The Orochi V2 was designed to deliver gamers a portable, high-performance gaming mouse that is small enough to slip into the pocket or in a carry bag. While I prefer a larger mouse myself, I can certainly see the market for something a little more portable. Plus, Razer HyperSpeed multi-device support allows gamers to connect their Razer Orochi V2 and wireless keyboard to a single USB dongle, saving up an additional USB port for other purposes, which is a huge advantage on some laptops or notebooks.

“Gamers shouldn’t have to sacrifice performance for portability,” said Alvin Cheung, Senior Vice President of Razer’s Peripherals Business Unit. “The Orochi V2 uses state-of-the-art gaming-grade components combined with unique lightweight design features, making it the ideal portable gaming mouse.”

Ultra-lightweight universal design for all grip styles

Weighing less than 60 grams (excluding batteries), the Orochi V2’s ultra-lightweight design has been created by Razer’s expert engineers and honed with the feedback from mouse enthusiasts, to give a symmetrical design, making the Orochi V2 a natural fit for many different grip styles.

The tapered ends on the Orochi V2 provide a solid grip for quick, controlled flicks, while a raised back arch ensures a secure palm fit for less fatigue in extended sessions. Topped with a thumb-groove contour for stronger thumb grip and optimized side buttons for ease of access, the Orochi V2 allows users to dial in their focus on both work and play.

The Orochi V2 lasts over 900 hours of continuous usage in Bluetooth mode, ideal for mobile computing. Alternatively, gamers can select Razer HyperSpeed Wireless, for up to 425 hours of uninterrupted, lag-free connection.

Additionally, the Orochi V2 features 100% PTFE mouse feet and an ultra-responsive 5G advanced optical sensor, resulting in a mouse that is the perfect add-on to any laptop user who wants the best mouse for both productivity and performance.
