Orochi Review
Razer's first gaming mouse designed for laptops, the Orochi, comes in a small size with Bluetooth connectivity.
The Razer Orochi is Razer's attempt to jump into the gaming laptops market by making a portable gaming gear. This gaming mouse features both wireless Bluetooth and wired USB modes, the sleek black mouse has a compact comfortable rubberized grip, plenty of customizable buttons, and on top of that comes with a sensitivity of up to 4000dpi.
In Bluetooth mode, the Orochi's resolution is drops down to 2000dpi, very understandable since Bluetooth technology aren't cut out for lighting speed. A USB cable plugs below the scroll wheel and between the left and right click, very similar to the Mamba. This mouse is also ambidextrous, meaning its symmetric design also supports left-handed gamers.
The Orochi is powered by two AA batteries for its wireless mode. Replacing the batteries is a breeze and a no-brainer operation. The Razer Orochi comes with a nicely zippered pouch for maximum portability, after all, this is the theme concept of creating such a mouse.
A little pricey, but if you are looking to reap the wireless benefits while not spending too much for the likes of a Naga Epic or Mamba, Orochi is the ideal choice.
