Razer Orochi Chroma USB Gaming Mouse

I had an older model Orochi for years and enjoyed using it greatly.This new version feels cheap and shoddy in comparison to the one is replaces. The rubber side grips are already starting to peel off, the left mouse button is now noticeably lower than the right through use causing the shell to distort. The bluetooth signal feels very poor and unreliable compared to the old Orochi, which the mouse pointer stuttering around the screen to much that I eventually gave up on it and just always use it with its supplied USB cable, pretty much defeating the point of a wireless mouse in the first place. The Mac drivers are REALLY shoddy. They interperate a held down moue button as multiple clicks instead of a hold, making menus almost unusable. The mouse works better when the drivers are uninstalled, but then you can't configure the buttons and the default behaviour is very much not what I want.But hey, the mouse wheel has multi-coloured lighting so there is that.

A great and portable mouse that can be used wirelessly with Bluetooth or with the included cable. However when comparing it to mice of similar prices, it comes out below and on top in its different modes.WIRELESS: 6/10When used wirelessly this mouse is limited to a 125Hz polling rate, which when added to the innate latency with Bluetooth leads a very palpable input lag. Not acceptable when gaming, or even for productivity. This is less of an issue with web browsing however. The battery life is great and the RGB lighting works seamlessly.WIRED: 8.5/10When you plug this mouse in however, everything changes. The polling rate is now allowed to open up to 1000Hz and the latency is gone. The sensor is great, as per most of Razer's lineup. The sensitivity can be adjusted on the fly and suddenly its pedigree is clear.The mouse is definitely smaller than most mice, but that adds to its portability. It is not uncomfortable at any point however and is an acceptable tradeoff therefore. This follows my laptops with its included mouse case and when I'm done with browsing and slow work, I plug it in and boom! productivity and gaming on the go. On top of this, it becomes a portable clicker for presentations - I can walk around and use the mouse as a pointer and the scroll to navigate too. The light can be switched off of course - making it a bit more professional.

Great portable mouse.Owned the original Orichi and needed an upgrade.This is the only small form (mobile) mouse which has both wired and wireless functionality. Being a small form factor it can only be used by Claw style or fingertip style mouse users. Some people may also not like the clicky scroll wheel. Has great response and the Razer Synapse software is a good companion to the hardware.Just have a few issues.- The rubber grips on the sides feels a little cheap and feels like it will wear bald in time.- The low energy bluetooth mode means there is quite a noticeable wake up lag time (even though it's only a few seconds).- The wired connection is really tight and has no locking mechanism. Removing the cable involves pulling the cable and not the connector (as there is no way of gripping on to the connector) and it feels rather fragile (as if something may snap or break).- Considering this model is 4 years old there is still NO RECHARGEABLE BATTERY option.Great mouse all in all. Wireless mode is perfect for everyday use (although being able to turn off low energy bluetooth mode would be great). Wired mode offers greater response/sensitivity and is good for mobile gaming.

The mouse does seem a little small, but I got use to it quickly and it's makes it very portable which is what I wanted. The plug that makes it a wired mouse is very secure, took me a few minutes the first time to figure out the best way to unplug it. The software utility to customise the buttons and lights is very nice and easy to use giving options to have different sensitivity for x and y directions. I also move between my Desktop and Laptop a lot so having Bluetooth functionality is great for this since it means I don't have to go round the back of my Desktop but still get the performance I want form a mouse.The only things I'd change are possibly a longer USB cable (approx. 1 metre) which since my Desktop is on the floor under my desk means I don't have much cable left, the top panel you take off to put the batteries in is held on by 2 small magnets that really don't have much resistance to them I feel like the panel should at least hook in somewhere even though the magnets seem enough to hold the panel on with no real risk of it coming off (I tried waving the mouse around with the panel facing down to see if it would fall off).The bad points aren't really a reason to say it's a poor product, just preference and opinion so I'm giving it the full 5.

I had a lot of high hopes for this mouse but unfortunately it just didn't work out!- Getting the mouse setup on macOS with Razer Synapse software was painful, I struggled to get the mouse DPI and acceleration to feel comfortable and the settings would go out of sync between Bluetooth and cables- The cable that comes with the mouse was exceptionally short and couldn't comfortably reach the USB hub on the back of my monitor- Plugging in and removing the cable from the mouse was tricky and didn't really feel like something I wanted to do very often. Once plugged in the mouse looked fantastic and the cable wasn't going to accidentally fall out, but, it was so lodged in that removing it felt aggressive and damaging.- The tip of the iceberg was a combination of the mouse and laptop refusing to connect over Bluetooth after working for several day. 6 hours spent over two evenings to try and fix it just seemed like something I didn't want in my life.I wish this mouse worked out. It is a good size, similar to a Logitech MX Anywhere (1/2) which I am use to, the combination of Bluetooth connectivity for work and USB for play was ideal and it just looks fantastic! Just too many problems though...
