I was looking for a gaming mouse (high polling rate) that has multi-device support and I landed on Razer Orochi V2. Seem like a good mouse that allows me to switch easily between gaming on PC and working on my laptop.
Same price as the previous run during Dec 2022.
Hmmm, looking to upgrade from my g305…..
Do it. I upgraded from a g305 and it is far superior all round with only exception being battery life.
What did you like about it more? If it is just the multipoint stuff I might stick with the g305 for the battery life
Much cheaper than the crazy $400 wireless viper mini they just released.
Lol you mean $449.95
Can buy this mouse and have $400 + in spare change.
I love my black Orochi V2 all apart from one thing - it takes batteries.
A rechargeable version of the exact same mouse would be an absolute winner. As it is I'm going through AAAs quicker than I'd like. I suppose I should learn to turn it off when I finish work for the day.
i have an orochi too and noticed it chews thru batteries too - one AA and one AAA since i got it last year in october. i looked it up and it seems that the bluetooth mode is less power hungry! save the 2.4ghz for gaming. i honestly dont notice a difference in latency for general use. defs turn it off for the night!
Oh that's interesting.
I don't (often) use this computer for gaming so I might switch over and see if it makes the difference. Thanks for the tip!
no worries, hope it helps!!
i have this mouse and i love it. great round egg hand feel, nice slightly textured plastic. the range of dpi is so useful. i have small hands and alternate between palm and claw grip with ease. definitely much more power hungry than other wireless mice ive used, though my experience is very limited - think replace every few months instead of every couple of years if you are using the 2.4ghz dongle several hours a day. bluetooth mode is less power hungry. a steal at this price imo
Been cheaper
Towels already has a mouse.
Great mouse. My daily driver. Previously a deathadder and g305 fan. This tops both of those easily.
What's better about it? Might try it out if it's just not the multipoint stuff
Feel, mouse clicks, material, subjectively gaming accuracy as well.
I've had multiple g305 get "double clicks" within a year or so.
how often did you have to change battery on the g305? mines every few months (i never switch it off)
sometimes it gets a dodgy (drop in/out) connection and the LED glows yellow.
@brownsound: g305 felt like 6-9 months to be honest. Orachi v2 feels like every 2-3 months on 2.4ghz. I've never tested BT tho.
Got this recently from eBay for $44 and it's a fantastic mouse for the price. Recommend!

It doesn’t seem like a good mouse; it IS a good gaming mouse.
