Customer Reviews
A nice portable mouse that makes me re-think my want list
I purchased this mouse after
having lag issues with my Microsoft Mobile Memory Mouse over bluetooth.
The MS mouse would lag behind my movements. Really bad when using my
bluetooth headset on Skype or MS communicator. The Orochi totally fixed
that issue for me! :) I recently bought a Razer Naga and was convinced
of the quality of their mice. This is definitely a Razer mouse. Things
you expect like a braided cable for wired mode, solid construction and
the soft matte finish on the top with glossy sides are all there.
In
thinking of a good way to review this mouse I realized a pattern. What I
thought was my mobile mouse wish-list turned out to not be quite what I
really wanted. The design of the Orochi had the features I didn't know I
wanted.
It is a little larger than my previous mobile mouse, BUT
it sits better in the hand and is more comfortable in long term use.
It
isn't specifically ergonomically designed for right hand use, BUT the
excellent ambidextrous design ends up feeling like it was custom
designed for whatever hand you use.
It isn't rechargeable, BUT the AA
batteries last longer.
The battery compartment is under the top
buttons and not on the bottom, BUT it attaches via 3 magnets and is much
easier to open/close.
Sure LEDs eat battery power, BUT they come on
only when you move the mouse and go off when you stop (this is really
fun to watch haha!) - note: you can also disable them for maximum
battery life
There are a few key things to know when choosing
this mouse
1) When not in wired mode the polling rate and dpi can
not go as high. This is due to the bluetooth protocol design and not
Razer's. They could have used a custom dongle like on the Mamba, but
that would mean something else to carry and use to have wireless
connectivity. Bluetooth was a good tradeoff. If you want ultimate
performance, plug in the cable. You've got it in your included carrying
case right?
2) The mouse's settings are stored on the mouse
itself (very cool). If you want to reprogram them you have to plug in
the cable. Again a tradeoff for bluetooth. Not bad, just something to be
aware of. You can have 5 application profiles which change according to
the game/app in use (or manually).
3) There are two buttons on
each side. The ones on the opposite side from your thumb are not so easy
to reach in the heat of action. This however allows for the
ambidextrous design. By default these step through your pre-defined dpi
sensitivity stages and are well designed to stay that way or use for
actions you don't need as frequently.
I'm grasping to think of
any real "con" against this mouse. If I had to say two things I would
like changed it would be: Make it so the wheel can both ratchet and
free-scroll (I got used to free scrolling when not gaming) and have the
side buttons not recess quite so far as the bottom edge of the top matte
part is kind of sharp.
If you are looking for a portable sized
gaming mouse or have a Razer on your desktop already and want to take
the experience with you pick one up!
Small update:
I just got
my Kabuto mouse surface and I noticed that the on/off switch on the
bottom of the mouse is a bit loose in the on position. This won't make
it accidentally turn off, but it does make it jostle around a little on a
surface that isn't perfectly flat (the kabuto is a bit bumpy from being
rolled up in the package). This doesn't affect the mouse use or
performance at all, just makes a little rattling noise when mousing.
ONE HUGE FLAW!!!!
This is probably the best
bluetooth mouse on the market except for one fatal flaw. After just 2 or
3 seconds of inactivity, the mouse goes to sleep. When you try to move
the mouse again, there is a slight delay for the bluetooth connection to
be reestablished. There is no excuse for this setting to not be user
changesble! I would much rather the sleep delay time to be around a
minute and loose some battery life than to constantly be annoyed by a
hesitant cursor every time I stop to read something on the internet.
They could probably easily fix this with a driver update, but it hasn't
happened yet. If you go to Razer's website and go to the Knowledge
Database for the Orochi, three of the four problems are this delay. So
they know its a problem but haven't fixed it. Their solution is to use
it in wired mode. HELLO!! I bought a very expensive WIRELESS mouse.
Anywho, I have returned this mouse. I would repurchase it if they fix
the delay problem.
Amazing Mouse! Poor
Mac Support
I purchase this mouse for my
Macbook Pro (unibody).
Having tried several mice (including
Apples' Magic Mouse) I can say the Razer Orochi is simply an amazing
mouse.
It may be a bit small for some, but as a notebook mouse,
it's perfect. The bluetooth connectivity is so smooth and precise, I
have yet found the need to use the cable connection.
It's
designed almost perfect. The batteries give it a perfect weight. And
using it for design (I'm a heavy photoshop user) it's just pixel
perfect.
The Bad: Poor Mac Drivers. The mouse werks perfect, with
the exception of the additional buttons. I hope Razer will build on the
mac support. Oh yeah and I could of done without the gratuitous
packaging.
But other than that it's truely the best mouse I have
used. Dare I say I may even replace my intel lazer mouse at home with
it.
I hope this helps.
