Razer Orochi V2, DETAILED REVIEW + COMPARISON

I think the switches in the Orochi v2 are rated for 60 million or so clicks compared to g305 at only 10 million. Not sure about the Katar. However, the longer overall life of the product may be where the added value of the Orochi v2 at $70 is justified.

[@Romulus84]

@@TheTechne I invite you to Europe and we will talk about the price, you there in America, when it comes to electronics, you have a paradise on earth. You don't appreciate something you have. In Europe, this mouse costs 80 euro and I think it's a good price. The G305 in Europe costs 40-50 Euro. The Orochi V2 in Poland costs 80 euros, i.e. $ 95, so in Europe the Orochi V2 will be sold for $ 90-95 dollars and the G305 $ 50-60. You have an "electronic paradise" over there, please think about it next time you say that $ 70 is a lot, in Europe I will give it $ 90 for it and I will have to live with it. Greetings from Europe. ; )

I really think that it is worth that price because if we compare this other similarly shaped mice, you would have to buy another battery so it could be close to be as well balanced as the Orochi v2 is, and also some better feet, making the price almost the same

$28 at Best Buy today and I just ordered two, the strike edition and the white. I bought one last year at $70 after watching this great review and I ended up returning it. I was having a hard time justifying the price (like Techne), although it was honestly one of the best Razer product I have ever used. At $28, its practically a no brainer.

[@sepavila577]

Techne. the DEATH ADDER comparison was awesome. thank you. 13:51 - I was aactually planning to get me a razer death adder v2 coming from a Viper mini. Just because I need somerthing more comfortable. but with this review and you saying that "it just flows" when you hold the orochi. Im going for that orochi dude. thank you.

[@Pastill-]

I think this mouse is supposed to compete with the g305 which released at 60 dollars and it is around 98g-100g this one weighs 72g with a AA battery and 65 with a AAA without needing a converter while the g305 needed a converter to use a AAA and the g305 doesn't have Bluetooth so 10$ more for all these features makes it worth 70$. (But that's just what I thought without comparing it to other mice).

[@miguell272]

Definately the best review ive seen, i like how you compared it to other mice, really helps to see the difference when compared to the other mice, thx!

[@michaelthompson9798]

Got the Orochi V2 here in an eBay Australia EOFY sale in my choice of white for $82.99 AUD (with taxes) ..... about $56 USD before taxes! and also got a Blackwidow Mini V3 Hyperspeed for $225 AUD (with taxes) ..... about $$152 USD before taxes! ... I'm stoked!!!

[@MartinzW]

You nailed the talk on flow and feel of Orochi V2. I say that because I first ordered Logicool G Pro X Superlight (150usd mouse). It was defective so I had to send it back but I did get a feel of it. And Superlight feels light but didn't feel like anything special. Then I ordered Orochi V2 and it just fit my hand and style of use so well. I can see why so many people race about Orochi - if it fits, it fits perfectly.

[@s.richards6552]

The best mouse review I have ever watched. To me, shape and comfort is the most important aspect in choosing a new mouse and this review goes into so much detail. I have been looking for a replacement for my beloved wired G400s that has been perfection for the past ten years or so despite my small hands and is now on its third cable. I tried to find a similar shape wireless mouse, finally bought a G603 and it is really uncomfortable in every way. You have finally persuaded me to try the Orochi. I have watched a lot of positive reviews and my only concern was the size - being used to a large mouse that worked so well for my small hands, I was worried about going so much smaller. There are now some good deals in the UK, so I am going to give the Orochi a try. Thanks for your help.

Two important point The weight of 60 grms is just without the battery and depending on the battery you use it really varies the weight Second The hours lasting mentioned are probably of lithium tested under specific situation and if you use alkaline batteries in the mouse than the battery may drop drastically Depending on the weight and battery type choice the time it will last and weight varies I have been using wireless mices for a long time and depending on the battery, weight distribution and the glidiers on the bottom of the mouse varies a. Lot in my experience I had a mice and it had smooth sldidng gliders and the weight distribution was phenomenal but compared to g305 , g305 sucked lol. Wondering about glides

[@faizmohd9474]

Great explanation 👍🏻

[@Proutt]

Not a Razer shill by any means but to answer your question, I think it's fairly priced. From the reviews I've seen so far, this is a near-perfect gaming mouse with no obvious flaw sticking out and all boxes are ticked. There's R&D costs needed to produce a quality product and I have no problem with this being a little more expensive than the Katar or G305. The Aerox 3 wireless by Steelseries in comparison is $99 USD and has major flaws. The G305 has issues that prevent it from being a top competitive mouse. For a near-flawless small portable but competitive mouse, I think it's fairly priced. You do of course pay for some Razer premium due to their marketing and R&D costs but they're pushing things forward the same way Logitech are and it's normal their products go for a little more than other companies who just piggy-back and copy existing products.

[@TheTechne]

it's crazy to even think that we are at a point to think we should pay more for a quality product.

[@filipbunalti]

@@TheTechne When have we not paid more for quality? Isn't that the same for any product (mice or otherwise)?

[@flashbits6614]

I absolutly agree that the price for the black\white version boarders on beeing to expensive while the custom one a just way to expensive. But the orochi v2 is still the better buy than the g305 and Katar. The g305 ist a great deal, but it weighs 30g more, has worse batterylife, has worse switches wich tend to doubleclick early, isn't as balanced and has way way worse glides. If you buy an AA lithium ion battery + adapter and Corepads the pricegap closes by rougly 15 Dollars and you still end up with the worse glides, switches, balance and weight. Great Review tho! :)

[@K-----]

Great video. That is quite a steep price comparatively. They should have 100% added another shell with it or had some other feature like hot swap switches to justify the price imo.
