straight to the point, love it!

[@Kris-nv2ju]

i love these reviews keep them up

[@foamige]

I use the atheris with my laptop. Love it. Frees up a USB port and lasts forever.

[@cypherfunc]

Came for a mouse comparison, which was very good, especially for a small channel, and got a little surprise bonus ASMR!

[@TechAdventure1]

Wow thank you! Kindest comment I’ve received! I’m just having fun here. No MKBHD-type aspirations.

[@skullkida7x325]

great video, how hard are the clicks on the orochi v2? i like easy to click mice, so just wondering :)

[@TechAdventure1]

Definitely on the easy side. I dig it! I’ve been using it with my MacBook via Bluetooth. Review coming soon.

[@skullkida7x325]

@@TechAdventure1 I appreciate the response man! I ordered one and was scared about the clicks after realizing they used mechanical switches instead of optical lol

[@TechAdventure1]

Keep me posted! I’d like to know what you think.

[@MrShoniBare]

@@skullkida7x325 If you meant the Razer's v2 optical switches they're definitely not. GM4 is the most tactile switch of the Kailh's GM series.

Bruhh those cracks and smudges on your table had me wiping my phone. I thought how tf did my screen get so dirty 😂😂

[@TechAdventure1]

LOL it’s a style of finishing called “distressed”. My wife did the work herself. It actually is rad if you see it in person. But, message heard. All of my recent videos are shot on a different table. Someone else complained last month too.

[@zoletekin]

Both mice are great, great materials and performance.

[@Synzoku]

hey! i found an orochi v1 (20$) for sale, would you say i should get it instead of the v2 or atheris?

[@kittikorn6674]

I wouldn't pay more than 10 bucks for 10 years old mouse

[@octs609]

So I have a desktop setup and I do not really give a shit about battery life and I do not want it as a portable gaming mouse I want it as a main. Something comparable to a gpx or even MOW or possibly the viper. Do you still think its still good

[@TechAdventure1]

Happy to help. To me more. If you like the Viper, for example, why not get the Viper?

[@octs609]

@@TechAdventure1 the side buttons mainly I main valorant and I need good side buttons and I need a little bit of a smaller mouse. I would get the viper mini although I want a wireless mouse.

[@TechAdventure1]

In that case I think you’re good to go

[@forgenic2700]

viper side buttons are hard to press

[@greippuli9166]

@@octs609 Viper mini shape is strictly only for fingertip imo. Skates are super bad on some copies and sensor's quality also differs a lot for some reason. If you want a small mouse and you claw or ftip and prefer wireless, definitely get the orochi v2. It has better feet, clicks and sidebuttons than both gpx and viper ultimate in most people's opinion. Shape wise it's super good and you have much more freedom with it, because of the small size and hump's shape.

[@t3ngrist620]

i prefer original orochi with plug in option and smaller size (same as atheris)

[@TechAdventure1]

I betting that’s hard to find now

[@velocitydreamer]

Can't forget the lighting! :-)

I hope you enjoy it. Hard to go back to wired.

[@ahlixemus8903]

I'm pretty sure none light up

[@TechAdventure1]

I think you’re right. I haven’t installed Synapse so…have to double check soon.

[@ahlixemus8903]

@@TechAdventure1 Yeah, otherwise Razer would advertise it to hell lol Synapse is not super buggy in my experience, but I understand the bloatware sentiment

[@TechAdventure1]

Good point. I don’t mind Synapse on my primary desktop. I haven’t installed it on the laptop I’m using the Orochi on. I think you’re spot on though. Which makes sense since they’re going for long battery life.

[@velocitydreamer]

Orochi v1 I believe had lighting :-) Yeah, it's going to hit battery life, but looked very nice. Edit: Just realized you're referring to his mentioning of lighting in the video. Yeah, neither light up iirc.

[@TechAdventure1]

Yeah I messed up on that one. I should probably start writing scripts but then this whole thing becomes a job 😂

[@damko80]

i love the Atheris. Orochi looks cheap and its bigger, doesn't have the same grip on side and is lighter which again feels cheap.

[@etmargallo]

Atheris was too small, orochi was perfect 👌

[@TechAdventure1]

Yeah I can’t believe I rolled with the Atheris as long as I did now that I use the Orochi!

[@JirAWS]

@@TechAdventure1 same for me, I've just received the Atheris, this one is cool but definitely too small for my hands

[@NotAFaken]

Atheris - 66 gramms WITHOUT battaries

[@lostandfound6501]

The atheris weighs over 110grams with both batteries installed.

[@kyle.s3700]

That’s the most important spec he forgot to mention in his review.

[@Laup2ten]

Just got the Orochi. Moved from g305 but g305 still feels better overall. dammit

[@TechAdventure1]

Maybe give it a day?

[@TechAdventure1]

I picked up the g305 yesterday. Initial thoughts: feels great! But no bluetooth....I'll do a video comparison soon.

[@rizzzzzzzzzzzz]

hey it's been a while but did u ever get double click issues with orochi?

[@Laup2ten]

@@rizzzzzzzzzzzz Hey Riza. Never had issues with double click. I'm not using that mouse anymore, moved to G303 from Logitech and I'm quite happy now. A bit bigger but better overall than the Razer.

[@rizzzzzzzzzzzz]

@@Laup2ten thank you for responding! you're so kind. i was also looking at G303 before so i'll check it out again. ty again

[@gabrielcaluya6708]

atheris kinda cheaper in price though

Build quality, you mean? Seems fine to me. Curious what you mean though!
