Razer Orochi v2 Mouse Review: MUCH BETTER Than You Think 

Great review. Also, I loved the “people who think the mouse isn’t worth $70 shouldn’t be doing reviews” 😂😂can’t agree more

Pardon me Son?

“Honestly at this point I’ve reviewed enough mice to realize that people are gonna bit*h no matter what unless it’s usb-c” LMAO SO TRUE THO

i was maining a g305 and got the orochi yesterday. im super impressed and have no regrets. im glad more companies are making mice with easy to replace batteries, since batteries are consumables and eventually go bad.

You weren't kidding. It is better than what I expected it to be. For fingertip....wow! What a little gem this is.

Love your reviews! You keep it real, get straight to the point, and assume the viewer did some minimum level of research into the product before watching. IMO, the other reviewers spend too much time on stuff that's already in the product marketing, whereas you get straight to your opinions, saving me time. Thank you!

Might be a bit late for you to see this, but in regards to the rough feel when the buttons are pressed and you move your finger. Just got a Deathadder V2 and noticed the same thing, along with a fair bit of post travel. As an experiment, I cut a thin strip of 0.5mm grip tape and fit it under the buttons where it didn't interfere with the click in any way. I doubled up near the edge where the buttons curve down as there was a little bit of inwards side travel on them too. Its got rid of all these issues. Post travel reduced, no more grinding feeling when the buttons are held down, and the side travel is gone. Pretty chuffed with this "mod" if you can even call it that.

Thanks boarzdy now Im about to own another mouse

I recently picked up the orochi v2 and it is so damn good. Coming from a logitech g602 this feels like heaven. The g602 feels like handling a brick compared to the light weight orochi lol. If you use fingertip grip like I do then this mouse will be perfect for you. I played some BF4 matches with the orochi and noticed my accuracy significantly improved and was getting crazy kill streaks. For 70$ I think this mouse is well worth it.

been waiting for this boardzy let's goooo

Ordered the mouse last week cant wait to get it holy shit

Even though i already ordered a different mouse recently, i have just ordered this one aswell now because it looks sick! I didnt even know this was out, thanks for letting me know bro.

Really really nice review. Very thorough but not excessive, also a great speaking voice. Sad I'm just now finding your channel. Easy sub, preemptive congrats on 50k

For anyone having any worries: Just get it, you will not regret it

Just bought this mouse, extremely surprised at how good this mouse is. Currently my main over the superlight. This is my first and only razer mouse that I have liked.

This review convinced me to get the mouse even having thought it would be inferior because of the looks and battery.., so thank you for addressing those concerns directly.

Just noticed this man's banner💀

I got mine finally. My first impression was yes it is smaller than G305 but it suit my hand better due to the shape, the scroll wheel is better as well. The only downside i think the mouse button because it is detachable, when i tap lightly the m1 and m2 it made sound as they are not being the same housing as the mouse. Will see the battery life, hopefully it does as it stated.

been waiting on edge for this review and its amazing boardzy youre a fucking god 🙏

I like watching boardzy handle an egg

Completely agree about the reviewers calling it overpriced. No other mouse in the same category offers equal features to the Orochi V2. Most of those reviewers are still stuck calling it primarily a Laptop mouse when in-fact it is a full-featured gaming mouse that just so happens to be portable with bluetooth. Can't wait to get mine as I'm pretty sure it will be my new main.

I love how honest you are.

The techne shook when boardzy said people who can't find this mouse 70$ shouldn't do mouse reviews

Ordered mine when it was stock 3-4 days after it launched. Took 3 days to ship. Took another 4 days to get here. Paid for express. Took forever to get here. But it’s by far my most favorite mouse to date. Use to use the viper ultimate and this one is my new favorite. Just sold my ultimate

Amazing as always boardzy! You're the only reviewer I wait for to buy a new mouse 💪💪

Reminder that these are available from Best Buy for $35.

Thought I might point this out if you use a adapter sleeve for double A to triple A in the double A slot you will get the weight reduction while maintaining the weight distribution.

i've been using my orochi v2 for over 6 months now and jesus christ this thing is amazing

How could people even dislike daddy boardzy he is legend!

Use AAA battery with AA adapter will balance out weight distribution by placing the battery in middle upper slot.

on-point review...i think people are judging the price because of another egg at $40, meanwhile it's having good build quality far from the other egg, maybe even better qc consistency than the MOW, PUC symm, gpx superL, and RVU

That's actually good to hear, dude. I wish they made Deathadder V3 (Or whatever the hell they would call it) with these mechanical V2's because the switches were (still are) holding me back from buying DA V2. I kinda wanted to try that old-new classic shape, but on the other hand didn't want this terrible-sounding mushy joke. I hope they're going to listen to the community and will make me change my mind.

Best reviewer out there literally

Bro what, people actually hate the fact that it doesn't have a rechargeable battery in it? The swappable normal batteries are the best part, I use a pair of rechargeable AAA's and just hot swap whenever one gets low, each battery lasts about a week and I just charge them with my normal rechargeable AA/AAA charger. I've only had two mice so far for my gaming setup and this one has lasted me about a year now, has had no issues with switches failing or the feet wearing out and I really don't see any reason to get another mouse any time soon, this thing's great for gaming and I've been quite happy with it.

my first gaming mouse i got and my first wireless mouse i got was this. got it after seeing this video because it seemed like it would be a safer shape. The mouse is amazing, super smooth mice feet and the shape fits any grip style for me.

Also love boardzy cause he is so honest on everything

Got this today as I'm a big fan of small mice and hot damn this is amazing, feels so good in the hand

You can use the AAA battery in the AA compartment using some tin foil/adapter and it'll be lighter and have balance weight distribution

This is the one iv been waiting for

while the shape is not a copy of the g305.. as a G305 users who is now testing the V2. it is around the same realm that you may like this shape as well. the differences are so slight that i very quickly got used to it. its lighter, its better built, it has a switch for performance/battle mode, and keeps the battery. if you are someone looking for an upgrade from the g305 design...this could be it for you.

Its Boardzy, and its gonna be a review of the Razer Orochi V2. So many people have asked for it, and now it is here. It is very obvious that people have not tried the mouse. The Orochi V2 is nothing like the G305 (crazy info). The only similarity is that they are wireless mice and use batteries (Holy shit). The Razer Orochi V2 is on a completely different level, shipped the next day and arrived very quickly from Hong Kong to New York(best 10 dollars ever spent). The copy is a retail copy and was not sent out. This is not a fucking egg, and has a swappable shell. The clicks do not feel terrible like pwnage with modified 4.0 switches(feel great). Shell is not fucking up the click feeling. All the buttons on this mouse felt *exquisite*. you can get a print on the shell, though I didnt but I probably will to please people. One issue I would consider is that this mouse is so short, when claw gripping you are likely to touch the top of the buttons with a decent amount of wobble. Also, the solid or semi-solid remains of food that was not digested in the small intestine, and has been broken down by bacteria in the large intestine.

G pro superlight isn't available in my country yet, neither is orochi v2. Question is it worth waiting around for these to arrive over Viper ultimate. My current main is g305 for fps and it's starting to get double click issues for 3rd time just like my g402 so would like to avoid Logitech.

yo boardzy were you able to get the starlight, i got it in the cart and went to check out and the site crashed 😥

Just bought this mouse coming from endgame xm1r / Hati S Wired and Wireless ACE editions / GPro Superlight / the new Pulsar Xlite v2 & v2 mini . I also have every new Zowie C series ZA11 12 13 S1 & 2 EC 1 2 3 (waiting to buy the FK series). Razer Viper Ultimate Wireless and Viper mini wired. I play Apex Warzone CS Battlefield. I would say I tend to switch mice depending on game. But this mouse guys, is just insane! Ive never ever experienced such an amazing first hand feel. I use a mix of fingertip / relaxed claw. I picked it up for 44 euroes on amazon! the 2.4g wireless latency feels as fast as the GPro Superlight! I cannot notice any difference, as of the G-wolves and pulsars its way more laggy feel. And the shape is legendary! clicks are amazing! only issue I have is the weight, as the AAA in the back messes up the weight distribution too much to make it worth the 7g difference. Using the AA and wish it was 10-15g lighter. other than that its perfect!

This is some really fucking good review i really fucking love it. Subbed

Wth... this video started on autoplay and I was just walking towards my gaming room/home-office and I could've sworn I heard Shroud again lol. Great vid btw.

Yo Boardzy good review Btw wut happened to your keyboard?

Can this compare to xm1r? I have a claw relaxed - normal grip, but i think this will be too small for that relaxed claw. I dont know about those batteries as well, are there any good rechargeable lithium batteries? I dont know what to pick.

there will be another g305 clone its called the gamebitions orbit (uses kailh switches)

I've been using the G Pro Hero for a couple of years now and I love it. I tried this mouse and also the G305. Yes the Orochi V2 is better than the G305. I have medium hands and use a fingertip grip. I found that the Orochi V2 was giving me hand cramps. I think the mouse is too small. And I guess I prefer a symmetrical mouse too. But the build quality and the balance of the Orochi V2 are much better than the G 305. I hate that the G305 is back heavy even with a AA lithium battery.

Works perfectly fine with S/M hand size and worth every penny.

I am gonna get one of these... juiced marketing aside it seems like an absolute top tier mouse, and customizable is a plus. Ill tell you why... Shape looks the best, from reviews it seems as if build quality is tht of a tank, other reviews also praise the side buttons but 2 important things are the dpi button being recessed and the placement of the sensor.

you can also just put in a triple AAA in AA slot with tinfoil for less weight and good weight distribution

I haven't even used an MM720 but when I first held my Orochi, the 720 popped into my mind, oddly enough.

Best fingertip wireless mouse. That's a must cop for me! I have the same size hands as you and I'm solely a fingertip grip. UL2, viper mini and hati s have been faves and maining the superlight at the moment. Very intrigued in this mouse. My only gripe would be a replaceable battery instead of charging but that's getting nit picky and if it's cheaper, who cares

Your microphone is so good that this sound like a voice over worth 1k imo

In love with this mouse literally

another banger video from boardzy

can't wait to try it

Gonna pull the trigger on this. My endgame mouse is the Model O-, but I'm currently using the Model O wireless. The MOW is just too big for me, so I'll buy the Orochi until the Model O- Wireless comes out.

I have this mouse, been using it for about 6 months. I came from a G305, and just bought an MM720. Orochi V2 is pretty good. But I immediately missed the shape of the sides of my G305 (reverse sloped, inward sloping design). The Orochi was/is harder for me to grip with it's straight-down side design and I feel like I have less control, but I got used to it. It's pretty heavy with the AA, and back-heavy with a AAA (very annoying and messed up my aim). The clicks are nice; scroll wheel took months to break in (would hang up between roll increments); battery life is pretty bad.

Try putting AAA with adapter in to AA slot, it gets lighter and doesn't fuck up weight distribution, i feel that's the best combo for weight/feel of the mouse.

wow nice video boardzy i wonder who made the thumbnail

This is on sale for $28 in the USA. Might have to grab it at this price !

what mice would you recomend for palm grip?? Cool video.

Any issues in delay with the usb receiver not having a cable and being near the mouse? Build quality compared to superlight? Thanks!

Did you want the final mouse starlight in small or medium?

It’s perfect for laptop/PC users. I use Bluetooth on my laptop for schoolwork. And the USB for gaming on PC. I got fairly small hands and it feels so great. I guess the only bad thing is if u hate AA/AAA batteries.

I'd love to try this one, but there are none at my local stores. :( Depending on how it feels, I can imagine a bigger alternative with a cable on it. Since you have a thumb rest, it's apparently a right hand mouse so why not also adjust the opposite site for more comfy handling?

For the same price which is better between this and the superlight?

what mousepad would you recommend for this mouse? I have an aqua control plus and corepads and the mouse only spins like 4 times and is pretty slow

I actually got to know this mouse when whoisaqua used it. For fingertip grip, this thing is fucking overpowered not even kidding. Great review boardzy. U made me buy my 5th mouse thanks 😊

fastest click sound test speedrun i have ever seen

What does the Superlight do better than the Orochi that hinders you from maining it?

Do you prefer it with the AA or AAA battery?

Finally ! RU-vid tryna copy right ur amazing voice

wake up babe new boardzy video

WTF!! I've never watched this guy before and now i get 10 of his videos on my recommended page in a row

I've had this mouse for 2 month's now, and the battery is STILL FULL after gaming every single day.

I will eventually get to this mouse, but next in my lineup is the np01s and new roccat kone pro. I have tried allot of mice, but i keep going back to my viper mini for pure fingertip grip. For 30$ and the performance u get with it due to its perfect size and shape for fingertip idk if I foresee a mouse beating it. Its for this reason I cant get on the new finalmouse bandwagon. Id love to try out the medium sized one, but idk how much better in game I would play and if its worth it...

The egg has been dethroned.

I’m considering getting this soon because I’m not the fan of the shape of my razer viper ultimate the past couple months

Best Orochi v2 review on RU-vid.

Should I get a g pro superlight wireless

When you said it was not sent out, you sounded sad. It’s okay, you are definitely gonna get future stuff sent out

i love this considering its my favorite wireless

use the AAA battery at the AA slot for better weight distribution

is it really worth it?, im gonna sell my old headset, and not sure to buy used gpw or this orochi, for large hands like 19x10cm or 19,5x10,5 for claw

was the white one a matte finish or a slick polished slippery finish?

I really like the look of this mouse and I'd definitely buy it, only I have a hati wireless already with a finalmeme starlight-12 on the way. Sooooo....I guess I don't get to buy anymore mice now.

Just picked it up for $38. Great deal

Worth the switch from the viper mini?

bought this mouse and it has held up very well. unfortunately my hands (19x10.5) are really just much too large to grip it comfortably and perform at my best. will be buying a superlight when that comes out :D tl;dr very good mouse, sensor, click and quality wise, however for large and i'd even say medium size hands it may be uncomfortable to grip. (faceit 9)

Should I get this? I am currently using viper mini with claw and love it

What would the best mousepad for tracking be?? I play a lot if tracer

what happens if you populate both battery slots? will batterylife just last longer? Will it drain from both at the same time? what will happen?

Got this for 40$ on amazon, hopefully arrives soon!

I have the superlight as well and obviously the hype has sparked my curiosity. What prevented this from being your new main?

Yo you guys got any opinions? Should i buy the orochi v2 or the razer viper ultimate, i use claw/fingertip, i tried the viper with black fleets and its meh, it feels ok, not the best for fingertip, but any opinions?

Should i get one over my viper ultimate or should I just stay on it?
