the razer orochi v2 is not overpriced AT ALL + g305 comparison 

who is based and batterypilled?

I received my Orochi a few days ago, coming from the pwnage ultra custom. All I can say is the buttons on the Orochi make my pwnage mouse seem like a McDonald’s happy meal toy.

Boardzy, you're so unique, resilient, and brave.

I've been using G305 for 2 years. Switched to Orochi V2 few days ago instantly fell in love. The shapes are pretty similar. You can easily get used to Orochi's shape fast! If you have tiny hands, Orochi V2 might just be the best small wireless mice on the market imo. It is way lighter than G305. Love it. Shape wise I'm sure small hands will all love it. As for sensor? tbh all the sensors on gaming mouse released within past 3-4 years are all good enough. Just get used to it, and u will be fine.

I paid 20$ at Wal-Mart for a bundle that came with a G305 and a G240 mousepad. That was the deal of a lifetime.

I got my Orochi v2 and had my doubts before getting it. Using it for a couple hours. I can honestly say I’m surprised. Love the coating on it, great stock feet, significantly better weight balancing (i actually put a triple A in the AA slot lul) and nice snappy clicks. For $70. I’m actually going to say its worth it. I did get a G305 Bundle at Walmart for $20 which is a hell of a bargain. But comparing the two. I like the Orochi’s shape better since it does remind me of a MM720 without the ring finger rest. Also sensor positioning one thing i actually kind of noticed, but actually ended up being beneficial for my aim. Overall I am a big fan of this mouse.

100% agree. I chose this over the MO Wireless, Viper Ult, Logi Superlight, and a few others. It's amazing for fingertip.

Been using wired G502s my whole life as I was hesitant about the quality of wireless mice. Ordered a

My Orochi came in 2 days ago and I couldn't be happier with it (coming from the original G-Wolves Hati), the smaller shape is so nice and the biggest plus is being able to Beaulo spin my mouse.

this is essentially the conclusion I came to as well, the mouse is very good for what you get

Your resiliency and bravery led me to get one myself. No regrets whatsoever, thanks unique dude

Thank you for mentioning the razer student discount! Your content slaps 👏👏

Boardzy when/if do u think the VMU will drop?

Im hesitating between viper ultimate and this orochi , i clawgrip currently using g502 which one do you think is the better option ( hands are 18,11 )

Any issues with double-clicking with these switches? Had the G Pro before, but double-clicking issues were so bad I stopped using it. Also, do you think the Viper Ultimate is worth it with the new $90 price tag?

I don't look at the price too much as long as it's below 80 USD, that's why I don't think I will ever buy a GPX Superlight even though I think it's actually a good mouse for me. 70 usd dollar for such a versatile mouse is a steal.

been waiting on this one, especially since I have been using the G305 for years, and wondering if it is worth the upgrade

I purchased this mouse and I think It’s risky shape me as fingertiper wasn’t liked it (maybe cause of small hands idk), sensor lift off as well felt a higher than 1mm, but I admite that, was very precise. I wouldn’t consider that mouse as a safe recommendation.

white ver hasn't arrived on my country yet sadly, still waiting but rly looking forward for my next purchase. good comparison boardzy, very based

this might be my new upgrade from the g305 that I've had for a few years now. Thanks boradzy!

Bro remember i said im buying this mouse in last video because it looks cool ? Well it definetly is, it arrived super quick and feels good to use. Happy with it 😁

Crazy how the Orochi V2 goes on sale for about $39 from time to time.

ur the most straight forward - intelligent mouse reviewer

it's kind of a dumb question but does the paint on the mercury changes the texture of the mouse ? (makes it more rubbery or slippery)

I actually really don't like a lot of rechargeable mice, you're back up in seconds and you don't have to charge it. if you buy rechargeable, you just swap them when it dies. also batterymice usually use a lot more of their juice because they're normally just drain the battery to nothing before you need to replace the batt. also lighter because you can mod the mouse and a lot of these mice can be ran on 2 button cells if you mod them. if you hate disposable batteries, just buy a large pack of Ni-Mh batteries, and you will fall in love with now fast and simple and cheap it is to just keep a charging dock at your desk and immediately have a brand new battery at your desk any time your mouse or other things die. I went from seeking internally rechargeable devices to AA/AAA devices as soon as I bought them, trust me you won't regret it.

If you do a triple a battery with tin foil in the double a slot, does that fix the weight balancing for only like a gram or two more compared to putting it in the triple a slot?

You’ve convinced me king. Ordered one even though I’ve got the GPX super light recently.

Hi boardzy, which do you feel is faster, the stock Orochi feet or the G305 corepads? Thanks!

Hey friend, nice video. I ordered the orochi v2, but im a bit worried it will be too smal for my 21cm hands, i was thinking about orochi v2 or logitech g pro superlight, do you think i made a good choice for a fingertip grip user? Im worried that my fingers will stay too much close to each other since it's a really small mouse :/. But i trusted your review and i ordered ahaha. My current mouse is Razer Viper normal version, but i was tempted

I got a model o wireless recently and now im refunding it because it just doesn't play properly with my style , i cant aim well like i used to with the asus gladius 2 ergo gaming mouse , planning to get this orochi v2 what r ur thoughts ? My hand size is 17.5 cms

after this mouse, do u think it is a top 5 mouse for gaming or not? I am talking about esports kind of gaming.

i have huge hands and i use fingertip/palm grip should i get this?

Since it uses mechanical switches, can you swap them out with other ones? Like kailh 2.0, huano _ dot, etc

I love your confidence in your opinion imma buy it

Waiting for my irochi to come in the mail. Can’t wait!

I really wanna get it but it’s $98 here in uk. Am hoping it goes on sale on Amazon like the other mice, I have no problem paying $70 cause that’s like £50. Don’t really need a new mouse but would be nice to get a good wireless one

What mousepad is this? nice vid

Honestly torn between the V2, superlight and zys rail. I got fairly big hands, currently using the Hati s original. I play Fortnite and other fps games what mouse would you Guys recommend?

Used 303 till death now 305 and have ordered the v2 should be interesting. The thumb grip is looking like a good time

I have a deathadder v2 bought it mainly because the side buttons are lower than the other mouse but still its not comfortable for me to press it. Are there any mouse that has a lower side buttons? and I just bought the v2 but the sides already has a defect and I think its because I grip the mouse really tight. Im new to the mouse thing, I need recommendations

Absolutely confused about why people complain about this. You can have like a fucking container on your desk with batteries in it and whenever you run out, you can replace it. Having 20 batteries will literally last you months if not a year. And it's a lot faster than charging. Are people so lazy that they can't even take off the top shell?

I honestly prefer it over the superlight honestly. Shape is way better in my opinion.

how does it weigh with AAA with adaptor and does it balance well with it?

How’s that mousepad working? Which artisan is that?

What mouse pad are you using in the video?

Bought G305/G304 for $40 + mods around $10+ (Tiger ICE Mouse feet, Energizer lithium then the adapter) here in the Philippines.. the Orochi here is $70+ so what do you think about the deal I made?

do you recommend this with someone who uses finger trip grip and a handsize of 18cm,8.5cm?

preach queeen 👑✨💅

Can u try these with Ni-MH batteries? Im wondering how the battery life compares to lithium because i mostly use rechargable batteries

The only thing that slightly puts me off from buying this mouse is the fact that you have to use it with batteries, I would have preferred it to be rechargeable because I hate having to go and buy batteries tbh

I prefer battery over integrated battery because I rather replace a battery once a year than have to charge a mouse with a cord every week.

The comparison between the orochi and the g305 is made because there's a good chunk of reviewers who have no Idea what they are talking about. Thank you boardzy, very cool.

Yes i do think it is better as well. It is just i got a problem with it, the orochi interference with my wifi.. 🤕 and the m1 m2 kinda loose if you tap it lightly just kinda touching it

Do you play with no puck on the super light ?

Watching your videos is the reason I’ll be getting this mouse

Ayy thanks for the student discount.

Is this comparable to g pro? Which should I get

Does it come with batteries or do I gotta order some

You could have the rechargeable AA or AAA batteries and then just swap over. That would technically make it the best rechargeable option as it's an instant swap with no down time. Did it just become the best rechargeable option? I mean, I think it did 🤣

Should I use the stock battery or get the triple a?

replacement batteries are superior to built in batteries that is seen in all "premium" mice no plugging in for charging and even having to bother with the charging cable at all, just switch to your rechargable lithium aaa battery that is already charged up. headphone vids aside, pretty solid vid

Completely, unrelated. But how do you clean that white mousepad of yours? Do you also do the lysol and wipe on that like in your previous video? Thanks, boardzy!

Battery is so nice, only downside is possibly weight distribution, aside from that it's the same as rechargeable.

How does it compare to the viper mini?

Razer Orochi v2 Lift Of Distance ? 1,2,3 mm?

Should I go for the orochi v2 or viper ultimate

I kinda want that gpro but can’t get over how bland it looks compared to my xm1 rgb frost plus the xm1 also feels great in hand sadly I haven’t found a store that has the gpro on display to at least test it out

i love how razor and logitech just copy each other

Nice comparison Boardzy, I was really confused by how other people said that The Orochi V2 is an overpriced G305. Not to mention the Orochi V2 has Bluetooth (if you really care about it)

Triple A with adapter feels almost required. Sad they didn't just make it use one AAA .

Is there an estimated battery life for AAA?

Is it easy to press the dpi button?

i used viper mini and im planing to change to orochi will i find i uncomfortable?

So should i get the orochi or the ultimate

boardzy what are you thoughts on dasani water

I got my Orochi v2 from amazon for only $35 a couple days ago, I am very satisfied!

i had both the gpx sl and the ROV2. I sold my GPX SL after using the ROV2 for 2 days.

thank you boardzy sadly this doesn’t change the fact i cannot afford the mouse

I now feel better about buying this mouse thanks for making me feel good about 85 of my dollars not feel wasted :D (the student thing didnt work cuz my school doesnt exist apparently)

I prefer removable batteries anyways because I just use my own rechargeable batteries which last longer and can just be easily swapped out if they ever die.

I wonder if newer g305s comes with higher quality mouse feet and switches? I think mouse feet and switch quality on my G305 could not be better.

I just got my own to see for myself, thanks boardzy

What is the pad in the background?

Do you feel like the sensor feels snappier then g305 or the deluxe d800? I only see people talking about click latency, while the real problem is sensor latency, i can feel it on both the g305 and db800, specially if you switch to a wired pixart 3360/3389 right after you used them, you can easily tell the difference, how do you feel about this?

What’s the best and cheapest lightweight gaming mouse ??? Help

*Long Review and a Summary Review of the Razer Orochi V2 as of 10/15/21 with a week as my main.* I come from the Razer Naga Trinity using the 12 button side panel for over 2 years and with about 6 months usage with the 2 button side panel. And with 2 weeks using the G305 lightspeed. I had to redo this review because I took the cover off the mouse and accidentally pressed a button so my comment was gone since I was sent to another page. *_Summary of my review:_* I have small-medium hands. I prefer a claw/palm grip. The shape of the mouse could have been better, the hump close to the back as it does nothing in its current position and the side groove for the thumb repositioned up to make it easier to press the side buttons. A longer length would have been better. It doesn't have a 2 to 1 ratio. Unsure how much that makes a difference. Buttons are good. The dpi button is hard to press due to the awkward position. It is a lightweight mouse and picking it up to reposition is not difficult but sometimes slightly awkward since I can't find a consistent grip and I keep changing while using it. It has a smooth glide. More so than the 305. I prefer the size of the 305 than the Orochi. Connectivity works pretty well but I have had an issue with the PC/Synapse not recognizing the mouse, replugging in the dongle fixes this. You should use the dongle for gaming but other than that bluetooth works great. The 305 only has the dongle. I like that I can change the scroll up and scroll down of the middle mouse button so they both have a different bind when using hypershift and it's normal bind when not using hypershift so I still have the normal scroll up/down and extra buttons. You can't do that for the 305. Razer has had issues changing profile so I have to manually do it and there are no preset commands in Razer like ghub has for some games. Lint collects a lot in the feet of the Orochi. And the edges of the product information sticker. Overall I do like the mouse and the functionality. I which the shape was a little bit different and the feet didn't collect that much lint. *It is worth the price.* If you use the fingertip grip or the claw then this mouse is for you. I do want to add I used it on bluetooth with my phone and it worked well. It is smaller than the 305. The feel of it in my hand. I have been using this mouse a week. The claw grip style isn't the best for me even with my small/medium hands. I guess this mouse is more fingertip. I don't like using mouse that way. I guess I do a mix of claw/palm, my ring finger hits the right edge of the right click mouse button and sometimes it would pinch that finger. Doesn't hurt at all, I can just feel the edge of the button and it will slightly squeeze. The mouse is shorter than I would like. Due to my own comfort and RocketJumpNinjas' idea of a 2 to 1 ratio for a mouse. The bump I wish was more towards the back, it being in the middle I feel doesn't do anything. If it was back more then it might have contact with the bottom of my palm close to my wrist, as of now there is a gap between my thumb and the opposite outer edge of my palm. Put your thumb to your pinky, there is a gap there, that is the area I am talking about. The groove for your thumb is comfortable and makes picking up the mouse easy which without, it isn't the easiest so grip tap might work wonders here but I haven't used grip tap before on mice. If the bottom edge of the thumb groove/the thumb groove as a whole was slightly higher, closer to the mouse buttons I might have an easier time using the side buttons and have a nice grip on the mouse. The middle mouse button isn't hard to click but I wish it was a little easier. The scroll wheel up and down is easy to use as are the side buttons. The "dpi" button which I have remapped is easy to press but I have to completely curl my finger inwards to press it. Easy to do but not comfortable or fast. The 305 is easier to pick up given the shape. The sides of the Orochi are easy to get used to but I reposition my hand often in use. I can't find a consistent grip for the mouse. The weight of the Orochi is pretty good. I have no issues at this weight. I am used to the MMO mouse the Razer Naga Trinity which is about 120 grams or 110(iirc, please look this up in case I am wrong on weight) so switching to the G305 which is 100 didn't feel much different until I did the foil mod. Then I had connectivity issues since the connection wasn't the best using that mod. The 305 was easy to pick up due to the sides curving in. It was pretty odd at first though on the 305. Given the issues I had in my previous paragraph though. The Orochi and the 305 I can pick up the whole mouse for repositioning. As for the Naga I would lift up one side and drag it. It is a heavier mouse and there is difference in weight from the Naga and either of the other two mice assuming you are using the AAA converter mod(the lithium battery as well which the 305 doesn't come with) for the 305 and the lighter battery whether is it the lithium(Orochi comes with) or a AAA. I think it might be slightly back heavy but I might be imagining that. It is a smooth glide. More so than the G305. As for bluetooth or the dongle. I played a few games on bluetooth and I thought it was my internet or me having a bad aim day. I didn't know I left it on bluetooth mode. After switching it back to the dongle I was hitting more shots. An issue I had when I switched to the dongle from bluetooth a couple times my PC/synapse wouldn't recognize the mouse which means I couldn't use it. Reconnecting the dongle fixed this issue but it happened twice during a buy phase so I couldn't buy weapons. If you are not playing a competitive game, I don't know that you would be able to notice. I played Valorant and Overwatch on bluetooth and I didn't know if it was the mouse being on bluetooth or not but after changing to the dongle I was more effective. A couple times switching from bluetooth to the dongle has made the mouse not be recognized by my PC and Razer Synapse. This has caused me to not buy in the buy phase cause I was reconnecting my mouse and didn't immediately mess with the dongle itself. Replugging in the dongle fixes it. It might be an issue with Valorant. I can switch modes outside of Val on my desktop and the mouse has no issues. The functionality of the mouse is good. There is no tilt function but you can remap the scroll up and down to something else. I have scroll up and down remapped using hypershift so I have the normal functionality but two added keybinds in games. When switching from bluetooth to the dongle sometimes Razer doesn't recognize the mouse like I have mentioned. I remapped the dpi cycle button since I only use 800 dpi and thus I have another keybind. My hypershift button is the side button which is normally M4, my new M4 is mapped to the dpi button so that I still have it. Having hypershift as that side button makes it easy to press that button and any other button on the mouse with it. Unlike if I used the dpi cycle button as the hypershift key. The software has trouble switching profiles so I have to manually do it a lot. It does recognize a lot of my games. You can add another game like you can in ghub for the G305. Razer will try and find the game for you can show you some files, you can still browse to find it yourself. The G305 has prebuilt commands for the games it recognizes so you don't have to find out what keys the game uses by opening it up. Make sure you select the right executable or the profile won't change. It could say "thegame"win64.exe instead of just "thegame".exe. You need to keep that in mind. You can not rebind the scroll up and scroll down like you can in Razer. Or I would have changed the scroll up and down to something else when using gshift to get two more buttons. That is somewhat of a trade off. If you changed the keybinds in the game when using ghub I think the keybinds on the mouse stay the same if you used the prebuilt commands. If you choose to do the normal mimic the keyboard keys then it won't change with the change in game and you would need to change it in the software which is what you always get with Razer. Only one battery works at a time. You can't fit a AAA and a AA at the same time. It is nice it has a slot for either an AAA or an AA. The look of the mouse. I couldn't get the black variant except from the Razer store so I went with the white one. The white one is a lint magnet. You can just brush it off so that is fine. Under the mouse at the bottom is another story. The feet are lint magnets as well as the sticker(?) with the extra information on the mouse like the serial number. I prefer the logo on the Razer than the 305. The 305 is black so not so much a lint magnet and there isn't nearly as much lint/crud on the feet or bottom of the 305. The scroll wheel on the 305 does collect some lint. Even my Razer Naga Trinity didn't collect this much lint.

have you tried the g703?

Can I use AA rechargeable batteries?

is the battery rechargeable?

What mousepad is that?

Has anyone figured out why the Orochi V2 is skipping in 2.4 mode? I don't have any issues with the mouse in Bluetooth mode, but when I'm using the wireless dongle, it's like it's having issues with it connecting to the dongle itself. It's been driving me nuts. I've updated the firmware and everything on it.

Is that just a white color way shindekai or did they change it at all?

i got this, after going from xm1 to xtrfy m4 to a hati s to aerox 3 and now this, and this better than all of them.

Wait, people hate this mouse? For $70 this is pretty good

I kind of want to try this.

what's your mousepad?

Can you please compare this to the model o wireless

I have a g305 and was wondering what skats i should get. Everything seems to be out of stock rn

Where I live, G304/G305 costs $40 and Orochi V2 costs $80. So, I can't agree with you.

Replacing my Pwnage Ultra Custom Ergo with this. Can't wait to try it out :)
