Watch BEFORE Buying This Mouse! Orochi v2 Long Term Review 

After being mouse addict for a while, the orochi has been my main for a year. I use it with a claw grip. If you like a small mouse, it's the most comfortable one out there at least for me, and I've tried all of them. Love it.

I've had 3 Orochi's over the last year, mainly just because I fell in love with it. I originally owned a black one, then a white one as I wanted a white one, and now I've bought a third as I moved home to my parents for 6 weeks and forgot to bring a mouse, all still work well for me. Was tempted to try a fancier mouse like a GPX or a Lamzu Atlantis, but I thought there was no need changing. I also think I claw grip it, although I'm honestly not completely sure. I also have never used the Bluetooth mode, don't see the point in it. Only gone through 4 lithium AA batteries in a year, using them solely on 2.4 GHz mode.

Very informative video. I was debating getting the Orochi for the flexible bluetooth + usb dongle, but the issues you listed are highly important. Subbed

Great review, man. I really appreciate your thoughts after using it long term. The sensor placement and my aiming style will fit this mouse really well.

just got this mouse. It feels very natural in my hand. Even though it is small, it feels more natural than many other larger mouse in my hand. Love the clicking on the buttons.

when it comes to the side button placement, i think they made them like this because side buttons tend to be a must-have for claw and only a bonus for fingertip

Very nice review! The part about undetected/pairing issues with Orochi V2 (ORV2) using Bluetooth caught my attention and thought that this might help address it: 1. Turn on BT on device and on ORV2 2. Hold the two side buttons and DPI button under the scroll wheel (you'll basically be clicking three stuff simultaneously) for 3 seconds 3. The blue light under the DPI button should blink 2-4 times, indicating that the mouse is in pairing mode 4. You should be seeing ORV2 in your device list by now Hope this helps you and/or the others who encountered this problem :)

I have two orochi v2 one at home and one at work, i use both daily for at least 8 hours for more than a year and never had a single issue of what you are reporting.

Ty for the honest review.

I swear i use orochi like 1,5 years , still no issue ,God mouse , with adapter aaa battery + tiger ice . Im buy so many dav3, pulsar, GPX but im back to orochi . The problem orochi is dpi deviation , 800 dpi like 900+ dpi, so u guys just adjust on synapse or ingame sensitivity.. Remember update firmware .

My main is orochi v2+aaa lithium+supeglides+cordura pad, i love that combo .

Good review! I would have gone for the Aria but I found the Orochi on sale. Just got it, and I love the shape

Double clicking and scroll wheel issues after 9 months of use. How's your mouse?

the bluetooth that died, was that only on one of the mice? For the other one, have you considered just replacing the broken side button with some soldering and replacement switch?

While others may find the side button positioning weird I personally love where they are. It’s the only mouse I’ve found that actually places the side buttons exactly where I need them. Obviously that’s just a personal preference, but not having to alter my grip to utilize them has been a game changer for me. I have small hands but long fingers and have a grip kind of in between claw and finger tip. If you have small hands but not long thumbs those side buttons would probably be awkward.

which would you recommend for small hands and fingertip grip? fan tech aria or orochi v2? my old orochi v2 lmb broke so i’m thinking of buying a new mouse

thank you for your balanced and unbiased review. i recently got this orochi v2 and hoping there wont be any problem with mine *fingerscrossed

My orochi buttons pretty much died after 2 months, but Im actually gonna Mod it with new switches for the first time tomorrow. Overall the idea razer had was good just wish the quality was better.

Used a Pro Click Mini for a couple years, then moved up to an Atheris. Couple odd mice later, recently got a Basilisk v3. Got this Orochi out of curiosity, it's ok but really sort of meh after the Basilisk though I realize it's a totally different use case.

If Fantech made an XD3 V3 with the same sensor, specs and features of the Aria, that would be an instant buy from me. Unfortunately my hand gets numb and cramps up with the shape of the g305 so I don't think the Aria would be the right fit for me.

Love the mouse. The only thing i dont like is that they put the AAA slot in the bad place and AA in the perfect place. For tryhard gamers it shoud've been the opposite way around... We want a lighter mouse for aim, but also a balanced mouse. having a battery all the way in the back makes it feels unbalanced and wobbly when moving it around.

Me and my friend have orochi and ours did not even lasted a year before the mouse isnt fully working but we can see the sensor light on we tried to fix but nothing works. It is a very good temporary mouse but not a long lasting one.

Really nice review! I also consider AW720m don't it is worth for that price range.

This mouse doesn't work for me on wireless 3.0 usb or bt sadly, too buggy

Is there any double click issues on orochi and aria xd7?

i really like your mouse pad where did you get it

I like this mouse but for some reason no matter what usb port I try on my pc I tried usb 3.0 and 3.1 and the mouse will randomly skip for a second and the green light on top will light up like it’s reconnecting does anyone know how I could fix this I have had this mouse for awhile now and it’s like the only issue I have with it

I just purchased this yesterday. I hope I don't encounter the connectivity issue. Let me see how common it is...

miss the old overwatch :(

Where is the firmware update link?

Orochi v2 vs Pulsar v2 xlite mini please 🤙🏼

By far the best mouse I've ever used. But its dying. Doesnt wake up from sleep (on 2.4Hz, NOT bluetooth) and right now even turning it off and on, on a brand new battery, also not starting. Some circuitery might be damaged or something, but there have been no fall for a looooong time.

Just ordered it hopefully no issues with side buttons occur c: because I don't care about Bluetooth

exceptionally heavy? It's like 60g...?

very very true that Razer has ALWAYS had durability issues. I've been thru keyboards, mice, etc. Sad because Razer has nice stuff in terms of design but just not worth it.

Mine has a wonky wheel after ~2 years

So no one is going to talk about the 3ms ? This is basically a office mouse for gaming ...

Worst mouse I ever owned, it only lasted a few months, it was going thru batteries a lot up until it just died completely, buttons were too sensitive, clicked things I didn't want to click. Another thing, the bad designed battery setup, it takes one AAA and one AA, why not just one specific size?

can you do razer pro click mini?

Still can’t decide between this or g305

I hate this mouse, I can't seem to find a good grip for it, and my hands is only 19x10. I think I just hate short mouse. This mouse is too small. That's why people prefer the Aria
