Razer Orochi V2 Wireless Gaming Mouse Review
Pocket mice are typically associated with productivity, given their portable, lightweight designs that let you work in an airport, coffee shop, or office. The $69.99 Razer Orochi V2 offers that same capability, but for gaming. It’s a small, wireless mouse, but with the sensor and software support of a Razer gaming mouse. The Orochi V2 isn't a full-on replacement for a standard-size gaming mouse, but it’s convenient if you want a backup input device for your laptop bag.
Dimensions and Buttons Measuring 1.4 by 2.4 by 4.2 inches (HWL), the Orochi V2 is shorter and thinner than your average gaming mouse. Even with my average-size hands, my thumb and pinky naturally drag along the mouse's surface, which isn’t ideal for responsive play. Unlike Razer’s other shrunk-down designs, such as the DeathAdder V2 Mini and Viper Mini, the Orochi has a somewhat ergonomic chassis that creates support for your hand, so playing with a palm grip works, albeit imperfectly.
Our Experts Have Tes...
Featuring a lightweight design and HyperSpeed multi-device wireless support, the Razer Orochi V2 is a solid choice for when you want to game on the road. It could use better hand support, though.
Lightweight; Bluetooth and 2.4GHz wireless support; Has HyperSpeed multi-device support; Supports AA and AAA batteries; Dongle storage
Can’t add a AA and AAA at the same time for max battery life; Small design is still less comfortable than a regular-sized mouse; Lacks RGB lighting
