Razer Rolls Out Orochi V2 Gaming Mouse with HyperSpeed Wireless Technology

Razer, the leading global lifestyle brand for gamers, today announced the Orochi V2, a compact, ultra-lightweight wireless gaming mouse capable of over 900 hours of use from a single AA battery. Equipped with ultra-low-latency Razer HyperSpeed Wireless technology and 2nd-gen Razer Mechanical Mouse Switches, the Orochi V2 combines performance and comfort in a compact design, ideal for notebook gamers.

For laptop and notebook gamers, transporting high-performance gaming gear can be a challenge, with limited space for peripherals and accessories. The Orochi V2 was designed to deliver gamers a portable, high-performance gaming mouse that is small enough to slip into the pocket or in a carry bag. Razer HyperSpeed multi-device support allows gamers to connect their Razer Orochi V2 and wireless keyboard to a single USB dongle, saving up an additional USB port for other purposes.

Ultra-lightweight universal design for all grip styles
Weighing less than 60 grams (excluding batteries), the Orochi V2's ultra-lightweight design has been created by Razer's expert engineers and honed with the feedback from mouse enthusiasts, to give a symmetrical design, making the Orochi V2 a natural fit for many different grip styles.

The tapered ends on the Orochi V2 provide a solid grip for quick, controlled flicks, while a raised back arch ensures a secure palm fit for less fatigue in extended sessions. Topped with a thumb-groove contour for stronger thumb grip and optimized side buttons for ease of access, the Orochi V2 allows users to dial in their focus on both work and play.

"Gamers shouldn't have to sacrifice performance for portability," said Alvin Cheung, Senior Vice President of Razer's Peripherals Business Unit. "The Orochi V2 uses state-of-the-art gaming grade components combined with unique lightweight design features, making it the ideal portable gaming mouse."

Performance that lasts
Requiring only a single AA or AAA battery, the Razer Orochi V2 features a hybrid battery slot, optimally positioned for balanced weight distribution. The Orochi V2 lasts over 900 hours of continuous usage in Bluetooth mode, ideal for mobile computing. Alternatively, gamers can select Razer HyperSpeed Wireless, for up to 425 hours of uninterrupted, lag-free connection.

A first-class travel companion
The Orochi V2 features the 2nd-gen Razer Mechanical Mouse Switches, with new gold-plated contact points that are less prone to degrading and have a longer lifespan of up to 60 million clicks, delivering a consistent, crisp click with every press. Additionally, the Orochi V2 features 100% PTFE mouse feet and an ultra-responsive 5G advanced optical sensor, resulting in a mouse that is the perfect add-on to any laptop-user who wants the best mouse for both productivity and performance.

Available in Black, White, or make it your own via Razer Customs
The Orochi V2 is available as standard in either Black or White colors. Those who seek to add a personalized touch and display their passion and personality will be able to choose from over 100 different designs available through Razer Customs. With a wide variety of possibilities, including multiple designs, stickers and colors, or even game-specific designs, users can utilize the many options to customize the design of their Orochi V2 to match the rest of their gaming setup.

Reviews look pretty strong on this one so far. Could potentially replace the G305. No ideal why logitech hasn't updated that mouse significantly given how popular it has been for them. They could at least make a superlight version.

900 hours from a AA seems pretty decent for a gaming mouse - i've been getting around 500 from my logitech G Pro wireless
