RAZER Orochi Black Bluetooth Notebook Gaming Mouse

The Razer Orochi brings mobile gaming mouse standards to new heights with its small form factor and bleeding-edge technology. Equipped with a gaming-grade laser sensor and dual mode wired/wireless functionality, the Razer Orochi uses Bluetooth technology to address your need for portability and ease of use with a wired mode option for gaming grade performance. Gaming on the go is now possible. Pros: Flawless wired/wireless transitions, turns power off while in wired mode (doesn't use battery while plugged in), can even use without batteries (wired only of course), looks great!, acceptably (surprisingly) comfortable for a notebook mouse, huge fan of the LARGE teflon pads at every corner (I know they made a mat to go with the Orochi, but if you're truly using it for a mobile mouse you may not always have a nice desk/flat surface to put a pad on, so it's nice to know the feet'll last for awhile on less than perfect surfaces). I haven't noticed any "finicky" issues with the sensor like I had experienced with my Lachesis, it tracks amazingly well on substandard surfaces (the Lachesis NEEDS a quality hard pad...) and my all-time gaming mouse requirement - firm tactile feedback on the main mouse buttons. I don't know about anyone else, but I hate squishy buttons, so this is a welcome design choice. Really, it fits perfectly into the role it was designed for in my opinion. Cons: Well, you should understand that this IS a mobile mouse - it's small for a gaming mouse...but that's kind of its main role...so don't let that surprise you (the razerzone website shows size comparisons to give you an idea). Also, I can't really imagine this would be anyone's main/only (gaming) mouse, so it makes for an expensive secondary mouse. My only personal "con" is the decision to have the glossy sides - I understand you wouldn't want rubber/sticky surfaces close to the surface/pad to avoid grabbing the pad/surface, but c'mon - it's a small mouse, you'll grip it mostly by the sides by design (at least I do), it's annoying to have your grip slide when lifting or reorienting the mouse. I know it looks good, but please include at least a small area to grip on the sides other than the buttons... Other Thoughts: The top of the mouse is attached by magnets, you just pull the rubber coated portion straight up off the body of the mouse, and the batteries are right there. Threw me off at first, thought I broke it :) Works better than I thought though. Overall, a great product for its intended market, "especially" for dual wired/wireless features (keep in mind, because of the bluetooth, the sensor is limited in DPI and polling rate while in wireless mode). Say what you want, but I personally love the aesthetics of Razer mice and peripherals, and this one is definitely a looker. Great job Razer, I love having options, so keep expanding your product line! (I bought my Orochi from a different site, they've been hard to find in stock anywhere, so pleased to see them finally listed on Newegg - just so you know, I didn't get mine from here, although I would have in an instant if they were available - better prices and shipping from the Egg in most cases!)
