A rodent for road warriors
The falling costs of gaming laptops has made them accessible to a wider audience, so it only makes sense that gaming peripheral makers pay some attention to the market segment. That's true of Razer, which today announced the complete redesign of its Orochi notebook gaming mouse.
You can connect the Orochi using its 1m (3.28ft) braided fiber USB charging cable or use it in wireless mode via Bluetooth 4.0. If you go the wireless route, you take a hit in Ultrapolling (125Hz, compared to 1,000Hz) and response time (8ms, compared to 1ms).
In addition to dual mode connectivity, the redesigned rodent now sports an 8,200 DPI 4G laser sensor, customizable Chroma lighting, a re-engineered shell with a metal top, and new rubberized side grips for better control and comfort.
"With the recent advances in sensor and Bluetooth technology, it was time for us to bring the Orochi up to date, which involved a complete redesign of the entire mouse from ground up," says Min-Liang Tan, Razer co-founder and CEO. "We’ve retained the portable form factor and added rubberized side grips, but on the inside is where the big changes have happened – this is a whole new feature packed mobile gaming mouse."
The Orochi is an ambidextrous mouse with seven programmable buttons and on-the-fly sensitivity adjustment. It uses a pair of AA batteries, which Razer says will last up to 60 hours of continuous gaming or 7 months of "normal" usage.
You can pre-order the Orochi now for $60; it will ship at the end of the month.
