Razer recognizes that mobile users are gamers too, and though there appears to be far less accessories available for gaming on the go, the category isn't being completely overlooked. Enter the Orochi Mobile Gaming Mouse, a dual-mode rodent that can communicate with your notebook via a wired connection or Bluetooth. Razer today announced a new version of the Orochi, one that brings an improved laser sensor and better battery life to the mobile scene.
The new model Orochi now sports a 6400 dpi 4G sensor, up from the 4000 dpi 3G sensor found on the original, which is now a few years old. It also bumps up to Bluetooth 3.0 from 2.0, and is powered by two AA batteries optimized for extended life. According to Razer, battery life is doubled compared to its predecessor, with up to 30 hours of continuous gameplay or three months of "conventional" use.
"We want our dedicated fans to keep the ability to game at the high level they demand when they leave their home," said Robert Krakoff, co-founder and president of Razer.. "Companies including Razer make mobile gaming laptops for that and, with those, there needs to be a mobile mouse solution. The Razer Orochi answers that need. We believe we’ve ushered in a new era of mobile gaming with the extreme performance and portability of our Blade laptop and Orochi gaming mouse."
The new Orochi is available now for $70 MSRP.

I actually want to like Razer, but I have come to the conclusion that their products are shoddy. I have a $120 Mamba that doesn't work properly, and my son went through "two" 360 controllers made by them. Their product are flashy and look nice, but aren't worth a damn. They won't be getting any more of "my" money. Cheap $h!t!!

I'm getting jaded about input peripherals. All the mice, keyboards, and pen tablets I've ever used - some of them very expensive - are cheap pieces of shit that fall apart at the seems. They all make weird creaking sounds and feel like trash in my hands. Why is it that some pos Microsoft mouse cannot withstand the weight of a hand, yet a Microsoft tablet can be used as a skateboard? As a desktop user, I ain't feelin' the love.
