Razer supports OS X for several of their gamer-grade mice, namely: the Mamba, Naga, Imperator, Orochi, DeathAdder, and the left-handed version of the DeathAdder. I’ve been playing with the Orochi for the past two months. I’ll soon review the new 3500DPI version of the DeathAdder. I’ll also review its big brother, the Imperator. (Razer graciously provided all three for us to review.)
The Orochi is a tiny mouse. From the outset I figured that I’d like it more than the other two since, of the three, its size compares best to my Magic Mouse. Like Razer’s Mamba, the Orochi supports both wireless and wired play. It connects wirelessly to the Mac via Bluetooth 2.0. It sports a 3G Laser sensor. It has seven buttons, on-board memory, and Teflon feet. In wired mode it can poll up to 1000Hz and track up to 4000DPI. At first these numbers didn’t mean much to me, so I did a little reading. So before we start, I’ll regurgitate a bit of mouse technology as well as the advantages of Razer mice. The latter, of course, is according to my primary reading source, the Razer website.
Without elegance, here we go.
