Looks flimsy

Plus they doubled the price from the original, 9.99 -> 19.99. Not sure why they reduced the size unless they increased the weight looks like it'll topple over more easily.

So $20 for something that can be done with a paper weight and some excess mouse cord. That page says it has anti slip feet but I agree it looks pretty flimsy. Then again those are just renderings and the technical specs aren't particularly technical.

they removed the giant silver ball weight from the original :\

defo does look like it'll topple over or get pulled easily

hopefully they made the base stupid heavy

guess i'll wait for a review before i decide if i want to replace my original mouse bungee

Just because wireless mice have improved over the years doesn't mean they should be used over wired.

1. Signal latency, no matter how you cut it's still sending a signal and no matter what that adds latency.
2. Wireless mice are usually heavy in some cases being anywhere between 300g-700g+, in some cases they don't have an internal battery and require external regular (D)AA/(T)AAA adding even more weight to the mouse.

They should be used because they are handy

Latency is below the perceivable threshold since the time of MX700

Keyboard included, maybe...

The RAT 9 I tested briefly, is one of the heaviest mice ever touched, and I think is around 180g, my M705 is around 105g, the MX revolution, I believe, is around 140g

My m705 was bought 2.5 year ago, I have still to replace their batteries, at the extreme end the rat 9 last for 12h or so and have two swappable rechargeable batteries.

Really the only disadvantage is the price, but I don't think that in a place where people is used to spend 100$+ for a set of colored keycaps, 20 euro more for a wireless mouse should matter...

I have to agree with you on this. My orochi over Bluetooth I do not notice any lag. Also have a razer naga epic wireless and it's brilliant. Charging station is nice too. No complaints on wireless mice and I'm a gamer.

It looks so damn light for a bungee. And it's for a bungee very expensive.

Replacing/recharging batteries is so annoying. I loved corded mice: it gives it a certain "balance" too. The feel of wireless is a bit different lacking the cord. I don't know, I hate the idea of my mouse using batteries that need changing. Frequently. The few wireless mice IBM made are fairly uncommon anyways (lol even some of the *corded* ones are).

Although I have to agree, the signal latency of wireless mice isn't noticeable. The ghosting on LCDs will affect you way more than a wireless mouse.

But seriously. I'm lazy. Screw wireless mice.

Most wireless mice now a days have a "Corded" option that also charges it (g700)
This means you can use the mouse corded, or wireless, and then just have it corded when you need to charge it.

Once you use a cordless mouse, going back is just a hassle. Dealing with a chord is much more frustrating than dealing with batteries IMO.

Look at this snazy thing: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fVcyY9FXsnU  It is produced by Roccat and seems a lot more stable and has more functionality.  Pretty cool, I would look in to it but I have a wireless mouse.  I hate being confined by a cord and no bungee would make me want to go back.

I have the G700 and I completely agree with what you said.  The hybrid designs are very nice and I know the Mamba does it as well.  Wonder if there are any others.

What lacks in these new high-end wireless gaming mice is optical sensor. Avago ADNS-9500, Philips Twin-Eye............. No, thanks!

I've used the rat9 for a while, the mous was crap from the ergonomics POV but the sensor was just perfect.

The orochi has also the pluggable cable.


Personally I prefer the cardle/swappable battery options over the cable. But the best option of all is the one from M705, standard duracell and three years (of heavy use) before the battery replacement.

I really like the detachable cable of my Orochi.  I wish all of Razer's mouse line up went to this standard and share similar plug profiles.  The mamba, naga epic, and orochi are all wireless but can go wired mode and I almost always use my Orochi in wired, but I store it away often for transport and disconnect the cable from the mouse frequently.  It was a big selling point in my choice to get a KBC poker and then eventually the HHKB which both have detachable mini USB cable standards.  Easy for transport as a laptop user/gamer.  The 3ft cord is also a plus for me on a laptop =) less clutter.
