RAZER LAUNCHES THE WORLD’S MOST PRECISE NOTEBOOK GAMING MOUSE

New sensor, extended battery life and Chroma lighting make the all-new Razer Orochi the most advanced mobile gaming mouse

BERLIN (IFA), Germany – Razer™, a world leader in connected devices and software for gamers, today announced the complete re-design of the popular Razer Orochi notebook gaming mouse. The Razer Orochi was designed ground up for mobile gamers and features the world’s most precise mouse sensor for on the go gaming.

Retaining the name of its predecessor, the new Razer Orochi features the latest in sensor and battery technology to give gamers pinpoint accuracy and more than double the playing time in wireless mode. Complimenting this overhaul, Razer has also added Chroma lighting, dual mode connectivity and a completely re-engineered shell with a metal top to make the Razer Orochi the most advanced notebook mouse to date.

At the heart of the new Razer Orochi is a 4G, 8,200 DPI laser sensor – the highest DPI sensor ever designed into a mobile gaming mouse. The result is pinpoint precise tracking for incredible accuracy and movement speeds of up to 210 inches per second with 50 G acceleration, making the Razer Orochi ideal for every game and play style, from fast reaction FPS-gameplay through to high accuracy MOBAs. By utilizing the latest in Bluetooth Low Energy technology, the new Razer Orochi has more than double the battery life of its predecessor with over 60 hours of continuous gaming use, or 7 months of normal use, from a single charge. It is ideal for wireless notebook use with a polling rate of 125 Hz, which increases to a blistering 1000 Hz when used in wired mode, ideal for gaming.

“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 new Razer Orochi also features Razer’s industry leading Chroma lighting, giving users the choice of 16.8 million color options with which to customize their mouse. As with previous Chroma products, customizing the Razer Orochi is achieved within seconds through Razer Synapse, Razer’s cloud-based hardware configurator.

By connecting the Razer Orochi with Razer Synapse, users are able to customize their lighting settings, calibrate their Razer Orochi to the surface they are using, assign macros and functions to the seven mouse buttons, and save all their settings to the cloud for use no matter where they are.
