I finally decided to break free from Logitech and try something new for my gaming setup, picking up my very first Razer mouse. After hours of researching, I landed on the Orochi V2 because it checked all my boxes: dual connectivity (Bluetooth + 2.4 GHz) and solid battery life—sounds like a winner, right?
Well, at first glance, it seemed like the perfect choice. But once I started using it via Bluetooth, oh boy, it was downhill from there. The connectivity is an absolute nightmare. It takes forever to detect on Windows, sometimes outright refuses to connect, stutters relentlessly, forgets its pairing after a power cycle, and needs constant re-pairing. It’s like trying to maintain a relationship with a partner who has commitment issues.
And here’s the kicker—it’s the 'Version 2' model! Released back in April 2021, so this thing has been out for close to four years now. You’d think Razer would have ironed out the kinks by now, especially considering how highly regarded the brand is in the gaming world. Yet the Bluetooth connectivity issues persist! Like seriously?
For reference, I have about five other Bluetooth mice and keyboards that work flawlessly across the board. Not only is this a Razer problem, but it’s apparently a widespread one judging by the flood of similar complaints from other users. Despite all this, Razer is still selling the Orochi V2 without addressing the core design/firmware flaws—I mean, come on, we deserve better than this!
At this point, I honestly don’t think it’s a QC issue or a faulty batch. It feels more like a fundamental design or firmware failing—and that's unacceptable from a product that positions itself as a premium option. Razer really needs to step up their game.
