Comment

Con
 G10 button gets stuck

The Logitech G700 has problems with its G buttons sticking especially the 10.
Comment

Con
 Lift off distance is high

The list off distance on the Logitech G700 is too high.
Comment

Con
 Unpleasant to the touch

The sides are made of a strange grainy plastic that somehow manages to be both rough to the touch and slippery at the same time.
Comment

Con
 Somewhat heavy

Due to its wireless functionality the mouse is, with a weight of 147g (5.19oz), much heavier than most wired gaming mice.
Comment

Pro
 Good for palm and figertip grip

Its ergonomic shape and thumb tray allows the device to be good for pal and fingertip grips.
Comment

Pro
 Portable

Meant to be taken around with the user the small form factor allows for easy portability.
Comment

Pro
 Ambidextrous

With buttons supplied on both sides of the device it can be used with either the left or right hand.
Comment

Con
 No included bluetooth adapter

Users will need a PC with bluetooth already built in or their own adapter as the Orochi does not supply one with the mouse.
Comment

Con
 Poor wireless range

Even minor obstructions will give problems to the connectivity of this mouse.
Comment

Con
 Bluetooth adds lag to gameplay

While an okay mouse for work the bluettoth connection adds lag to gaming, which may not be an issue for some but will be for others specifically FPS gamers.
Comment

Pro
 Lightweight

Comment

Con
 DPI button at bottom

It would have been nicer to have the RGB toggle button at the bottom of the mouse and the DPI button on top.
Comment

Pro
 Fast and precise

Comment

Pro
 Swappable side magnetic panels

There are swappable magnetic side panels comprised of two thumb grip and two finger rest panels. This allows for users to customize the size and shape to their liking.

 Rechargeable (and removable) AA battery

There is an included rechargeable AA battery that offers 12 hours of gaming time. It can also be swapped with another battery if needed.
Comment

Con
 Expensive

At $149.99 this is a pretty expensive device, even if it is wireless.
Comment

 Ambidextrous

The Razer Ouroboros is and ambidextrous device so left or right handers can use it equally.
