    This is the new mouse that Razer is releasing soon however, I can't find any info to what kind of grip it is. It looks like a claw/palm but I can't tell. Anyone know?

    Engadget says it's ambidextrous, and judging by the hump in its back I'll go with Palm style. Unless maybe it's just a bad angle making the slope seem more pronounced...

    Looks like a cool mouse, just a bit expensive for my tastes ($80)

    Do most bluetooth mice lag as much as people say? The one I received from Dell doesn't seem to have noticeable lag, but I haven't done much gaming.

    Yea, so they say.
    However, this is a gaming mouse, so I guess it should be snappier than some other Bluetooth mice.

    Looks like I'm gonna buy it :D

    Wait, Razerzone says:
    I'm not sure how you understand this 'feature,' but I think this hints to a standard Bluetooth performance and improved, gaming performance once you connect the wire (mind you, I'm guessing).

    Ambidextrous totally ruins it imo...

    Also, it's awfully bulky by the looks of it. With the accessories and all, might be worth just to bring a normal razor mouse and twist tie the wire

    Oh wow, this comes in as soon as I buy my DeathAdder after giving up looking for a Bluetooth gaming mouse (-.-') (made only more depressing by the fact that Woot had a special on DAs ($19) the day before my DA ($50) arrived, Woot's was refurbished but depressing nonetheless)

    I pre-ordered one of these as I was writing a news article on it, couldn't resist. :p

    I have been buying Razer products for years, I have yet to find anything better for my uses/tastes.

    I talked to a Razer Rep. via the LIVE help and she told me that the Razer Orochi is a Claw/Finger-tip grip mouse. That is odd because it looks like it would be a palm.

    Lang from Razer said that the promo pics for the Orochi don't do it justice and that it's really sexy :)

    Since my Deathadder is still working fine I might pick this up instead of the Mamba as a travel companion.

    I want to get the Mamba but it is just too expensive at the moment. Mabye the Orochi is a good alternative... but it may be just too small.

    Don't expect that a BT mouse will be decent to use in gaming (at least in the non wired mode) ;)

    I don't. I just don't want any wires in my bed, and using touchpad isn't very comfortable in lying position. And I'm still a passionate player. The shape and size also seem to fit well in my hands. The Orochi meets my requirements perfectly. Only thing I hate about it is that I have to wait until it gets in stock again.

    well it has 8ms response in bluetooth mode so i dont know how much that will affect gaming performance. All i know is that it looks cool but i already own two razer mice. i would gladly sell my copperhead for the Orochi tho, having a brother-sister combo then (mamba/orochi).
