    I just received my Orochi and wired it works fine but bluetooth I cannot get it to connect unless I have the mouse on the palmrest of the laptop. As soon as I move it off the palmrest I loose connection. I tried to update the firmware, new batteries and even another bluetooth mouse which works fine.

    Any ideas?

    I have a Razer Bluetooth mouse too (not Orochi) and I notice that mine stutters a lot due to wireless interference, which is a lot more noticeable when transferring files and such. I know it's probably not what's going on with you but you may want to try disabling the wlan on the laptop and see what happens anyway. Otherwise, it sounds like a problem with the mouse.
