    Anyone here have the 2013 version of the Orochi that also had the original version? Any noticeable difference between the two?

    The 2013 model uses different software (it's cloud-connected so theoretically speaking, it will sync preferences between multiple computers). Other than that, I don't think there's a difference.

    bluetooth 2.0 vs 3,0 and a different senor are the main differences.

    I've actually been curious about this as well... I have had the original for a few years, and really like it, but its not really good at gaming while wireless... huge difference once plugged in. Would love to hear if the new version properly solves this issue.

    Is the wake-up lag problem fixed?

    Yes. I have both Orochis. While the old one would sleep in like 3-5 seconds, the new one doesn't do so for approx 60 seconds
