Razer Orochi or Logitech anywhere?

I play on a very lame table that doesn't slide smooth at all in my schools library. My current logitech blows on it, I want something that is USB ported, preferably with a USB slot to store the usb port on the bottom of the mouse. I want something that works perfectly on all surfaces.

I love my Razer Naga

 

I use my logitech mx518 and it works perfectly on my desk without a pad or anything. I dont know about the Naga, but my friends has the mamba (i think) and i hate it cause it just feels so plastic-y unlike my 518.

I might just be the crappy surface that isnt too mouse friendly. Have you thought about just buying a mouse pad? Or even go into your local computer shop and see if theyre giving any for free

 

If you want something that works on all surfaces, then the Logitech Anywhere MX (or its bigger brother, the Performance MX) is the one to get. They have the Darkfield sensor in it, which is by far the best imaging sensor I have ever used in a mouse (and I go through a LOT of mice).

They market the Darkfield tracking as being so precise, it can track on transparent glass and polished granite. What that actually means in practice is that the mouse tracks on any surface. I've used it on surfaces that would choke other optical / laser mice like glass tables, airplane seat cushions, airplane food trays, my laptop bag, my pants, etc. Perfect every single time, that you won't find with other imaging sensors.

The mouse connects via a USB nano receiver. It is small enough to plug into your laptop and just leave it plugged in all the time. But if you do want to take it out, you can store it in the bottom of either the Logitech Anywhere MX or Performance MX.

 

Microsoft IntelliMouse (400 DPI with no mouse acceleration)

Pin-point accuracy. All pro gamers use this mouse.

 

Hehe... I think you forgot the /s.

 

What is /s?

 

Exactly... All pro gamers actually opt for the Logitech G518 btw.

 

BTW, I'm on a Logitech G700 wireless/wired mouse and I wouldn't give that up for anything else. Best accessory for the M11x.

 

Gaming mice have nothing to do with what jdaw2552 needs.

Gaming mice specialize in high-DPI sensors, high USB polling rates, lots of programmable buttons, lots of macros, onboard storage of mouse profiles, and good mouse configuration software.

The OP didn't ask for any of that. The OP wanted a mouse that worked reliably on less-than-perfect mousing surfaces. And for that, the best mice are the Logitech Performance MX and Logitech Anywhere MX, because of the Darkfield imaging sensor that they use.

A gaming mouse is not always the same as a mouse that works well on less-than perfect surfaces. All gaming mice will fail on glass. All gaming mice will fail on polished granite. Some gaming mice (e.g. Cyborg R.A.T.7) will even fail when used on a smooth laminated desk surface, and require an actual mouse pad.

I love gaming mice. I own several of them. But a gaming mouse is not the answer to jdaw2552's problem.

 

The orochi is a really small mouse so you might not like it if you have bigger hands. I learned this the hardway and ultimately ended up using my logitech more often as it's much more comfortable for me to use.

 

I own both and have used them both extensively, for the best surface performance on less than ideal surfaces; the Logitech Anywhere MX wins everytime.

 

I can't speak for the Logitech, but I do own the Orochi. The mouse is like a mini Mamba (which I use for my desktop, which is the best mouse i've owned yet), its a great mouse, works amazingly but if your expecting good battery life, dont.

THe mouse tends to die or go red on me within 3 weeks at times. I only use the mouse in corded mode...which is one amazing feature, since you have a choice between cordless or corded. (Same as the mamaba)

It is a very expensive mouse though, and your paying for the simple and sexy look (also the amazing lens)...but battery life is just terrible. So if you dont mind that, than the Orochi is great.

 

I'll add that my Razer Orochi matches the notebook PERFECTLY! Especially when I enable the blue LED scroll wheel to match my blue AlienFX.

razer orochi and naga.. got the red molten naga for my gf

love them both. works great on most surfaces except for glass.

 

Well I do love me a gaming mouse.


I am looking for a smaller mouse
How would an Orochi perform on a sticky surfaces?

I'm more looking for somethign that works real smooth on everything

I wish the Orochi had more buttons

 

If you want a small mouse that works (tracks) smoothly on all surfaces, then you'll want a Logitech Anywhere MX.

The Razer Orochi is marketed as a "gaming" mouse, but only operates at full performance in wired mode (4000dpi, up to 1000Hz USB polling rate). In wireless mode, the mice perform nearly identically (~2000dpi, 125Hz polling rate).

The main advantage of the Logitech Anywhere MX is the Darkfield imaging sensor, which lets the mouse track on any surface. The Razer Orochi only uses a standard laser sensor, which gives the mouse trouble on some surface types.

 

Agree with Kent. The MX is a great mouse and gets awesome reviews. However, if you are really looking for a good wireless gaming mouse, the Logitech G700 is your best bet. The Orochi is nice but not so great as a wireless gaming mouse.

 

Do you guys know any smooth five button small wireless mouses?

 

I can Confirm this. I need a mouse pad for some surfaces well said

 

Razer Orochi and Kabuto Mousepad, works perfectly
Love the fact that the Orochi uses normal bluetooth, so I don't have to waste any USB-slot to a dongle.
