The best Razer mouse, but still not very good

Before I start my review, I should briefly state some facts about my origins. I am currently using the Cooler Master MM720 on an Artisan Raiden tablet. I grab my fingertips at around 1600 DPI. I'm by no means a pro, just a guy who likes a good lightweight mouse. I have used many of the latest Razer mice and have found that they all lack in some way. Whether due to poor form or just plain stupid design choices, every Razer mouse seemed to have one fatal flaw. However, after seeing the announcement of Orochi v2, I thought maybe Razer had finally done it. Maybe they've finally made a mouse without a clear mistake. Unfortunately it isn't. Before I get into the reasons why, I'll start with what's really good about this mouse. The coating feels great right from the start. It has a nice texture and feels much better than the cheap ABS on my MM720. All pressings have pleasant tactile sensations. The scroll wheel is also heavy enough. Compared to the MM720, the shape of the Orochi looks amateurish and poorly thought out. While the thumb groove on the left is well done, I found little to no support for my pinky or ring finger. It feels like these areas should have been expanded a bit to allow me to hold the mouse more securely. Also, the hump on top of the mouse is too far forward and not high enough. That makes it practically useless for people like me who often like to rest their knuckles on the mouse when I'm not moving it. The mouse also scratched on my pad which was annoying. How is this still relevant in 2021? Overall, the Orochi v2 is Razer's best mouse, but it's still not worth buying. I really hope that at some point this company will be able to get together and release something really special, but to be honest it seems more and more unlikely as time goes on.
