The Razer Orochi V2 is a high-quality gaming mouse with impressive specs. It has a 18,000 DPI, is extremely lightweight at just 2.11oz / 60g, up to 950 hours of battery life, Bluetooth wireless and a 2.4GHz wireless connectivity, and 60 million click lifecycle. And thanks to this deal, this level of mouse is within budget pricing for those not willing to spend nearly $100 for a top-tier mouse.

The only real downside to this mouse is that it's not rechargeable. Instead it either takes AA or AAA batteries. According to Razer, the mouse lasts 450 hours with AA batteries over 2.4 or 950 hours with a Bluetooth connection, though it drops to 42 hours over 2.4 and 317 hours on Bluetooth when using a AAA battery.
