welcome to yet another By Request unboxing I have received countless
inquiries about the Razer uroboros oroboros oroboros whatever it
means a dragon eating its own tail and it's like some kind of ancient symbol or
something and basically it is their new
super uber premium ambid dextr gaming
mouse it comes in a similar to Mamba esque packaging that I remember caused
such a s stir back when the Mamba came out remember guys the Mamba was the
first wireless gaming mouse that really performed like a wired gaming mouse even
though it was Wireless so they're using a similar type of technology in this one
where they're saying that you have the option of using it Wireless with less
than one millisecond of delay remember guys most LCDs are on the order of 10 to
30 plus milliseconds of DeLay So an extra 1 millisecond on your mouse is not
going to be the difference between oh input leg is so bad versus oh it you
know is fine and it's like awesome and just like the Mamba you have the option
to run it wirelessly or you can charge
the battery and use it wired at the exact same
time with the included braided cable so you can use it in wired or Wireless mode
no big deal here's another thing I love check this out something that drove me
crazy about my G7 I used a G7 for a couple years actually was the fact that
it had those stupid custom battery packs
now you never ever have to worry about not having a battery that's charged
enough to use in your mouse even once the batteries start to wear out that's
another thing that happened to G7 users just uses a standard doublea battery and
nickel metal hydride batteries will charge in the mouse so please be sure
not to use anything other than a nickel metal hydride battery because if it
starts to try and charge it it might be bad I don't know if it would I don't
know that it would but I'm just sort of saying in general put in a nickel metal
hydride battery it won't kill you all right experience the new standard of
precision with the 4G dual sensor system outfitted with both a laser and an
optical sensor to accurately calibrate the mouse for exceptional surface tracking and customizable liftoff
Heights there you go 8200 DPI crazy
unrivaled gaming grade Wireless technology means the oros it's well okay
yeah we've covered that already three customizable parts more on this later
and a bunch of other languages approximate size and weight and a bunch of things that we don't care about all
right razor so good at packaging let's see what they've included with this one
we've got some razor stickers we've got some razor
documentation that's not really the word for it at all all right what's this guy
congratulations there's no turning back like us on Facebook and all that jazz
there's a picture of the mouse next to a razor blade all right synapse 2.0
synapse 2.0 is cool they have also updated synapse 2.0 since it came out to
make it like way better because all your settings are still there even if you're
in offline mode so when you're online it'll grab all your settings and all
your games and all that cool stuff from the cloud and then when you're offline
it'll just take whatever the local copy is so synapse very very very neat stuff
it's kind of like uh valves valves cloud service where it remembers your game
settings synapse remembers regardless of which computer you're on regardless of
what games it is you just log into synaps and it remembers your Macros and
all that good stuff for you hold Infinity in the palm of your hand okay
yeah this is about the adjustabl so we'll more on that after quick start
guide product guide for other razor products syapse 2.0 oh no this is just
this product guide so a bunch of oh yeah a bunch of good stuff in there including the software and then another language
product guide now let's see if I can figure out how to get this bad boy out
of here so pull this off okay which
should do something there we go all right that
comes out of there I remember with the mamba I really struggled with it uh to
get it off of the little pedestal that it was on inside the packaging so
hopefully this one I can figure out it's been a long time since I did my Mamba
unboxing but I hope this one is a little bit easier to to do okay yeah that's on
there pretty darn good let's see if we can figure this here out so there's a
there's an arrow ah there we go that's not so bad okay
it's not that heavy actually it's surprisingly light so once I figure out
where all this stuff is I will be back in a moment and then I'll show you what
makes this pretty much as adjustable and customizable as it gets on top of its
outstanding performance so the or or
oroboros is coming in as a customizable
Mouse so there's a few different parameters that you can adjust number
one is the position of the Palm rest see
I'm going to go ahead I'm going to take that see how you can tilt it like that
for you know a larger hand where you're going to Palm the mouse uh and then you
can also tilt it completely the other way now it's very subtle looking how the
profile of the mouse changes when you adjust this but what I discovered and my
wife and I are playing around with it off camera for a little while here
actually she's a very fussy fussy Mouse
user and as am I uh what we discovered is it actually makes an enormous
difference to the feel of the mouse and we were able to get it dialed in to the
point where both of us were like okay yeah CU When I first handed her the
mouse she went but then we played around with that
as well as the length so you can adjust the length of the mouse here she has
kind of long fingers and slim hands so you can go ahead and you just push this
piece down right here okay and that disengages it from the track so you can
go ahead and go Click by click and adjust the length of the mouse so you can go from all the way to a size that's
comfortable for me so you got my my small hands here see so that's that's
comfortable for me and then you can take it all the way out to the point where
slick could probably use it comfortably I kind of wish he was here to try it out
for me but there you go to the point where I'll put my hand on the back of
the mouse and my fingers barely make it to the wheel so you could have fingers
that are you know this much longer than mine and you'd still be comfortable
using the oroboros at its full length and then you've got about three
adjustment notches in between those so that's really cool as well last but not
least you've got magnetic pieces on the sides so here you can adjust it however
want so you can go okay I'm a palm grip user I want my pinky to have something
to rest on I want my thumb to have a rubberized grip and oh these are cool
too so these are gear locks check this out so it's again this mouse is totally
ambidextrous you can adjust it either way for left-handed or right-handed use
so what these guys do is particularly with the grippy sides in place they
allow you to adjust your DPI while
you're holding it down so you can lock those buttons off so you can put as much
pressure as you want to lift it off the mouse pad or whatever else you want or
you can unlock them so they turn into a
button you can go okay da da da da da full speed hold down sniping at low uh
at uh at low sensitivity let go and
you're back to full speed this is a 100
times better of an implementation versus mice like aari laser where you got a
button here that toggles your DPI this
is not easy to hit in the heat of battle whereas this is part of your natural
movement and you can do it as easily as as anything else so I I'm actually I
really like that particular feature I'm going to go ahead and lock these off for
now and again you can configure it completely the other way these are
magnets so they're super easy to put in place but they won't come off
accidentally you have to kind of fight with them to get them off so well not
fight with them but you have to you have to mean it okay so same thing you can
adust it for left-handed use here now if there was something that I had to
complain about with the shape of the oroboros it would be that I don't really
have a place to put my ring finger so here watch this guys I'm just going to
go ahead put this on the mouse pad here so you can see so my thumb I can rest here or I can
adjust it with the rubberized grip and I can rest on that if I'm more of a claw
user and I want to hold the mouse like that I can even do this and I can I can
claw the mouse like that go ahead and adjust this in lots of different ways to
use it whether you're a palm user or a claw user this is probably how I'd use it as a claw user bring it down nice and
short and then use it like that um all
right so I can rest my thumb there with either of those options uh index and
middle finger those are fine pinky finger I can either rest right here on
the little wing or I can throw this guy on again and I can uh I can use it as a
as a claw grip I don't really have somewhere to put this finger so it tends
to kind of fall down here where it gets caught on this sharp piece right here
this sharp piece right here it tends not to really be able to reach these two
buttons on the other side of the mouse so this contrasts with something like a steel series Sensei where you can
actually it's ambidextrous and it has front and back buttons on both sides but
you can actually reach those on the other side whereas these ones are
positioned a little bit further back which I think is a function of the
adjustable nature of the mouse where if you were pulling it all the way back
well that's where they would need to be to be comfortably used and if you put
them way up here that user with their Palm at the back of the M like this
wouldn't be able to reach them so in order for everyone to be able to reach
them for us small-handed users it becomes sort of a non-optimal location
where I can't really press these comfortably with my pinky um and these
ones with my thumb are sort of more of a um a base of the thumb and then middle
of the thumb buttons whereas on something like a G9 these are middle of
the thumb tip of the thumb buttons and same for an aari laser so the reason I
have a G9 and an aari laser here those are myor favorite mice one of them is
more of a claw grip Mouse for me and the other one's more of a palm grip Mouse for me and I wanted to take this jack of
all trades and compare it to what I consider to be the masters of those
particular trades all right so back to the buttons that are on the mouse so you
got your left your right Mouse button your scroll wheel really nice scroll
wheel on this guy you see those raised bumps right there very very comfortable
nice soft rubber really good grip love it sensitivity up sensitivity down
adjustable Palm rest and rear panel that we've already been through so here are
your one two three buttons on each side
one two three you can program all of these in the synapse software don't
forget that guys next you've got those gear locks that I showed you before m is
Ultra Stick M ah Ultra slick Ultra Stick
Mouse feet you put it down on your pad you can't move no I'm just kidding Ultra
slick so you got them here here here on the bottom of the Wings and on the
bottom of the magnetic removable piece P here so those are all over the bottom
you've also got okay rear panel button recliner wheel yep yep 8200 DPI sensors
one two and rechargeable battery USB
connector ah yes USB connector cable so if you want to plug that baby in all you
do is go like well something looks like
it locks into some sort of piece of something there there you go goldplated
so it's good stuff you got a nice braided cable here so you shouldn't have
any issues with that again gold plated connector on the other side it's funny
they gold plate this part but the only part that actually has to be goldplated is the connectors inside but I think it
looks more L bling that way so I can understand why they do it charging 4
hours 4 hours gets you to 90% battery that's really cool so it's kind of like
the uh it's kind of like my iPhone 4 where I can give it a quick zap and I
can get back going pretty quickly but it actually takes quite a while to get to
full charge so 4 hours for 90% 8 hours
for 100% so that lasts little bit takes quite a while and there's instructions
here on how to actually uh take the
battery out so you slide this bad boy up and you go ahead and load the battery in
there just like that oh and it glows green folks very
very nice so you've got green glowing accents here here and here and here
which looks really really really really cool then we're going to go ahead and
put that back where back where I want it and I want the uh I want the wing over
here I love how quickly you can adjust things on it I mean you've got adjustable mice I mean things like G9 is
adjustable it comes with two different outer pieces as well as adjustable
weights but it takes like you know you got to like take this off and take go
get another one it's kind of a pain whereas this is actually you know you
can have all the pieces on and off with magnets basically so Wireless M yeah I
don't think we're I don't think we're really missing anything here how to pair it you press the button press the other
button not a big deal so you know what
let me connect it and I'll have a look at what I think cuz I was super stoked on the G6 from Logitech it looked like
the perfect ergonomics for me still love the ergonomics of it great button layout
but the sensor just felt laggy so I'm going to go ahead I'm going to install
the drivers for this guy and let's see what I think so if you guys were wondering what 8200 DPI looks like I
think we really have reached the point where we're at the limit of how much DPI
is needed I have my mouse pointer up in the very top left corner I move the
mouse that much it's in the bottom left corner did you even see how much watch
I'm going to do it again magic trick okay bottom left top
right so I think that's a little bit on the high side for me personally but you
can adjust the stages so you can sort of
go and you can configure where you want
the various there we go configure sensitivity changes you can have up to
five stages so it's at 800 1800 4, 6,400
etc etc etc I find with higher resolution monitors you do need the
higher DPI settings but this is just a 1080p monitor so something like 800 to
1,000 would probably be absolutely perfect for me you can adjust in 100
increments there we go yeah th000 looks
like looks like the Magic Bullet for me bunch of other stuff you can customize
including what all the buttons do as well as uh oh yeah you can see the side
views of the mice there you go top view side view performance uh yes
acceleration keep it off unless I don't know you're some kind of person who
likes acceleration not that I'm generalizing um lighting bright normal
oh you can change the brightness you can go for oh okay in Wireless mode you can
turn them down just to make sure that you don't drain your battery with the lights surface calibration turn that on
others ad mats liftoff range you can change that as well as power settings so
when does it enter sleep mode after idle Flash the battery indicator when the
battery Falls below 5 10 15 20 or 25%
gives you lots of good oh and macro programming so this is all done within
synapse and synapse will go ahead and
make sure that everything is you know taken care of for you so what do I think
feels all right I mean I for me it's
mice never come down to spec they come down
to how responsive does it feel does it
feel right
um yeah you know other than not knowing where to put my ring finger I think
we're I think we're in good shape with or or oroboros however one thing that I
did get tricked by and as a seasoned unboxer I mean I even wear a shirt that
says a professional unboxer on it I'm feeling pretty ashamed of this but I
unboxed a wireless mouse without actually managing to find the wireless
base station which
is here so it's a weighted base station
it's got a rubber grip on the bottom so it's not going to go anywhere you can
put the plug into this bad boy just like
that and then you can drop the mouse on there for your charging purposes just
like that thank you for checking out my
