Razer Pro Click

Razer goes to work with the Razer Pro Click

-

The Razer Pro Click has been designed in partnershi­p with Humanscale, one of the world’s top manufactur­ers of ergonomic peripheral­s for the workplace. The result is one of the most comfortabl­e mice Razer’s probably ever put out.

Engineered to keep the user’s wrist at an optimum angle of 30 degrees, the palm rest curves under your hand in a way that keeps you from anchoring your wrist to the desktop surface and forces you to use muscles in your arm and shoulder which are bigger and less-inclined to tire after a full day’s use.

The look of the mouse is one of its most exciting features. It’s a mouse meant for an office, so it eschews the garish RGB colour lighting and jet black design that is typical of the gaming mice that Razer is best known for.

Instead, it uses a rather dull creme colored top side with textured grips along the thumb side and the pinky side to help give the greatest degree of control possible. The mouse wheel is also made of a textured metalalloy that both looks and feels amazing to use.

The one major downside to the Razer Pro Click is the charging port on the front of the mouse. It’s a micro USB connection, rather than the USB Type-C which we would have preferred.

With a DPI of 16,000 and tracking accuracy of 99.4%, the Razer 5G Optical Sensor in the Pro Click makes it one of the most responsive office mice on the market. The mechanical switches beneath the left and right mouse buttons are rated for 50 million clicks, and the mouse’s battery is rated for 400 hours of use on a single charge.

There are two programmab­le buttons on the thumb side of the mouse should you be so inclined to use them, with eight programmab­le buttons for the mouse overall. There is a switch on the underside to activate wireless or Bluetooth connectivi­ty, both of which work very well.

The USB wireless dongle is stored under a plastic cover on the underside of the mouse, so it isn’t the easiest thing to lose. There’s room on the mouse for four different Bluetooth profiles, making it pretty easy to switch the mouse over to another device with the push of a button.

The design of the Razer Pro Click is certainly eye-catching despite its neutral colour palette. It might look rather minimalist, but don’t be fooled, it’s packed with some excellent hardware for high-level performanc­e.

The Razer Pro Click is a phenomenal wireless mouse with an elegant design and precisely engineered ergonomics so that you barely notice you’re using a mouse at all. The lack of a USB Type-C port is really the only knock against it, but with everything else it has going for it, we’re more than willing to deal with the somewhataw­kward charging port that you don’t need to use very often.
