Razer Pro Click Wireless Mouse Review

The Razer Pro Click proves that a great mouse shape transcends the specific needs of gamers and productivity-focused workers. Part of Razer’s first productivity peripherals line, the Pro Click tweaks Razer’s Basilisk shooter mouse design, stripping out the RGB lighting and giving it a more office-friendly look and some additional wireless features, like Bluetooth support and the ability to sync with multiple devices so you can easily hop from one to another. Meanwhile, it also retains some of the useful features Razer’s cultivated in its gaming mice. The Click Pro has everything a digital worker needs to get things done comfortably and efficiently.

The Gaming Mouse Gets a Job

The Razer Pro Click is a right-handed, eight-button mouse. Measuring 5.06 by 3.13 by 1.88 inches (LWH) and weighing 3.67 ounces, the mouse looks bigger than it really is. In particular, the thumb support “wing” on the left side adds a lot of width, but doesn’t make the mouse unwieldy.

That’s important, since the best and most important element of the Pro Click is its comfortable shape. The mouse’s base slopes up to a high hump under your right thumb, which, along with various curves along the top and sides, guide your hand into a comfortable position. The thumb wing provides you a way to rest your thumb without gripping the side, reducing strain on your hand. Razer consulted with ergonomic design consultant Humanscale on how to make the design better for your hand, and though the differences between it and the Basilisk gaming mice are small, your hand rests on the Pro Click at a slightly more comfortable angle.

You’d expect the difference between making an office mouse and a gaming mouse would be large and extremely technical, but the reality is aesthetics and price are really the only big differentiators. To make the Pro Click appealing to workers, rather than gamers, the Pro Click has softer edges all around, especially near the ends of the click panels. Its matte white shell, with grey accents and rubberized side grips, gives it a soft sleekness that looks professional without feeling clunky.

The mouse has six inputs on top: Left click, right click, and a cursor speed or DPI preset cycle button in the center, just below the scroll wheel. The scroll wheel is especially nice. Not only is it metal with a nicely textured scrolling surface, but it has three inputs: The usual click, plus the ability to tilt the wheel left and right. By default, tilting left scrolls up and tilting right scrolls down, but all of the inputs are fully customizable, and having two extra easy-to-reach buttons is a welcome invitation to customize your mouse for specific tasks. On the side, you have two smallish back and forward buttons.

You’ll also find some logistical inputs on the mouse’s underside. If you flip it over, you’ll find a toggle to switch between Bluetooth and 2.4 GHz wireless, a Bluetooth pairing button, and a small removable panel, revealing a place to store the mouse’s USB wireless receiver. Surprisingly, built-in dongle storage isn’t a given even though it’s extremely convenient.

Under the hood, the Pro Click has the heart of a gaming mouse. Its optical sensor, the Razer 5G Advanced, can track accurately at up to 16,000 dots per inch (DPI). That translates to a faster cursor speed than any reasonable person would ever use for most tasks, even with multiple 4K monitors.

As a wireless mouse, the Pro Click delivers top of the line functionality for a productivity device. Both its Bluetooth and 2.4 GHz wireless connections work smoothly. Razer’s added multi-device syncing, so you can connect up to three devices over Bluetooth and a fourth via the USB receiver. This lets you quickly switch between using your mouse on your desktop, laptop, phone, or any other device with Bluetooth mouse support. It’s a time-saving feature for workers who regularly switch between a home machine to a work laptop during the day. Consider the Pro Click a terrific tool for working from home.

The Pro Click also gets great battery life. According to Razer, its internal battery should last up to 400 hours on a single charge when connected via Bluetooth, and 200 hours when connected via 2.4 GHz. (Getting rid of all that RGB lighting has its benefits). After fully charging it, I did not need to recharge it after more than a week of testing, switching between the two. When you need to top off, you can use its micro USB charging cable to create a wired connection while you power up. 

One extremely minor gripe: I’m not sure why Razer decided to add a Micro USB to the Pro Click mouse and USB Type-C port to its matching mechanical keyboard, the Pro Type. Considering the two are a de facto pair, it would be nice to be able to charge them both with a single cable.

Synapse’s Clicking

The Pro Click, like all of Razer’s peripherals, supports Razer’s configuration program, Synapse, for customization. Using Synapse, you can remap the Pro Click’s eight buttons, create macros, and save app-specific profiles with different configurations. You can also customize the mouses five DPI settings, which you can cycle through using the center button. Synapse is generally one of the best config programs out there, and that’s doubly true for productivity. It’s clean, intuitive, and easy to read.

The Pros Click Here

Let’s not beat around the bush, here. The Razer Pro Click is a serious mouse. It’s $99.99, which puts it up there with top-tier productivity mice like Logitech’s MX Master 3. That said, I think its strong ergonomic shape and expansive customization options and amazing battery life make it a strong choice, even at that price point. If you’re willing to spend the money, it is an incredibly comfortable, full-featured mouse that empowers you to do much more than most other options out there. Buying the Pro Click is absolutely a power move, but it’s one worth making. As a result, the Razer Pro Click is a PCMag Editors’ Choice for ergonomic mice.
