Razer’s latest productivity peripherals blend ergonomic design with gaming-grade technology, introducing AI functionality and customisable RGB lighting to transform your workstation.
I’m currently using the most ergonomic mouse ever from Logitech, the Lift Vertical mouse – simply because I’m getting older and I have lots of issues with my wrist and arm in the past. Getting an ergonomic keyboard and mouse is a must and I’ve been wondering if someone would ever create a true, ergonomic gaming mouse.
Razer has clearly put considerable thought into the ergonomics of their new mice lineup. The Pro Click V2 Vertical Edition is the company’s first wireless vertical ergonomic mouse, featuring a natural 71.7° handshake grip that significantly reduces wrist strain during those marathon workdays. This angle seems to hit the sweet spot between comfort and usability.
The standard Pro Click V2 takes a more subtle approach with a 30° tilt that encourages neutral wrist positioning. What’s particularly impressive is the extended thumb rest and rubberised side grips that prevent slippage during intense sessions, whether you’re editing spreadsheets or dodging enemies in Overwatch 2.
Perhaps the most intriguing feature is the integrated Razer AI Prompt Master, which provides quick access to ChatGPT and Microsoft Copilot. Unlike other AI implementations that feel gimmicky, this one seems genuinely practical—allowing you to rephrase text or generate summaries with a simple button press without interrupting your workflow.
The Pro Click V2 also features Razer’s HyperScroll Technology with dual scrolling modes. The Free-Spin mode lets you breeze through long documents, while the Tactile Cycling mode provides the precision needed for gaming or detailed design work. I’ve found similar dual-mode scrolling invaluable when switching between different tasks throughout the day.
Under the hood, both mice pack Razer’s Focus Pro 30K Optical Sensor with 99.8% resolution accuracy. This level of precision isn’t just marketing speak—it translates to consistently smooth tracking even on glass surfaces, which is brilliant for those working in environments with various desk materials. Though I’m positive all gamers would have a mouse pad to play on.
The mechanical switches are rated for 60 million clicks—six times the industry standard—which means these mice should outlast most of your other peripherals. For context, my previous Razer Viper lasted years of heavy usage without any double-clicking issues that plague lesser mice.
While RGB lighting might seem unnecessary for a productivity mouse, Razer has implemented it thoughtfully with the multi-zone underglow lighting powered by Razer Chroma RGB. Beyond aesthetics, it provides functional benefits like reactive notifications for in-game events or important alerts. The lighting can sync with over 300 Chroma-integrated games including Marvel Rivals and World of Warcraft, creating an immersive ecosystem across your devices.
The Smart Dimming feature automatically conserves battery when needed—a practical touch that shows Razer understands the balance between flashy features and practical usability.
The five-way multi-device connectivity, including Razer’s HyperSpeed Wireless technology, allows you to connect to multiple devices simultaneously. This is particularly useful for those of us who work across different platforms throughout the day. I, for instance, use a work laptop and gaming desktop sitting on the same desk – so would be nice to be able to just use a single mouse for the two.
Battery life has always been a concern with wireless peripherals, but Razer seems to have addressed this with impressive efficiency—a five-minute charge provides up to 2-3 working days of use. This quick-charge capability is perfect for those moments when you’ve forgotten to plug in overnight but need to join an urgent meeting.
Razer Pro Click V2 Australia Pricing and Availability
At $199.95 AUD for the Vertical Edition and $189.95 AUD for the standard Pro Click V2, these mice sit firmly in the premium peripheral market. However, considering the dual-purpose nature, advanced technology, and ergonomic benefits, they offer solid value for those who need both productivity and gaming functionality in a single device.
For professionals who game or gamers who work, these new mice provide a compelling option that doesn’t compromise on either front. The ergonomic design paired with gaming precision makes them worth considering for anyone looking to upgrade their peripherals for better comfort and performance across all computer activities.
