Just over a year ago, Razer introduced its productivity line with the Razer Pro Click ergonomic mouse and the Razer Pro Type ergonomic keyboard. Razer is expanding that line today with the Razer Pro Click Mini ergonomic mouse, Razer Pro Type Ultra ergonomic keyboard, and the Razer Pro Glide XXL mouse pad.

While I personally loved the Razer Pro Click (I still use it for work to this day), I did have some issues with the Razer Pro Type. It will be interesting to see how the new Pro Click Mini and Pro Type Ultra fare in comparison.

“Today’s workspace can be anywhere – in the office building, at home on the dining table, on the train or in the air. Regardless of where the user is, Razer’s Pro range has workflow-enhancing features for every task and situation, from non-distracting silent click mouse switches through to all-day-comfort soft-touch keycaps, allowing users to work effectively wherever they are.”

The Pro Click Mini is similar to the Pro Click, but with a sleek, compact design for use on the go, and fits easily into bags, briefcases, and backpacks. Users can connect up to three different devices via Bluetooth, and a fourth with the included 2.4GHz USB dongle.

Razer Pro Type Ultra

As mentioned above, I had a few issues when testing and reviewing the Pro Type Ultra, mainly with the typing performance. The company has refined the keyboard through community feedback and the updated version brings “a quieter, more luxurious typing experience to the office space.” With silent mechanical switches, the keycaps feature a soft-touch coating and the keys are rated for up to 80 million key presses. Also included is a plush leatherette wrist rest for support and to ease wrist strain throughout the workday. Like the Pro Click Mini, the Pro Type Ultra can be connected to up to three Bluetooth and a fourth device with the USB dongle simultaneously.
