Razer Pro Click V2 Vertical

Recently my Logitech MX vertical mouse has been intermittently playing up. The left mouse button would no longer consistently 'hold' when dragging a file. I have had this happen with other mice after a few years of use. It is probably due to the switch contacts wearing out. So, I started the search for a new Vertical mouse. I use Vertical mice as I find that I don't get aching wrists, as I get with a 'conventional' mouse, even after a full day of computing. I do not play computer games, just web browsing, emailing & office work. I usually stick with Logitech mice, but came across the Razer Pro Click V2 vertical mouse. As this mouse is designed for intense gaming, I assumed that it would use more 'heavy duty' switches etc. than the Logitech mice. Being a 'gaming' mouse, the Razer mouse uses a much more precise optical sensor than the Logitech MX. The Logitech MX Vertical mouse has a maximum DPI of 4000 dpi, where the Razer Pro Click V2 Vertical mouse has a maximum DPI of 30000 dpi. This results in a much smoother, accurate & jitter free experience, when navigating around the screen.

There are 2 apps available for the Razer mouse. One, the 'Razer Synapse' allows customisation of the mouse, with many adjustments aimed at gaming enthusiasts & the second 'Razer Chroma' allows for settings for the built in LED lighting ring around the base of the mouse. There are many settings for colours & effects. I have only had a quick play with these setting as they are aimed more at gaming, than general productivity work.

The Razer is a little taller & wider than the Logitech. Both mice fit my medium sized hand well. Both mice move freely & switches & scroll wheels work well on both. The Razer is usb-c rechargeable & is rated at up to 6 months of use between charges. It can also be used when the usb cable is plugged directly into the computer.

The Razer Pro Click V2 Vertical mouse is about $100 dearer than the Logitech MX Vertical mouse at the moment July 2025 (the Logitech is priced around $120, currently). Hopefully, the Razer mouse will last longer than the Logitech to justify the extra cost.

If you suffer from wrist pain, after long periods of using your mouse, I would recommend that you try a vertical mouse. Personally, I am happy to recommend either of these two mice, but feel that the Razer offers a better experience.
