Razer’s latest keyboard and mouse are for productivity, not for gaming


What exactly happened? Razer, best known for producing some of the top peripherals for gamers and enthusiasts, shifted gears a bit with its latest offerings. The company has partnered with ergonomic office furniture maker Humanscale on a new line of productivity-enhanced floor-standing accessories, which for many is now their home.

The Razer Pro Click is designed to minimize the risks associated with long-term computing, such as carpal tunnel syndrome and tendonitis, by positioning the user’s wrist at a neutral angle of 30 degrees. ‘

Powered by Razer’s 5G optical sensor (16,000 DIP, 1000Hz polling frequency), the indicator also has eight programmable buttons, connect with more host than support for up to four devices, 50 million click durability and extended palm, thumb and pinky support for added comfort.

Battery life is valued at a maximum of 400 hours when connected via Bluetooth, or 200 hours via 2.4 GHz wireless.

The Razer Pro Type, meanwhile, is a mechanical keyboard that uses orange mechanical switches from Razer for a “quieter, yet tactile typing experience.” Razer also added a fingerprint-resistant, soft touch coating to each keycap, claiming it delivers a “luxurious, cushioned feel” to make typing more comfortable.

Like the mouse, the keyboard can be paired with up to four different devices via Bluetooth or 2.4GHz wireless.

The board packs white LED backlit keys for bright lighting, fully programmable keys with macro recording functionality and an estimated life of up to 80 million clicks.

Battery life will vary greatly depending on whether you use the background LED feature or not. With the LEDs on, you can expect about 12 hours of running time on a single charge. Turn them off and that figure jumps to 78 hours on 2.4GHz or 84 hours on Bluetooth.

Prices are set at $ 99.99 for the Razer Pro Click mouse and $ 139.99 for the Pro Type keyboard. Both are available from today in the Razer online store.
