Razer Pro Click V2 Vertical Edition review

Clicked faster than expected

Published

September 19, 2025

Switching to a vertical mouse always sounded like a chore. New grip, new angle, new muscle memory. I expected it to slow me down for days. Instead, the adjustment felt smoother than I imagined.

Using the Razer Pro Click V2 Vertical Edition for the first time was strange at the start, yes, but the shift didn’t get in the way of my work. If anything, it pushed me into a faster, more comfortable flow.

Getting used to a new grip

I’ve never used a vertical mouse before, so I came in expecting a long learning curve. The first time I held the Pro Click V2 Vertical Edition, it felt awkward. The 71.7-degree handshake angle was unfamiliar, like my hand was floating in the wrong direction.

But the adjustment period was surprisingly short. By the second half of my day, I stopped reaching for the old horizontal grip out of habit. The vertical orientation simply felt right.

Razer’s base support under the wrist played a role in that comfort. I didn’t notice it at first, but I also never felt wrist pressure or friction against the desk. It didn’t make my hand feel especially relaxed, but it kept every movement strain-free. For something I use for hours daily, that subtle difference matters.

Comfort that shows in movement

What I didn’t expect was the sense of ease when navigating large displays. I tested the mouse paired with an ultrawide, and the combination felt almost perfect. I found myself zipping across the screen with more speed than usual.

Maybe it was the vertical grip, maybe the sensor tuning, maybe both — but the result was a smoother workflow.

If you’re someone who regularly hops between apps, windows, or timelines, the vertical form factor starts to feel like an efficiency tool more than an ergonomic alternative.

I didn’t get to test it on games due to my schedule, but for photo editing and general precision work, everything felt smooth and responsive. I probably could’ve optimized the DPI settings more, but even at default, the tracking stayed consistent.

I used it mostly on a wooden desk, which isn’t ideal. The mouse tracked well enough, though I immediately knew it would feel even better with a proper mouse pad.

A productivity-first device that still has flair

One of the things that surprised me was speed. I felt faster using this mouse than my usual setup. The six-button layout helped, though the side buttons near my thumb were sometimes too easy to press accidentally. That’s something to get used to, not a flaw in the hardware.

The Pro Click V2 Vertical Edition can pair with up to five devices, but I rarely use one mouse across multiple hosts. I did try switching to a Mac, and the orientation didn’t feel very intuitive on macOS — although I only gave it a few minutes, so that wasn’t a fair test. It’s something I want to revisit when I have more time.

There’s also the AI Prompt Master button built in, which gives direct access to services like ChatGPT and Copilot. In my case, I didn’t get to fully integrate it into my workflow.

Between adjusting to a new workstation and keeping up with deadlines, testing that feature deeply wasn’t in the cards. But for writers or anyone who lives on rephrasing, summarizing, or drafting text, it’s a feature worth exploring.

On the more visual side, the 18-zone underglow is… a treat. It doesn’t add anything to productivity, but it certainly makes the mouse look premium.

The lighting leans a little gamer-ish, but still feels appropriate for a clean, modern setup.

Battery life that borders on ridiculous

I charged the mouse to full once at the start of testing. Over the next two to three weeks, I never felt the need to plug it back in. That’s the kind of battery life you don’t notice because it never gets in the way.

Razer claims up to six months on a single charge, and based on how it drained for me, I don’t doubt it.

I didn’t try the five-minute quick charge feature, but knowing it’s there — and knowing it gives days of use — adds to the confidence that this mouse simply won’t die on you mid-work.

Is the Razer Pro Click V2 Vertical Edition your GadgetMatch?

The Razer Pro Click V2 Vertical Edition is a Swipe Right to anyone who spends long hours navigating apps, juggling files, or doing casual editing. The vertical grip takes some getting used to, especially if you’ve never tried one before, but the learning curve is shorter than it looks.

It’s the kind of hardware you forget about because it works, and when you do notice it, it’s usually because something feels smoother than usual.

I can’t imagine many people struggling to adjust to it. Even I switched comfortably within the first half of the day. The only area I want to fine-tune is how it fits into my macOS workflow, but that’s more about setup than compatibility.

Would I use a vertical mouse full-time after this? Yes. And this experience made me realize I’ve probably been overdue for the switch. The Pro Click V2 Vertical Edition didn’t just ease me into vertical mice. It made me feel like I should’ve tried one sooner.

Soundtrack for the city: HIDDEN.NY x AIAIAI TMA-2 headphones

Published

Living in a big city like New York makes you want to have music on a lot: on the subway, walking between meetings, sitting in a café with your laptop, zoning out on a long walk home, or romanticizing the smallest things. Headphones have become an essential part of my life.

That’s why the HIDDEN.NY x AIAIAI collaboration makes sense. The TMA-2 HIDDEN Edition headphones are reminiscent of early-2000s tech. It’s nostalgic but with New York City character, at least the kind that I encounter and not the one you see in movies.

If you follow either brand, the partnership feels natural. HIDDEN.NY started as an Instagram mood board and grew into a full lifestyle platform rooted in street culture and design. AIAIAI is a Danish company that’s long been part of music culture, known for modular gear that artists use.

The first thing you notice is the colorway. The transparent design with green highlights is subtle. It’s not loud but still stands out.

You can see the structure of the headphones, which makes them feel more like an accessory than just another piece of black plastic tech. Bonus points that they are a conversation starter, too.

In daily use, the headphones are easy to live with. They are light and comfortable, which is important when you’re wearing them for long stretches. They don’t clamp too hard nor do they feel bulky.

Sound-wise, they’re clean and balanced. While it doesn’t have active noise cancellation, it works well for all the ways people actually listen in a big city. I like that you don’t have to think about the sound much.

It’s just good in a way that doesn’t get in your way, whatever mood I’m in wherever I am in the city, these headphones are great company.

AIAIAI’s modular approach also means these aren’t built to be tossed when something wears out. The speaker, headband, earpads, and cable are all replaceable.

So much of the tech we use should grow with us, even if they get outdated. So AIAIAI builds systems that can be upgraded over time. That’s part of why artists and DJs use them.

Especially because it’s a collectible, it feels like a piece you’ll want to keep. As someone who uses his prized possessions for a really long time, I love this about these headphones.

In a city where everything moves fast and feels temporary, it’s nice to have gear that doesn’t feel disposable.

The campaign, shot by photographer Gunner Stahl, probably looks familiar if you’re attuned to hiphop culture. What sets his work apart is his portraits feel more raw and relaxed instead of posed and polished. It aligns with HIDDEN.NY’s aesthetic, the kind of everyday style that feels genuine.

At the end of the day, the HIDDEN.NY x AIAIAI TMA-2 Bluetooth headphones make sense for people who live in cities like New York, where music is part of how you move, work, and think.

They sound good, they look interesting and different. They fit into real life without trying too hard.

The TMA-2 Hidden Edition headphones retail for US$220 and is available on aiaiai.audio.

One of K-Pop’s most iconic soloists of all time has finally partnered up with the globally-renowned case maker.

And this isn’t like any other CASETiFY’s K-Pop Collab, this is much grander than that.

i-naugural Brand iCON

You heard that right! CASETiFY reveals their first ever Global Brand Ambassador.

Amassing 25 million Instagram followers, over 1.2 Billion YouTube views, and hitting almost 4 Million Spotify listeners, G-DRAGON has truly marked his footprint as the “King of K-Pop” — more than just being the iconic member of the global hit group BIGBANG.

His long overdue comeback (and world tour) with ‘Übermensch’ last 2025 further proves how massive the VIP (and FAM) community is.

That said, GD’s influence isn’t limited to the music industry alone. Art and fashion have also witnessed his legendary artistry through his PEACEMINUSONE label. That pretty daisy with a fallen petal is the brand’s most iconic emblem you can see around.

The introduction of his fashion line was connected to music as well. It was introduced way back in 2013 during his ‘COUP D’ETAT’ solo promotions which was a true hit. It was totally evident in the album art’s peace symbol minus that one line.

Wesley Ng, CASETiFY’s CEO and Co-Founder (who’s also fashion-savvy), said that “welcoming G-DRAGON as the brand’s first Global iCON is a powerful statement.” This will not only amplify the reach of the already-popular case maker, it will also influence the brand’s creative direction.

After all, one’s artistic expression can be seen easily with the cases we rock out and about.

i-conic CHROMATIC

In line with this milestone also lies a new collection of cases and accessories.

The all-new CHROMATIC Collection is built around two concepts: FORMS & HUES. First, the CHROMATIC: FORMS set is headlined by the premium-made Alloy Ripple Case with an upgraded aluminum material.

Speaking of aluminum, the accompanying accessories are all metallic — from the 2-in-1 cross-body chain to custom cube charms for bespoke personalization.

Meanwhile, the CHROMATIC: HUES adds five new vibrant shades to CASETiFY’s ever-popular Ripple Collection through the Neon Ripple Case. These bold range of colors not only embody users’ creativity and self-expression, it also showcases an individual’s overall aesthetics.
