At the beginning you said the keyboard is 'a unique piece' geared for a specific type of audience.
I am failing to see what is so unique about this piece. It just looks like a wireless fullsize board, I really don't see this being used in an office environment, sure it doesn't have clicky switches but that it still too loud for office use especially that horrendous space bar.
I agree with your conclusion that the keyboard is too overpriced for what it offers and I personally don't think this was a good attempt into getting into the productivity/office work keyboard space as the competition vs just other prebuilts gives you no reason to consider the Razer board

Replacable batteries are great, because you can just get rechargable. Bonus points if your mouse has a USB port to charge those batteries, or bypass non-rechargeable batteries with a switch for DC only use

[Aeysir]

05:05 Oh dear god! You bring that to the office, you better be bringing me a pair of headphones.

[coffeyvov]

I would 100% rather buy a varmilo keyboard or a keychron than that razer keyboard.

[krazypeople]

Wait, how does razer actually expect to compete with logitech? Every piece of logitech hardware that I have ever purchased still works, every piece of razer hardware i have ever purchased has broken. Hell i still use my force feedback logitech joystick thats just over 20 years old now... Meanwhile my razer mamba thats 3 months old is broken due to manufacturing defects.

those "Mushtile" mouse switches don't sound very satisfying. the keyboard is way too loud to go into the office with, and personally I'd rather have a tactile option at the very least for typing.

razer's got some iterating to do

For the "Razer" price, I can get 1 Akko 3098B which has numpad with smaller footprint, 5pin hotswap, 3 modes wire/wireless (2.4/BT/wired), good PBT caps, pre lubed stabs, foam mod, silicone backplate mod and RGB + some lube for Akko CS switch.
So no no for me.

Always love to see long term reviews for products

For the mouse - it's seems like it's better to just get Razer Orochi v2 unless you need the scroll wheel features

So, this is a little off topic, but for anyone looking at mice, I can comment on the bigger Pro Click. I bought it and used it for a little while. Overall impression is that it’s a good mouse that’s not for me. I bought primarily because it was white and had low latency. Both of these are true, it looks and performs well, even though it’s a “productivity” mouse, gaming felt good. In the end, though, I returned it. I simply cannot stand rubber grips on mice. It felt like it would be perfectly fine for anyone who doesn’t mind or likes rubber, but there’s something about it that drives me nuts.

Pretty much everything else was great. Synapse seems like bloated garbage, but it stores settings on mouse so you can just set it up and uninstall it. Mostly, anyway. See, I wanted the mouse wheel tilt function to do horizontal scrolling, and while it can do that, it ONLY works while synapse running is running in the background. This is ridiculous, it could totally be saved on mouse too, but they just decided that no, you can’t do that. And the mouse wheel itself would be another gripe with it. It was metal. The ONE PLACE on the whole mouse I would want rubber and it’s metal instead. It worked, but it always felt like my finger was slipping over it.

Final thing I didn’t like was the shape. The right side of the mouse is totally convex. Even with the rubber grips, it just felt off. Like I couldn’t hold it well. (Even though I never actually had a problem while playing, it just kinda felt like I did). Most of my gripes are totally preference, so if these things don’t bother you, it’s a great mouse. If the Mini here is following its steps, I’m confident it would be good too.

After returning that, I swapped it for a GPW superlight instead. And I’ll probably just keep that one for now. Honestly, it’s way too expensive. There’s no way this thing is worth $50 more than the Pro Click. Yeah, it lighter, but the Razer was light enough. And Logitech’s software is so stupid. I struggled looking everywhere just for a way to save the DPI settings I set to the mouse’s onboard storage and accidentally figured it out eventually. It’s terribly unintuitive. Not only that, there’s no button to switch DPI without software unless you sacrifice on of the back/forward buttons for a macro layer. The shape fits me personally better, although it’s a bit small for my hands, and I do wish it had maybe just a bit of tilt to it. It’s sorely lacking on features, but it’s not a mouse for features. The mouse wheel feels much better, I am much more confident I’m actually scrolling between weapon slots and such. The shape of the right hand side of the mouse feels much better too. And no rubber surfaces!

However, I think the normal GPW would be a better purchase actually. It’s got more button options, is still plenty light and is cheaper. I just picked this up because it was white, not full of holes, and was well reviewed. And i was sick of looking. But most people should not spend $150 on the superlight, it’s really not worth that.

After buying a white keyboard and white mouse and using them for a couple of months.
I can safely say, it doesn't matter how cool it looks in my setup,
something you touch everyday shouldn't be white :D

[uNriginal]

Looks like a G512 Carbon. Some might call it a ... carbon copy

[sunraiii]

Coming from the keyboard enthusiast corner, I have to admit that the case and key caps look sleek, but dear mother of Betelgeuse, that's the clankiest sounding board ever :D

Sounds like hitting a screwdriver against a 16 feet aluminium extension ladder

[joepark]

what wallpaper is that at the beginning of the video? it looks nice!

[GR-cdkx]

For a basic travel lightweight mouse that’s super quiet, check out the Logitech M330 silent. The sound profile sounds much better IMO but am curious to try the razer personally. I’ve using my M330 for a couple years and am happy with it. I was using wireless gaming mice previously but this is way better for business.

[assistantdogconsult]

Excellent, was really waiting for you to cover these fairly new products.

[thmahawk]

I love how they try and take on MX and productivity but still don't offer synapse 3 for mac

[yensteel]

I think replaceable batteries are quite useful, quite a lot of my rechargable devices have died and cannot be fixed (Mamba, voice recorder, ipad pencil)

Also, really wonder if it's possible to use a meter to measure battery life accurately by measuring amps/watts consumed after 1 hour gaming session. Definitely possible with replaceable batteries.

[TechTalkTobi]

no volume wheel ... :( ... and too loud for working

[JLMODELTEKKEN]

Just an fyi and I learned this the hard way today when my Pro Type Ultra arrived. The 2.4GHz dongle that comes with this new keyboard is NOT compatible with the Razer Pro Click. The 2.4GHz dongle apparently is only compatible with the newly released Pro Click Mini. This really sucks.
