New productivity get-ups by Razer

For many, Razer is synonymous with gaming accessories: keyboards and mice in black gear festooned with multicolor LEDs. Less well known is the maker’s range of accessories that are just as powerful, but with a much more sober design -- the kind that could pass in an accounting office. These accessories for more “serious” uses look distinguished in an elegant livery of light gray and white with pale backlighting.

Razer unveiled three new products in this lineup, namely the Pro Type Ultra Wireless Keyboard (priced at CA$ 200), Pro Click Mini Wireless Mouse (CA$ 100), and Pro Glide XXL Large Mat (CA$ 35). As the name suggests, the Pro Click Mini is a more compact version of the Pro Click wireless mouse and offers 15 months of battery life using two AA batteries. The Pro Type Ultra white-backlit keyboard can be used wired or wireless and comes with a leatherette wrist rest. Razer says the keyboard is very quiet, which is a plus in the office. Finally, the Pro Glide XXL, a 94 cm / 37-inch-wide mouse mat, can accommodate a mouse and keyboard simultaneously.
