Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Pro Click Mobile Bluetooth Wireless Notebook Mouse for Mac/PC--Nice WhiteCustomer Review: when the Mac touchpad went kaput, Razer to the rescue Summary: 4 Stars
I was SO frustrated.....the touchpad of my Macbook had become sticky to the extent that it became absolutely impossible for me to use it at all, and so I began looking online for an external wireless mouse that would let me not have to deal with touchpad issues. The Razer Pro Click Mobile Bluetooth Wireless Notebook Mouse was the perfect answer - and with the sale price, and white colour that matches my Macbook, I couldn't have asked for it any there's always room for improvement, right?! As a previous reviewer noted (so I should've known better), the white surface has started picking up some finger stains which aren't all that easy to remove.
The other strange hiccup was that although there is a great inbuilt battery saving mechanism, whereby the mouse powers off automatically after a period of inactivity, and turns back on the moment you move it, on occasion (I haven't yet figured out why exactly this happens, and it doesn't happen every time), although the computer recognizes the mouse, strangely the left-click or right-click buttons do not work. It's peculiar, but clicking the scroll wheel manages to select a few commands, and so between that and the keypad, I manage to shut down my computer and restart it, which is what is needed, for the mouse to be recognized again and work normally. As I said, this doesn't happen every time the mouse connection is lost, so it's quite random, and it would be fine if I could navigate using my touchpad in the interim, but as noted above, my Macbok touchpad is shot. :-( (I need a new Macbook - but need to wait for a few months for that). I generally try not to let the mouse lose connection when I'm working, by nudging it every once in a while , but I suspect this odd condition might have some effect on the battery life.
But other than those two minor issues, the mouse is GREAT!! Since it functions with bluetooth, it doesn't block one of the USB ports as some mice do, and that's a huge plus. The set-up with the Macbook is easy-peasy and the mouse is very responsive. I had never heard of Razer since I am not a gamer and apparently that's their specialty - making gaming mice, but it also means that they've obviously got their technology sorted out, even for a low-end mouse like this. It comes with a little protective pouch that is great if one needs to travel. The batteries add a bit of weight to the otherwise light mouse, which is actually just right for use. It's a small mouse, and so perfect for my small hands.
All in all, it's been the right answer for my Macbook, and I would have no hesitation in recommending it.
