Razer Pro Click Mini vs UtechSmart VENUS

Instead of the Pro Click's right-handed ergonomic design, the white-and-gray Mini has an ambidextrous shape (though to my eyes it's curved just a bit to favor righties). It doesn't break any new ground but it's easy to hold, with gently indented, rubberized sides and barely perceptible ridges on its left and right edges. The Razer name is lettered on top but the bag-of-snakes logo and RGB lighting of the firm's gaming mice are absent. 

It's a huge boost to my productivity. The mouse is similar in shape and feel to the G600. While it's quite a bit lighter, the grip and feel (which any MMO mouse will forever change the way you grip any mouse) didn't take me long at all to adjust, close to instant. There's the same "grip corner" for you to press your pinky finger against, your thumb sits between the first two sets of thumb buttons (1 thru 6), pointer and middle finger are resting on the left and right mouse buttons respective and it's comfortable to easily switch between clicking and scrolling, and there's also an indentation for your ring finger to rest on

The thing is one of the most comfortable mice I've ever had the pleasure of using. Same level of comfort as the MX Master 3. It doesn't have as many buttons as the MX Master 3, but it sure does feel just as good.

The Good: Good size that fits hand very comfortably with the nice textured finish Good quantity of buttons to program High precision with adjustable DPI to get mouse movements just right Multiple profiles for different tasks Better lighting options compared to prior versions profiles stored on mouse (limit 2) The Less Good: no additional weight compartment in wireless version (wired version has it) lighting options, while better, are still underwhelming lighting option when plugged in is not existent less pre-created macro/key options in software compared to earlier versions (can manually create for functionality, just lose the ease of it) The Bad nothing that would sway my purchase decision Summary: This is a great mouse for the price. It is very comfortable to use and ticks off all the quality items needed for a functional mouse for gaming or customization of buttons. The software is its greatest weakness, but not detrimental to the point where it has a functional impact (just the area they should focus more effort on). I back this up with this wireless mouse version being my third of this style/brand of mouse for my own use (2 wired, 1 wireless) plus my wife's use of both the wired and wireless version too

They nailed it all right. So this thing compared to the regular pro click. It's tiny not only that my usual sort of mouse that i use when i travel is ...

This mouse is quite pleasantly sized. I use a kind of a broad claw grip and prefer it when the butt of the mouse rests in the palm of my hand, which this does comfortably while still leaving my fingers well positioned on the buttons. It's also remarkably comfortable, almost as if it was designed with my hand specifically in mind. Obviously your mileage may vary on this one but the at rest position for the third (ring) finger on my hand is well placed, with just the right bit of additional contour to aid in gripping the mouse when lifting it

First off, a feature set of this mouse shows a major problem in the Pro Click (full size). This can share one single dongle with the Pro Type Ultra. Why in the world would you make Razer’s largest work keyboard only be able to be paired with the compact travel mouse? And why is that feature not backwards compatible with its predecessor (Razer tech themselves were unable to answer this)? I’d far prefer the predecessor for a number of reasons that will become apparent as this review goes on, but the updated features on this make the Mini the pick for me, despite the drawbacks. Secondly, and the cause of this 4 (previously 3) star review since Amazon asks about ergonomics straight away

I need a mouse that has convenient and easy to use buttons in numbers sufficient to assign a button to every available movement. This does not evenly remotely apply to the UTechSmart. The number of buttons is sufficient but the placement is not suited to fast and accurate use. The thumb button locations would require months of training to get all the button locations coded into muscle memory

My primary mouse is the Razer DeathAdder V2 X Hyperspeed, which has dedicated buttons right on the mouse for adjusting the DPI. I of course always prefer having the adjustments on the mouse but in this case it’s “good enough”. This mouse is actually acceptable to me with its default DPI setting. I found that the side buttons worked as forward and back buttons on the Windows computer using the Edge browser, but didn’t seem to do anything at all on the Mac computer using Safari

I also hate that razor synapse runs all the time and requires internet, and I also hate snakes which is the entire theme of their mice for some reason. I ain't want no got dang snakes on my plane! Soo why in the world does the venus mmo mouse product information say you can reprogram the dpi buttons? Translation issues maybe? Dunno, I just know that this is not only misleading but also disappointing. And Why does this matter to me enough to drone on about it? well.

- the weight of the batteries basically eliminates this as a gaming mouse. This is going to boil down to how you use the mouse. If you only use it with a Windows / Linux machine, the Mamba is a better option. You don't have to worry about your battery dying

The weight tuning is pretty straight forward. You flip the mouse over, turn the little compartment, and then pop the tray out. I have to say, I'm a heavy mouse guy, but I still thought that having all the weights in was a little too much. On the other hand, removing all the weights made the mouse very, very light

Razer Pro Click Mini Portable Wireless Mouse: Silent, Tactile, Mouse Clicks - Sleek & Compact Design - HyperScroll Technology - Productivity Dongle - Connect up to 4 Devices - 7 Programmable Buttons Not for gaming. This mouse does everything I want for a productivity mouse. It's portable and well made. The 2 batteries are great, but the weight is just too much

The buttons themselves are alright, they'll definitely do the job. The scroll wheel is good, though I wish it tilted like my G600 too. But as that's a hardware thing, I can accept that tradeoff for wireless connectivity. Clicks are not offensively loud like some mice, which I'm definitely grateful for as I'll be using this while traveling

Battery life has been good thus far. If I had to pick between the Anywhere and the Pro Click Mini, I think I'd pick the Pro Click Mini, because I can swap out the batteries with my own rechargeables whenever I run low, rather than having to wait for the internal battery in the Logitech to finish charging. But really, they're both great mice and I'll be keeping an eye out on Razer's next iteration to see what improvements they make.

There is the option to turn on the mouse without RGB lights to save battery power. - There is the option to go wireless! I cannot confirm how long the battery life is, but from other reviewers it seems like about 3 days of heavy use. - Length of the cord is decently long but is about a full mouse length shorter than the G600. - Comes with a nice bag for travel purposes - Weight is good, similar to G600

The scroll wheel can be smooth scrolling or clicky. It's easy to switch between the two modes with the switch under the wheel. The mouse connected to my desktop computer via Bluetooth quickly and seamlessly. It maintains the connection without any issues

There is an additional button for your pointer finger located at the tip of the left flick as well as the DPI shift buttons placed behind the scroll w...
