Razer Pro Solutions, best known for gaming mice such as the DeathAdder, has added a new wireless portable mouse to its lineup, the ProClick Mobile. The ProClick Mobile takes Razer's excellent high-precision 1,200 dpi optical resolution technology, and packages it into a smaller wireless body. The ProClick Mobile is available in four colors--while I'd call them black, white, pink, and red, Razer's marketing department has named them Naughty, Nice, Sugar, and Spice.

The top portion of the mouse features two comfortable buttons on a smooth matte plastic shell, while the sides are shiny plastic that's the same color as the top. The mouse is designed for use in either the left or right hand--each side of the mouse is a mirror image of the other. Between the two buttons is a large scroll wheel made of a softer, nearly clear plastic. The scroll wheel has detents that provide tactile feedback, but that aren't so deep as to prevent smooth and easy scrolling. They're also nearly silent, which I prefer over loud, clicky detents.

There's also a glowing LED version of the Razer triple-headed snake logo on the top of the mouse. When the mouse is not in use, the emblem glows and dims, indicating that it is in a power-saving standby mode. You can, however, disable this glowing feature if you'd rather not see a pulsating three-headed snake icon.

The ProClick Mobile comes in a white and pink box--yes, even if you choose the black mouse, you'll get a box with shocking pink side panels. In addition to the mouse, you'll find two Duracell AA batteries, a user's guide, and a relatively nice felt-like carrying case inside the box. The case is hidden in the box, as it's located underneath the styrofoam insert that holds the mouse; if you're not careful, you could recycle the case without realizing it.

Unlike some other portable mice, the ProClick Mobile doesn't include rechargeable batteries and a docking station in which the mouse can rest and recharge when not in use. As I don't like using up lots of batteries on a wireless mouse, I swapped the Duracells for a pair of rechargeable AA batteries. Batteries are easily inserted by popping off the bottom portion of the mouse's cover. With the rechargeable batteries, I was able to use the mouse with my Mac Pro full-time for more than two weeks without requiring a recharge.
