Our Verdict

Keychron M5

Razer Pro Click V2 Vertical

The Razer Pro Click V2 Vertical and the Keychron M5 are wireless vertical mice designed for gaming and productivity. Shape-wise, the Razer is more vertical at a ~72° angle, while the Keychron is at a ~47° angle. The Razer is also bigger and heavier, and it uses more premium materials with better build quality, although both mice are comfortable for a range of hand sizes. The Keychron is slightly better for gaming overall, thanks to its better click latency, sensor latency, 8000Hz polling rate, and smoother gliding mouse feet.
