  We give a brief review of the current constraints and prospects for detection
of higgsino dark matter in low-scale supersymmetry. In the first part we argue,
after performing a survey of all potential dark matter particles in the MSSM,
that the (nearly) pure higgsino is the only candidate emerging virtually
unscathed from the wealth of observational data of recent years. In doing so by
virtue of its gauge quantum numbers and electroweak symmetry breaking only, it
maintains at the same time a relatively high degree of model-independence. In
the second part we properly review the prospects for detection of a
higgsino-like neutralino in direct underground dark matter searches, collider
searches, and indirect astrophysical signals. We provide estimates for the
typical scale of the superpartners and fine tuning in the context of
traditional scenarios where the breaking of supersymmetry is mediated at about
the scale of Grand Unification and where strong expectations for a timely
detection of higgsinos in underground detectors are closely related to the
measured 125 GeV mass of the Higgs boson at the LHC.
