Razer Revives a Classic: The Boomslang 20th Anniversary Edition
Last year,Razer revealed its intention to bring back the first-ever gaming mouse,and now that vision is coming to life. The company has launched pre-orders for the Boomslang 20th Anniversary Edition, a special limited edition celebrating one of the most meaningful peripherals in PC gaming history.
The original Boomslang made its debut in 1999 when Razer was still part of kärna LLC. At that time,dedicated gaming accessories were just starting to emerge as a category. The Boomslang quickly gained attention due to its unique design and high-precision sensor. This anniversary edition retains the classic aesthetic while updating its technology for modern gamers.
Modern Features Meet Nostalgic Design
The updated version of the Boomslang features Razer's second-generation focus Pro optical sensor with an impressive sensitivity of up to 45,000 DPI. it boasts an ultra-fast polling rate of up to 8,000Hz and incorporates Razer’s fourth-generation optical switches rated for an astounding lifespan of up to 100 million clicks. With eight programmable buttons and a design that accommodates both right-handed and left-handed users, this mouse is built for versatility.
A Collector's Item with a Price Tag
While it appears impressive on paper, the Boomslang’s appeal leans more towards collectors than everyday gamers. Only 1,337 units will be produced worldwide—an homage reflected in both its limited availability and steep price tag of $1,337.
What Comes with your $1,337 Investment?
If you’re willing to spend that much money on this iconic piece of tech history, you’ll receive not just the mouse but also several extras: a Razer Mouse Dock Pro for charging or display purposes; a braided cable; a carrying case; plus an LED display frame showcasing all components arranged neatly in grid form. pre-orders opened yesterday on Razer’s website and sold out almost immediately despite their high cost—if you were hoping to snag one yourself at launch price,you'll need another plan!
