Razer - Boomslang

Razer boomslang 1999! It's still in its tin somewhere in my basement, I got it along with my first pc for Christmas. I also got some weird circular keyboard I could never find again.

i still have a boomslang 2000 that works. also the tin that it came in

I cried when my Boomslang died. It was the pre-Razer version from BFG with the Karna branding. I heard they are coming out with a 20th anniversary edition. I am holding out that it will be as good as the original.

I tried a demo of that boomslang at gencon 99 and it was mindblowing. Unheard of sensitivity.

Someone needs to remake the razer boomslang, i have the same issue of giant hands and it was the best shape for me.

A Logitech Wingman Gaming mouse but it didn't look like a gaming mouse, for that it would probably be my Razer Boomslang, was good while it lasted...about 4 months and the right mouse button stopped working. That was a common theme with Razer mice for me I stopped buying them after the Copperhead. But for the start of playing Quake I used a Logitech Trackman Marble thumb trackball for years, I used it and mice and I kept going back to it, finally stopped using it around 2002, started having trouble with my thumb. Favorite mice from back then are the Microsoft Intellimouse Optical 1.1 or 1.1a and the Steelseries Kana v2, but the Kana was not the best made mouse, but thankfully relatively cheap at the time around $30. I still have like 8 1.1/1.1a that work. I miss mice that had a side button on both sides, I fingertip grip so I could actually use both easily.

Razer Boomslang, the shape was hideous.

EDIT: It was the original Boomslang. Boomslang 2000. Still have it with the original box and round metal case.

Now that I think about it, it's the original Boomslang, not the 2000. I'd post a pic of I was able to.

Wow. You couldn't get me to buy one now if it had the best sensor. The side buttons were atrocious to use.

Razer has had quality issues from day 1. I bought the first Razer mouse, the Boomslang, in like 1999 and it didn't last a year.

oh yeah i LOVED the mouse, that and the logitech wingman were my first gaming mice, but the Razer just didnt last.

I used Razer from 1999 with the Boomslang up until the DA2013 which they had to replaced 7 times in 3 years. I will say kudos on them for replacing it so many times, but the fact that I had so many failures in so little time turned me off the company.

12 years? Nice! Logitechs only last a year or two. I still have my original Boomslang somewhere and its replacement. If I cleaned the ball the replacement would work just fine.

I love my Zowie EC1-CW. It's simple. There is a "better" sensor out, but I have dozens of mouses, and I dont know why for me it's got my favorite sensor. I think I lift the mouse up a little as I mouse around, and this one seems to track just right for my usage. It's got a good latency, it's plain and comfortable. You don't need drivers (it's got hardware buttons for everything on the bottom). The charging, wireless, and corded mode's all work good. I'm kind of a mouse collector and I literally have a box filled with mouses. I still have my first razer boomslang and diamondback (diamond back still one of my favorite mice of all time although I grew out of that grip style I use it from time to time).

Razer Boomslang back in 2000

The Razer Boomslang if you can find it. Huge and about the weight of a cinder block. Perfect for big meaty gorilla mitts.

Ohhh, the Boomslang was sooo cool :)
