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.

My original Razer Boomslang still works. Not perfectly, the left mouse button has definitely seen better days, but it still functions. And I beat hell out of it playing Diablo 2 when they both came out.

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.

I mean I was excited to see the boomslang come back, but then saw it was a ridiculously limited release and just resigned myself to the feeling I’d never get one again. I have the old one still, but it’s got the ball and all the dust issues that come with it.
