Razer Unveils Upcoming Boomslang 20th Anniversary Edition Gaming Mouse, Limited to 1,337 Units

Razer, the leading global lifestyle brand for gamers, today announced its modern take on a gaming legend: the Razer Boomslang 20th Anniversary Edition. Launched as the world's first gaming mouse, the Razer Boomslang did not just change the game - it defined a new era of play. Its distinctive snake-head silhouette became an icon of early gaming. Groundbreaking features such as 2,000 DPI mechanical ball tracking and on-the-fly sensitivity adjustment delivered precision unheard of at the time, setting a new benchmark when competitive PC gaming was still finding its footing.

20 YEARS IN THE MAKING. A LEGACY REBORN.
Two decades later, that promise lives on. The Boomslang returns in its 20th Anniversary Edition - reborn with cutting-edge technology for today's gaming era, while honoring the design and spirit that started it all. "When we designed the Razer Boomslang, we just wanted to get the unfair advantage in gaming, and that single spark helped ignite the entire multi-billion dollar gaming peripherals industry that we know today," said Min-Liang Tan, Co-Founder and CEO of Razer. "The Boomslang 20th Anniversary Edition is more than a mouse. It's a tribute to the community who made this possible and a reaffirmation of our motto that continues to guide everything we do: For Gamers. By Gamers."
UNMATCHED PERFORMANCE. TIMELESS DESIGN. ENDLESS CUSTOMIZATION.
The Boomslang 20th Anniversary Edition combines heritage design with next-gen engineering to deliver uncompromising performance for today's competitive gamers:
  • Razer Focus Pro 45K Optical Sensor Gen-2
    • Up to 45,000 DPI with 99.8% resolution accuracy, delivering precision that far surpasses the original 2,000 DPI - a leap that defines two decades of progress.
  • Razer HyperPolling Wireless Technology
    • True 8,000 Hz wireless polling rate ensures near-instant responsiveness, setting a new benchmark for speed in competitive play.
  • Razer Optical Mouse Switches Gen-4
    • Crisp, lightning-fast actuation with a 100-million-click lifespan for enduring reliability.
  • Next-Gen Wireless Charging
    • The included Mouse Dock Pro marks a leap from the wired-only days of the original Boomslang to fully wireless charging. Engineered as a perfect companion to the mouse, it carries the same striking translucent design to deliver a unified aesthetic.
  • True Ambidextrous Form with PU Leather Buttons
    • The legendary Boomslang silhouette, now enhanced with PU leather-wrapped primary buttons for an exquisite feel and enhanced grip control. Classic ergonomics meet modern refinements, delivering comfort and control for every playstyle.
  • 9-Zone Razer Chroma RGB Lighting with Underglow
    • The Boomslang's original translucent glow gets a next-level upgrade with vibrant, customizable RGB underglow. Customize each zone with 16.8 million colors and dynamic effects that sync with over 300 Chroma-integrated games.
  • 8 Programmable Controls
    • Complete customization through Razer Synapse, enabling advanced macros and personalized profiles for total control in every scenario.
LIMITED TO 1,337 UNITS: OWN A COLLECTOR'S EDITION LIKE NO OTHER.
Only 1,337 uniquely serialized units of this limited-edition gaming mouse will be available worldwide, reserved exclusively for collectors who demand a piece of gaming heritage.

Fans are encouraged to revisit their original Boomslang stories and prepare to share them in upcoming Razer community events for a chance to win exclusive commemorative pieces - including a special #1337 unit (a homage to 'leet', symbolizing elite status in gaming culture) autographed by Razer CEO Min-Liang Tan.

As gaming continues to evolve, the Boomslang 20th Anniversary Edition stands as a reminder of where it all began - and a bold signal of where Razer is headed next.

More information, including pricing and availability, will be revealed soon.

Elon Musk didn't patent 1337 engine yet? Strange coincidence.

Cute, but the Boomslang was, in retrospective, a terrible shape, so I am not sure about that one. The PU leather will also quickly become ugly and stained and it is far harder to clean than just matte plastic.

You got it the other way round, Razer designed and made it. It was BFG that rebadged it.

BFG a name I haven't seen in a long long time. I used to own a BFG GeForce 4 Ti 4200 ages ago.

Let's be real, you buy this as a "collector's piece" and use it for a week before putting it on a shelf.

Yes this is true, I had to google this and yeah it was designed under Karna LLC/Razer, but Karna LLC bankrupted. The original Boomslang was created in 1999. There was a collector's edition version of this mouse in 2007.

HardOCP and Anandtech are the GOATs.

I remember that version from the mid 2000s, it came in a really nice tin can packaging too.

Yes, the mouse is older than 20 years. I do believe its based on the time Razer Inc started in 2005 and not the actual date of the mouse.
