The Razer Boomslang, once the world’s first gaming mouse, is officially back sort of. Razer is celebrating its 20th anniversary with a limited-edition Boomslang 20th Anniversary Edition, reviving the design that started it all in 1999. But this nostalgic nod comes with a modern twist and a catch: only a few lucky gamers will get their hands on it.
Boomslang 20th Anniversary Edition stays true to its roots
Back in the late ’90s, the Boomslang was a bold step forward. While modern mice chase sleek lines and ergonomic comfort, the original Boomslang favored a distinctive snake-head shape, leather buttons, and transparent plastic housing a look that was undeniably ahead of its time.
Razer isn’t ditching that DNA. The 20th Anniversary Edition keeps the semi-transparent body, leather-coated left and right clicks, and that unmistakable profile. It’s not trying to reinvent the classic it’s honoring it.
Classic look, cutting-edge internals
Under the hood, though, this mouse is no museum piece. Razer has outfitted the Boomslang with:
- Gen 4 Optical Switches for faster, more reliable clicks
- Focus Pro 45K Optical Sensor for elite-level precision
- Wireless charging via the included Razer Mouse Dock Pro
- Chroma RGB lighting for full customization
- Eight programmable buttons for advanced control setups
- HyperPolling support up to 8,000 Hz, for serious competitive responsiveness
So while it may look like a time capsule, the Boomslang is tuned for today’s ultra-responsive gaming needs.
Limited availability keeps it exclusive
If this sounds like something you’d want on your desk or on your shelf there’s one catch: Razer hasn’t confirmed wide availability. The Boomslang 20th Anniversary Edition is expected to be extremely limited, with no public sale confirmed yet. Whether it’s a giveaway, collector’s drop, or exclusive bundle, fans will need to stay sharp to secure one.
Nostalgia meets performance in true Razer style
This isn’t just a re-release it’s a celebration of Razer’s beginnings and a tribute to the mouse that helped define modern PC gaming. With the Boomslang 20th Anniversary Edition, Razer proves that some legends never die they just respawn with better specs.
