Boomslang

Razer has officially unveiled the Razer Boomslang 20th Anniversary Edition, a striking reimagining of the world’s first gaming mouse. The limited-edition release, capped at 1,337 serialized units, honors Razer’s 20 years of pushing the boundaries of competitive gaming hardware.

Launching globally last December 10, the Boomslang 20th Anniversary Edition brings one of the most iconic silhouettes in PC gaming history into the modern era—complete with today’s most advanced sensor technology, lightning-fast wireless performance, and premium collector-grade craftsmanship.


A Tribute to the Mouse That Redefined PC Gaming

Originally launched in the late 1990s, the Razer Boomslang became legendary for its unprecedented 2,000 DPI mechanical ball tracking, ergonomic snake-head shape, and early innovations like on-the-fly sensitivity adjustments. It was the start of a revolution—one that helped shape the entire gaming peripherals industry.

Today, Razer honors that legacy with a completely reengineered version built for modern competitive play.

Razer Co-Founder and CEO Min-Liang Tan reflects on the Boomslang’s cultural impact:
“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.”

He adds:
“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: For Gamers. By Gamers.”
