The $100 mouse that forces you to aim all over again.

Excellent
POCG VERDICT
Expensive, awkward, and absolutely worth it once your hand gives in.
The Boomslang 2000 will humiliate you in Quake 3 for a week, but once you adapt to its demanding shape, you won't want to go back.
About This Hardware

The Razer Boomslang 2000 is a high-end gaming mouse from Kärna, designed specifically for first-person shooters. Priced at $99.99, it aims to justify its cost with a unique ergonomic shape, high precision, and driver features like on-the-fly sensitivity adjustment. The mouse uses a ball sensor and connects via USB or PS/2, with USB recommended for its 125Hz polling rate. Its large, elongated body forces a specific grip style, with the trackball positioned farther back. The build is sturdy, with a metal tin packaging, teflon feet, and a seven-foot cable. Drivers support macro programming, left/right handed configurations, and extensive customization, but have known conflicts with certain USB audio devices like the Microsoft DS80 speakers. Released in 2000, the Boomslang 2000 targets serious competitive gamers willing to endure a steep learning curve for superior control.

Known driver conflict with Microsoft Digital Sound System 80 USB speakers. Using the mouse in PS/2 mode is a workaround, but results in lower polling rates. Check Razerzone for updates.
