Razer is returning to its roots and relaunching the world\u2019s first gaming mouse that debuted over 25 years ago<\/a> before there was even a gaming peripheral industry. The original K\u00e4rna Razer Boomslang<\/a> was best known for its encoding wheel that could more accurately track a mouse\u2019s movements at 2,000 DPI. The new Razer Boomslang 20th Anniversary Edition<\/a> carries forward the original\u2019s symmetrical ambidextrous design but upgrades its rolling ball with a 45,000 DPI optical sensor and other modern conveniences.<\/p>\n

The new Boomslang<\/a> is being released to celebrate the 20th anniversary of Razer being founded as a company \u2014 not just a brand \u2014 and while pricing and availability haven\u2019t been announced yet, the mouse will be limited to just 1,337 units. This time around the Boomslang is completely wireless with an 8,000Hz polling rate for \u201cnear-instant responsiveness,\u201d says Razer. It\u2019s also rechargeable using an included dock featuring a matching translucent plastic shell.<\/p>\n

The primary mouse buttons are now wrapped in synthetic leather for improved grip and use Razer\u2019s Gen-4Crisp switches underneath that have a lifespan of 100 million clicks. The new Boomslang has eight buttons in total that can be reprogrammed using the Razer Synapse software, and as with most of the company\u2019s products, the mouse also features 9-zone RGB lighting on the underside that can be customized or synced to over 300 different games.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Razer is returning to its roots and relaunching the world\u2019s first gaming mouse that debuted over 25 years…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":184952,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[203,213,61,60,43,4411,2048,216,80],"class_list":["post-184951","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-technology","tag-gadgets","tag-gaming","tag-ie","tag-ireland","tag-news","tag-pc-gaming","tag-razer","tag-tech","tag-technology"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/184951","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=184951"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/184951\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/184952"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=184951"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=184951"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=184951"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
