Celebrating the legacy of the world’s first gaming mouse in a one-time release, limited to 1,337 serialized units, marking Razer’s 20-year journey of innovation. Crafted for collectors and built for gamers.

IRVINE, CALIF. - DECEMBER 10, 2025 - 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.

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 honouring 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."

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. Customise each zone with 16.8 million colours and dynamic effects that sync with over 300 Chroma-integrated games.
  • 8 Programmable Controls
    Complete customisation through Razer Synapse, enabling advanced macros and personalised profiles for total control in every scenario.
