Razer is relaunching its very first gaming mouse, the Boomslang, as a limited 20th Anniversary Edition. But this nostalgic throwback comes with a striking twist: only 1,337 units will be produced worldwide, and each will retail for $1,337 USD.
Originally released in 1999, the Boomslang became a cult classic among early PC gamers thanks to its then-groundbreaking precision and distinctive translucent shell. At a time when most mice were basic peripherals, the Boomslang was marketed as a serious competitive tool. Its high DPI sensor and bold design helped define the emerging gaming hardware market long before esports became mainstream.
The new Razer Boomslang 20th Anniversary Edition keeps the iconic ambidextrous shape and retro-futurist aesthetic but upgrades everything under the hood. It features Razer’s Focus Pro 45K Optical Sensor Gen-2, HyperPolling Wireless support, and Gen-4 Optical Mouse Switches. These are the same kinds of components found in the brand’s modern flagship devices, bringing tournament-grade performance to a nostalgic chassis.
The design also gets premium flourishes. The anniversary model includes PU leather button accents and a nine-zone Razer Chroma RGB underglow system. A Wireless Charging Dock Pro is bundled in the package, reinforcing its positioning as both a functional high-performance device and a collector’s showpiece.
The number 1,337 is not random. It is a deliberate nod to “leet” culture, a reference deeply rooted in early internet and gaming communities. Each mouse will be individually numbered, adding to its exclusivity and appeal for longtime fans who remember the original Boomslang era.
At $1,337, the mouse is priced far above standard gaming peripherals, even premium wireless models. Razer appears to be targeting collectors, brand loyalists, and enthusiasts who value the symbolic significance as much as the hardware itself. It sits somewhere between archival reissue and luxury tech statement piece.
To manage global demand, Razer has scheduled three preorder windows: February 10 at 8AM PT for the Americas, February 11 at 8AM SGT for Asia, and February 11 at 8AM CET for Europe.
Whether seen as a bold tribute or an extravagant indulgence, the relaunch underscores how far gaming hardware has evolved. A device that once defined competitive precision is now being celebrated as a piece of gaming history, reimagined with cutting-edge internals and a price tag designed to match its legend.
