"The Razer Boomslang 20th Anniversary Edition gaming mouse costs over one thousand dollars. $1,337, to be specific. It's not made of gold. It doesn't even have real leather on the leather-wrapped components. It's a plastic-based polyurethane leather, attached to a transparent plastic shell. For $1,337."
"According to Razer, you aren't paying just for the throwback shape. You're paying for the prestige of what the brand calls the "exotic supercar of mice." It's something they admit will be, for most buyers, a display piece more than an actual, functional mouse—they even send you a framed, broken-down version with each functional mouse."
"I received this mouse only a day before preorders started, and the 1,337 units sold out almost immediately. If you want one now, you're likely going to be stuck spending nearly $2,000 on the aftermarket."
Razer released a 20th Anniversary Edition of its original Boomslang gaming mouse priced at $1,337, featuring a throwback design with top-tier specifications, PU leather-wrapped body, ambidextrous shape, wireless charging, and a framed exploded mouse display. Despite the premium price tag and plastic construction without gold or genuine leather, all 1,337 units sold out almost immediately upon preorder launch. The mouse targets collectors and nostalgic gamers rather than practical users, with Razer marketing it as an exclusive prestige item and "exotic supercar of mice." The timing capitalizes on renewed interest in early 2000s transparent and futuristic design aesthetics.
