Razer Boomslang 1000 Review

Introduction:

      It's quite a simple idea really.  A company, tired of the poor performance of the mouse peripheral, decides that it is going to forge ahead and create a product which to this day has no equal.    And so the Razer Boomslang was born.    The Razer Boomslang was first introduced in 1999 and was targeted mostly at gamers.  It was quickly embraced by the gaming community and became the de facto standard.  Boomslang's are currently used by the top professional gamers worldwide and after two years nothing has even come close to rivaling its dominance.

     In 2000 when the economy entered a recession after the "Tech Boom" Razer was hard hit and stopped manufacturing the boomslang.  Razer spent a year finding an investment group to support its products and had almost lost hope when it came upon Synergy Media.  Synergy Media along with Leftbid Corp. are now backing Razer which has officially begun manufacturing the Razer Boomslang again.
