Say it isn't so! Better yet, tell me it's NOT a cruel hoax!

First check out the home page for Razer.

I am PUMPED! I have 2 count 'em TWO defunct boomslang 2000 mice in my supply area, and one working boomslang. Which means that I can get a good price on at least of the new boomslang mice.

Looks like I am finally going to SCORE!

And you guys pick on me for keeping old equipment.

Big news or big peace of crap! I Payed $100 for mine and has been, well not good. Had to go to a slower mouse. What ever happened to the 2500's that were recalled? made them into 2100's maybe:eek: I guess I got to find some reviews.

ZWarrior · « **Reply #3 on:** October 07, 2003, 11:45:17 AM »

All the reviews that I have read say it's a good unit.

Haven't heard much bad about them.

Hows that?

The last reviewer slams it good.

ZWarrior · « **Reply #8 on:** October 09, 2003, 11:10:33 AM »

The biggest gripe seemed to be about the mouse "tilting" to the right when you right click. That's an odd issue.

Everyone else seems to be liking it though.

He must of had older drivers for the mx500. now you can program every botton.

ZWarrior · « **Reply #10 on:** October 10, 2003, 11:51:21 AM »

I noticed that as well. Gotta love the new drivers. But I still find myself liking my Boomslang 2000.

Yes I know I do too.I hard to watch the click click click on the screen as you move your mouse. I know you understand.

I STill Love me Boomslang 2k Its flawless
99% of the time I just wish it had a better body (sorta like my MX700 but not quite)

I whant to try the new BoomSlang comming out

ZWarrior · « **Reply #14 on:** October 13, 2003, 12:12:41 PM »

Keep an eye out for the trade-in message then!

Hey Wolverine, why don't you try selling it on EBay? If you aren't going to use it, there are plenty of peeps that would buy it from you. Especially since you can't get them anymore, and the other ones won't be available to the general public in the US for a while.

Just a thought.8/

ah yes, the boomslangs!!!
I actually have two of them (and for a time I got very used to them) however, i pacted them away cause I was too lazy to clean the ball. I actually have about the 50th boomslang manufactured. I'll try to remember to bring it next LP. Its only 1000 dpi

opiesilver · « **Reply #16 on:** October 14, 2003, 10:52:13 PM »

Had one of those. Think I sold it to Morpheus.

Morpheus · « **Reply #17 on:** October 15, 2003, 11:09:44 AM »

yes you did... I returned it to the distributor and got 2...hehehe:D...they worked better, but still had issues every now and then...now I use the MX500

opiesilver · « **Reply #18 on:** October 20, 2003, 03:40:35 PM »

This is the last two lines in their mouse review.

"Lastly, the Terratec Razer Boomslang is a dated show-off item for extremists who claim that only a trackball and very-high speeds can help you win at Half Life."

Didn't get a very good review. They want $40 for an upgrade. That $20 to much for me.

ZWarrior · « **Reply #20 on:** October 21, 2003, 09:08:38 AM »

You can now go and take advantage of the trade up deal. Comes to $39.99US plus shipping.

I am using a MX700, but I can definitely see a difference in the resolutions. there have already been times playing with the MX700 that I couldn't settle right on target. Hopefully I can get a good review made of this new item.

n1c · « **Reply #21 on:** October 26, 2003, 11:20:43 PM »

I also have ran into several times where i can not aim right on with me MX 700

Fraggster · « **Reply #22 on:** October 27, 2003, 10:18:14 AM »

If i see one of you guyz at a LAN i might have to try out this mouse for myself.

ZWarrior · « **Reply #23 on:** October 27, 2003, 12:06:59 PM »

I am considering attending the NerdClub event at the end of the year, but nothing firm.

Odd because it makes me wonder just how hard he has to POUND on his right mouse button to make it click.

The way the review is written makes it worth about a half a grain of salt.

You have to give the Boomslang at least two weeks of continuouse use. Once you make it that far, there is no other mouse for you. I have a broken 2000 and will definitely be trading in for a 2100.

The naysayers just didn't give the mouse enough time, and didn't learn how to use it. It's not geared for the average consumer.
