Razer Launches Limited-Edition Boomslang Gaming Mouse for $1,337

[August West]

A fool and their money are soon parted.

 

[WestonHarvey1]

That is the ugliest mouse I've ever seen.

K shaped economy continues.

 

[klasma]

I’m going to guess that the answer is no, but other than being a limited edition item, is there a reason for the high price tag?

Profit?

 

[Apple_Robert]

Absurd. Ranks up there with the phone sock.

 

[ThailandToo]

This is a good reason not to whine about a $2000+ iPhone Fold. Insane.

 

[TVreporter]

I'm not buying it if the charging port isn't on the bottom!!!

 

[djphat2000]

I'm sure this mouse is as accurate as it could possibly be. 😉

 

[TheDauterive]

I never want to hear another word about Apple pricing.

Just stay out of the threads where we talk about it. You won’t hear a thing.

$1,337 for a mouse? Ouch. That Razer will give a pretty close shave to your wallet.

The original Razer Boomslang was one of the first gaming mice, providing a wheel that boasted more precise mouse tracking than other mic on the market.

Apple that magic moist is looking like a joke these days and so is the price of this one.

Seems like no one proofreads their stuff before hitting "submit" nowadays.

I, for one, am looking forward to spending "leet" money on the upcoming Apple Magic Moist.

Reminds me of that app "I am rich", that cost $9,999 on the app store. Whole idea was to buy it and leave it on your home screen to advertise your wealth. I don't think this Razer mouse will be making the gamer girls moist, though.

 

[Tyler O'Bannon]

Unless they are including a gaming PC for that price, it’s a no for me.

Why is this even being posted? Razer stopped supporting MacOS some time ago.

Edit: I take that back, it looks like they've now finally release Synapse 3 and now support some peripherals

 

[CarAnalogy]

Had one of the originals, absolutely amazing mouse for the time. This re release is a collectors item, for people that have too much money, and I'm sure they will sell them all.

This guy gets it. The original was a mouse from back when people actually said 1337 unironically. Well, it was a different kind of irony.

 

[Amazing Iceman]

Imagine paying $1,337 for a mouse. Absolute clown behavior. Razer is literally laughing at you while they cash in on stupidity. Some people’s kids man….

Professional gamers who actually make money playing may buy these.

Do they support the RGB Chroma feature for the Mac?

This thing will be outdated, will break down, or be unsupported in 3-5 years. What will its collector's value be then?

 

[lovehateapple]

Yes, but can it be charged right side up???

Collector's value doesn't hinge on a device being supported, though. If you truly buy it as a "collectable" you're not even going to open the packaging. It will still be mechanically new 10 years from now, and whether it has OS support doesn't matter. Just like people buy NOS iPods.

 

[Killa78]

Hard Pass. WTH!? They aint even tryin’ to hide it these days. Also, crappy job numbers incoming tomorrow.

Depends if the source is reliable...believable...non compromised?

I think that was $6,999 which was the maximum allowed in the App Store.

 

[d5aqoëp]

I would rather buy 64 GB DDR5 RAM than this abomination

 

[contacos]

"each with its own unique serial number" this is clearly aimed at silicon valley nerds with too much money. The fake a$$ fomo limitation is the icing on the cake
