Performance

Now, onto the real deal… is the Razer Boomslang a good performer? Let’s see…

First of all you should know that this is no rushed article, I have been using it for more than two months now (that’s with an average usage of 5 hours a day) and I have tested it in just about everything you could imagine, from Windows usual pointing and clicking, to some image editing and gaming, of course.

I can resume the Windows experience into the following:
Overall it took me about three days to get used to it, I mean, up to the point to not even feel I was using a new mouse or anything, just move and point to whatever I wanted unconsciously.

The smoothness, while is not a bad thing it’s not great either for windows usage, you don’t need much precision for this kind of tasks so no real improvement there however that combined with the speed the mouse gives you a lot of freedom.

In the other hand I felt kind of uncomfortable after long periods of usage, especially for the fact the mouse isn’t for right-handed people only so you don’t have an easy/normal way of resting the other fingers. Also sometimes because of the sensitivity and position of the main buttons, a single click converted in a double one and it screwed stuff more than once for me. That kind of stuff also happens with a normal mouse so it’s not all Razer’s fault but as a conclusion, getting this mouse only for Windows usage is not the best deal.

Now, on what should really matter, Gaming Performance.

Other than getting used to the different shape of the Razer Boomslang I can swear I fell in love with this mouse since the first time I played Unreal Tournament with it.

I’m not promising you will get more frags, better skills or any of those claims that sound almost stupid to me, but what I’m sure of is that once you get used to it (took me 10 minutes) you will feel much more comfortable and you will be more confident that you will rock da house! (I had to say that).
