00:00:15.179 line cream of the crop oh yeah 00:00:12.719 --> 00:00:20.460 or at least it was the top of the line back in 1999 but gaming mice have 00:00:18.660 --> 00:00:24.060 changed a lot over the last couple of decades so I think the question on 00:00:22.439 --> 00:00:31.800 everyone's mind is can this candy ass RGB lightweight take 00:00:27.539 --> 00:00:34.500 on the Intercontinental

00:00:59.820 --> 00:01:05.580 pulling and it weighs in at just 80 grams 00:01:03.120 --> 00:01:10.680 let's see how I do in AIM Labs wait there are people who do 200 of these in 00:01:07.799 --> 00:01:15.420 a minute oh yeah this sensitivity is definitely not right for me it's a 00:01:12.659 --> 00:01:18.299 little bit high and I'm just I'm I'm ending up just past everything I'm 00:01:17.040 --> 00:01:21.200 trying to compensate and then I'm ending up not going far enough 00:01:26.280 --> 00:01:29.840 tent not bad not bad 00:01:30.000 --> 00:01:34.619 uh is the Logitech gaming software 00:01:33.000 --> 00:01:39.600 installed on here oh 00:01:37.140 --> 00:01:43.439 ah might be 500 I don't know maybe I'm just making all 00:01:41.579 --> 00:01:48.900 this up and I just suck if I don't break 100 I will be Trey's 00:01:45.960 --> 00:01:54.060 embarrassed 96 not nice 71 accuracy though all right 00:01:52.079 --> 00:01:59.640 fine that's that's as good a gamer as I'm ever gonna be I'm number 52 000 in 00:01:56.759 --> 00:02:05.939 the world now the question is how does something from 1999 stack up 00:02:03.299 --> 00:02:10.739 our Razer boom slang is still packed away in its original tin and we got our 00:02:08.759 --> 00:02:14.819 hands on the collector's edition so this is one of just 5 00:02:13.140 --> 00:02:18.900 000 units and this is 00:02:16.319 --> 00:02:22.560 pretty special for me because back when this was the king I don't think my whole 00:02:20.879 --> 00:02:26.760 gaming rig was worth a hundred dollars and gamer specific Hardware was a 00:02:24.720 --> 00:02:35.720 relatively new concept and so was razer's edgy green marketing 00:02:30.920 --> 00:02:39.239 diabolical Synergy Tom scroll wheel 45 00:02:35.720 --> 00:02:41.700 DPR more than twice as precise as a 00:02:39.239 --> 00:02:47.459 standard Mouse ambidextrous Ergo design levels the playing field for right in 00:02:43.860 --> 00:02:51.900 left-handed gamers patented dust barrier 00:02:47.459 --> 00:02:53.900 seven foot cord wow that's a long chord 00:02:51.900 --> 00:02:59.459 bag lunch unprecedented strikes be venomous 00:02:56.280 --> 00:03:01.019 accuracy a revolutionary step in the 00:02:59.459 --> 00:03:06.720 evolution of game controllers that's right Evolution Revolution it's both and 00:03:05.459 --> 00:03:11.220 you know what compared to its competitors the boom slang had a lot 00:03:09.360 --> 00:03:20.400 more going for it than just marketing it's rated at a whopping 2 000 DPI which 00:03:15.599 --> 00:03:25.879 was massive back then especially for a 00:03:20.400 --> 00:03:29.099 ball Mouse oh no right 00:03:25.879 --> 00:03:32.879 oh I love this gray cable can I just say 00:03:29.099 --> 00:03:35.220 gray we want you back that is so classy 00:03:32.879 --> 00:03:40.200 even now it feels like alien technology we've got number 00:03:36.739 --> 00:03:43.080 1671 and this is interesting powered by 00:03:40.200 --> 00:03:48.319 karna Precision patent pending karna actually seized operations due to 00:03:44.940 --> 00:03:51.060 financial issues in 2000 but in 2005 00:03:48.319 --> 00:03:55.379 Razer was revived by former karna employees Robert Krakoff and Min Lang 00:03:52.980 --> 00:03:59.099 tan at a familiar name little fun fact for you want another one the backpack 00:03:57.540 --> 00:04:03.540 and screwdriver are finally almost ready at lttstore.com get signed up and be 00:04:01.440 --> 00:04:08.940 notified when they go live so for those of you who don't know the way that this 00:04:05.940 --> 00:04:11.760 sensor works is this little ball down 00:04:08.940 --> 00:04:16.199 here actually rolls around as you move the mouse transferring that movement to 00:04:13.980 --> 00:04:23.280 inside rollers here at the back of the mouse and here on its left as these well 00:04:20.400 --> 00:04:27.840 also roll they break a thin Light Beam so the more the beam breaks the more the 00:04:25.740 --> 00:04:32.100 mouse has been moved some of you might actually remember needing to clean your 00:04:29.400 --> 00:04:36.419 balls about once a month growing up but I bet you forgot that you also had 00:04:34.320 --> 00:04:41.340 to clean out your rollers because if either of them got Caked Up with dust or 00:04:38.820 --> 00:04:45.240 in my household with so many ladies living there hair 00:04:43.080 --> 00:04:49.800 should get terrible tracking resulting in a very frustrating gaming experience 00:04:47.280 --> 00:04:53.340 my mom had hair down to probably the small of her back when I was growing up 00:04:51.600 --> 00:05:01.380 so there would be hairs wrapped around these rollers that were like 00:04:56.540 --> 00:05:03.060 almost like this anyway uh sorry that 00:05:01.380 --> 00:05:08.820 story is right what else have we got in here nestled in the mouse phone is a USB 00:05:05.759 --> 00:05:12.660 to PS2 adapter probably pretty handy 23 00:05:08.820 --> 00:05:14.880 years ago and then below the foam we've 00:05:12.660 --> 00:05:18.660 got a first edition certificate of ownership 00:05:16.020 --> 00:05:23.940 car quick setup guide install driver shut down plug-in and reboot that's 00:05:21.060 --> 00:05:29.340 right friends it was the year 2000 after all 00:05:24.840 --> 00:05:32.900 we've got uh the latest and greatest on 00:05:29.340 --> 00:05:32.900 technique and technicalia 00:05:32.940 --> 00:05:39.060 this is not your mother's Mouse we know you're chomping at the bit to put this 00:05:37.320 --> 00:05:43.320 baby through the paces you've loaded the driver's tweak your system settings 00:05:40.320 --> 00:05:45.780 plugged in your new razor oh my goodness 00:05:43.320 --> 00:05:50.340 this is amazing to get the ultimate experience and movement and control we 00:05:47.400 --> 00:05:56.340 highly recommend the 3M Precision mousing surface 3M used to make first 00:05:53.580 --> 00:06:01.979 party mouse pads I did not know that we've also got the master guide genre 00:06:00.000 --> 00:06:08.100 defining weapons that make for penetrating explosive gameplay excuse me 00:06:05.300 --> 00:06:11.120 penetrating explosive gameplay you heard me 00:06:09.240 --> 00:06:16.020 prepare to get penetrated David explosively finally our handy dandy 00:06:13.919 --> 00:06:20.280 installation CD this was pretty crucial back then when downloading software 00:06:17.520 --> 00:06:23.580 could take ages and cost you money not so much anymore though get 00:06:22.020 --> 00:06:28.259 subscribed or you might miss our 100 legal way to emulate games video back to 00:06:26.220 --> 00:06:33.120 our Mouse the construction here is a mix of a black rubberized material that 00:06:30.660 --> 00:06:38.639 actually for all its years still feels really good and really grippy and this 00:06:35.720 --> 00:06:42.780 semi-transparent green plastic that hasn't aged quite as well in terms of 00:06:41.160 --> 00:06:46.620 its Aesthetics you can see some of the internals though and probably the coolest thing about them is that it 00:06:45.360 --> 00:06:50.819 looks like you could probably repair this mouse by hand like the solder 00:06:48.960 --> 00:06:55.259 points are so big uh it's got what appear to be PTFE feet and on a modern 00:06:53.819 --> 00:06:58.680 mouse pad like our Northern Lights little titty store it slides around just 00:06:57.419 --> 00:07:01.800 fine can you hear them can you hear the wheel 00:07:00.419 --> 00:07:07.139 yeah yeah that does not sound that great our 00:07:04.919 --> 00:07:11.639 right click is a little mushy but still functional and our left click 00:07:09.660 --> 00:07:14.880 sounds like it should one of the most interesting thing about the primary 00:07:12.900 --> 00:07:20.039 buttons is how long they are this was actually an ergonomic feature because it 00:07:17.639 --> 00:07:24.599 allowed you to rest your hand and click away no matter what your grip type was 00:07:21.800 --> 00:07:27.720 oh wow those are that's where the side buttons are 00:07:26.220 --> 00:07:32.940 Han wow that's a stiff scroll wheel 00:07:30.419 --> 00:07:39.660 it feels like it's kind of designed for ring finger right click and Pinky and 00:07:35.880 --> 00:07:41.099 thumb well it's ambidextrous right so 00:07:39.660 --> 00:07:46.620 interesting I would say that when it comes to 00:07:43.080 --> 00:07:49.380 ergonomics your mileage May no will vary 00:07:46.620 --> 00:07:54.599 on this one that's a very it's a very claw grip you kind of can't spoon it 00:07:52.380 --> 00:07:57.960 because it just it doesn't support you on the sides and I guess the reason for 00:07:56.460 --> 00:08:02.880 the width is it's not really designed for middle and index finger because that would put your wrist at like this 00:08:00.780 --> 00:08:08.520 unnatural angle okay I'm gonna try and use it as intended okay we ready 00:08:05.819 --> 00:08:11.759 did the computer just restart yeah yeah did it just freaking crash my 00:08:10.620 --> 00:08:16.740 computer wow I mean In fairness the instructions 00:08:15.180 --> 00:08:21.599 did say install driver shut down plug-in reboot 00:08:19.620 --> 00:08:26.819 rtfm fair enough 00:08:22.740 --> 00:08:29.039 touche razor I can feel the aches in 00:08:26.819 --> 00:08:34.560 here and here already I haven't even done my small flicks aim test yet 00:08:32.899 --> 00:08:39.260 whoa oh wow that wasn't good 00:08:39.779 --> 00:08:44.520 oh my gosh okay I swear to you I'm not 00:08:43.020 --> 00:08:49.980 Hamming this up this is really hard I feel my whole I 00:08:47.880 --> 00:08:54.240 feel my whole forearm like tensing up here okay now I'm feeling I'm feeling it 00:08:52.320 --> 00:08:58.740 I'm feeling it watch me not actually be any worse I know this is worse 00:08:56.600 --> 00:09:02.060 I can't look at the score right now because I'm aiming 00:09:02.220 --> 00:09:10.080 come on oh that's a lot worse 00:09:07.860 --> 00:09:14.640 it didn't feel that much worse like my intensity was high oh wow I did get more 00:09:12.660 --> 00:09:19.980 accurate over time okay one more time one more time that was warm up I'm going 00:09:16.620 --> 00:09:21.720 for it I'm beating the G Pro Wireless 00:09:19.980 --> 00:09:26.700 here we go there we go get my rhythm get my rhythm here yeah yeah Rhythm Rhythm 00:09:24.420 --> 00:09:30.300 feel the rhythm feel the rhyme Get on Up it's bobsled time 00:09:28.200 --> 00:09:33.740 Cool Runnings 61 60 percent 00:09:35.459 --> 00:09:42.480 G Pro Wireless the truth is that dragging around a heavy mass and it has 00:09:40.260 --> 00:09:49.019 to be heavy because otherwise it won't stay down on the mouse pad just cannot 00:09:46.740 --> 00:09:54.899 provide the same experience as a proper modern Optical sensor 00:09:51.300 --> 00:09:57.120 I mean yeah I know pro at the best of 00:09:54.899 --> 00:10:01.680 times but the ball causes a lot of issues first of all trying to make small 00:09:59.820 --> 00:10:07.560 adjustments well you're running up against the friction between the ball 00:10:03.920 --> 00:10:10.019 and the little plastic retainer for it 00:10:07.560 --> 00:10:15.000 and second of all when you try to do bigger flicks or sweeps 00:10:12.060 --> 00:10:19.740 it's hard to control the ball fully so a quick flick shot could overshoot 00:10:17.000 --> 00:10:25.620 significantly because that ball has momentum it'll keep rolling for up to 00:10:22.500 --> 00:10:29.040 half a second as for the smaller issues 00:10:25.620 --> 00:10:31.440 the mouse is overall pretty heavy at 137 00:10:29.040 --> 00:10:36.779 grams the shape while being advertised as ergonomic and ambidextrous 00:10:34.320 --> 00:10:41.640 kind of resembles a duck's foot and for me it was incredibly uncomfortable like 00:10:39.300 --> 00:10:45.060 my ARM is really uncomfortable after using it for just a few moments but 00:10:43.019 --> 00:10:48.660 apparently after a week you end up with Stockholm syndrome ploof who wrote this 00:10:46.920 --> 00:10:50.839 video claims that he kind of likes it now 00:10:52.260 --> 00:10:59.459 what's cool is that all five of the buttons the two on the sides and the 00:10:57.480 --> 00:11:04.140 three on the top including clicking the scroll wheel are programmable that's 00:11:01.740 --> 00:11:08.940 right I mean no gaming mouse would truly be a gaming mouse without software and 00:11:05.820 --> 00:11:11.459 programmable buttons and guys I gotta 00:11:08.940 --> 00:11:16.980 say while the utility looks like it came straight out of 19.99 it does have some 00:11:14.880 --> 00:11:21.360 pretty interesting features you can change the input on the X and Y axis 00:11:19.200 --> 00:11:25.200 independently you could alter your double click speed your scroll wheel 00:11:23.160 --> 00:11:29.240 speed you've got these cute little test areas 00:11:26.279 --> 00:11:34.740 come out the links still work but still take you 00:11:31.500 --> 00:11:37.260 to Ranger oh my God it totally did it 00:11:34.740 --> 00:11:42.360 takes me to their Chinese site now which is interesting and shockingly this 00:11:39.899 --> 00:11:46.500 program is still on razer's website with the last release coming in April 2011. 00:11:44.519 --> 00:11:51.480 we did manage to install it on Windows 10 in spite of the warning about it 00:11:48.140 --> 00:11:53.579 requiring Windows XP but our sensitivity 00:11:51.480 --> 00:11:59.820 adjustments did not appear to actually do anything so I can't really say that 00:11:56.880 --> 00:12:04.200 it works with that said If you're looking for the shape and feel of the 00:12:01.320 --> 00:12:08.760 boom slang you can still use it on a modern gaming rig I just wouldn't 00:12:06.300 --> 00:12:13.320 recommend it because whether you like it or not this is what Peak Performance 00:12:11.220 --> 00:12:16.860 looks like now and we're gonna have a handful of excellent modern gaming mice 00:12:15.060 --> 00:12:21.240 at various price points in the video description that are not this if what 00:12:19.380 --> 00:12:26.820 you really care about is the Nostalgia though there was actually a sort of 00:12:23.279 --> 00:12:29.040 reissue or update back in 2007 with the 00:12:26.820 --> 00:12:34.380 boomslang collector's edition it had an 1800 DPI 3G infrared sensor and 1000 00:12:32.459 --> 00:12:38.519 Hertz pulling rate unfortunately it was limited to just 10 000 units so we might 00:12:36.779 --> 00:12:46.260 have a hard time getting your hands on one we did find two on eBay but they 00:12:40.800 --> 00:12:50.040 range from 169 US Dollars nice to 500 US 00:12:46.260 --> 00:12:52.920 Dollars which is not nice by any measure 00:12:50.040 --> 00:12:57.300 unlike the Segway to our sponsor Mexico love playing with the Oculus Quest 2 but 00:12:55.620 --> 00:13:02.940 hate dealing with keeping your headset charged and stored nicely nexago's new 00:12:59.940 --> 00:13:04.200 s20
