It was the year 1998, and a new generation of gaming mice was about to be born. Razer, a young company founded only a year prior, had released their first gaming mouse, the Boomslang. It was a simple product, comfortable to hold and use with just two buttons and a scroll wheel. But it was also a revolutionary product, the first of its kind designed specifically for gamers. The Boomslang would go on to become one of the most popular gaming mice of all time, loved by professional gamers and casual gamers alike.<\/p>\n

The first gaming mouse was the Microsoft Intellimouse 3.0, released in 1999.<\/p>\n
