Anyone tried the new XP Razer boomslang drivers for XP ?? man what a difference

and I cant believe they actually got a set out tbh ...hehe but it's nice to see updates are still being made to the site after ages! http://www.razerzone.com/ Well I dug out my old Razer to give it another try and now I know why I bought it in the first place. What a mouse and more dpi than any other mouse on the market.

I've always wanted to get a Razer, but I was waiting for XP drivers to come out first. I take it that the XP drivers completely rock?

Well yes

man I love my boomslang

I currently have a Microsoft Wireless Intellipoint mouse, and while it's a good mouse, I always have the sensitivity as high as the computer will let me for gaming... and I can feel the lack of resolution then. I can move the mouse physically to within something like .2mm of where I want it to go, but when the mouse will only move in fits and jumps of 2-3px, I can't aim as accurately as I should... do you have a Boomslang 1000 or 2000? I've been looking at the 2000, but I've heard that they are significantly more fragile...

If you lower you sensitivity, your mouse will move 1 pixel at a time.
At least it does with mine.

nice but i want now a 2500 dpi optical

Yep, I know, but then my reflexes will be shot - the way I play, my arm never moves, only my wrist - ~1.5" = 360 turn, and anything less sensitive than that will just mess with the way I like to game

Not like im one to care about blowing money on my comp i find this mice a little over priced.

ToshiroOC · Apr 9, 2003, 05:54 AM

Over priced? With my hand problems and the amount of time I would be spending on the mouse... I think it would be worth it. I would much rather have a very nice keyboard, a very nice mouse, a very nice monitor, and then a mediocre rig than the other way around. I won't miss 10fps that much - I will miss a comfortable keyboard, quality monitor, and quality mouse, because those are the things that I am really _using_ most of the time...
