Razor Boomslang. Takes some getting used to but if you play FPS games this is your baby

yeah i'm swaying that way m8,
but iv'e spent the last two hours trying to find someone that sells them, there on-line store is down for a while, and i'm stumped if i can find someone that sells em, any clues.
i've even tried a south african search engine as my folks are over there at the moment and i thought they could get me it cheaper.

geordie land in england m8,
don't think they are supplying the mouse anymore, there doesn't seem to be any xp drivers for it neither.

they are working on them though and expect them soon.
but hell can i find a store, lol

I prefer Logitech hardware above Microsoft. Never tried the Razor Boomslang, so can't help ya with this.

I am stumped. I bought mine from a computer fair. Sorry i cant be of much help to ya. Whats the weather like up there in Geordie Land???

pistehead · #8 08-05-2002, 08:42

what ya using m8, trackball or dual optical for on-line gaming?
weather is a bit overcast, been crap all week really

dr evil · #9 08-05-2002, 08:48

Optical. The weather is nice and sunny down here in London !!! Just to make you jealous. I also quite often use a microsoft intellimouse (bcoz my wife prefers it) and I have to say if you cant find the boomslang, these mice are pretty decent.

now i know where you get the name evil from, lol
the weather may be nice down there, but your doing the same as me just looking at it out of the window, as there is more important stuff to do inside, does your lass hoover around you for ages trying to drop hints, lol
cheers for ya time

Nah she generally just pulls the plug out !!!! Anyway I have found out where you can get the Razor Boomslang......... i found an article in PC format which lets you know where to get it from...However I forgot to bring it to work and cant remember the name...... AAAARRRRRGGGGHHHHHHH.!!!! If you can wait till tommorrow i will let you know... or you can buy the mag yourself. Have fun. Just to let you know that its miserable down here today. Hope to frag you online someday. What connection do you have ???

pistehead · #12 09-05-2002, 04:08

i'll go get this months mag, cheers you've been really helpful, drank too much watching the game last night have just got up 11.30hrs, lol.
at the moment i'm on 56k, i tried getting broadband but it isn't in the area, where i'm moving to has cable, better social life but bigger travel to work.
no doubt you would frag me, my ping is that high i'm dead before i get a shot off, think i'll stick to sniper, lol.
thanks again for putting your self out, i'm holding out for an e-mail from my folks in cape town as the rand/pound exchange makes everything a lot cheaper over there, saying that if i've struggled finding one here there's little chance finding one over there, will let you know how i get on.
what concerns me is i bought a saitek p2000 gamepad last year, and they have stopped developing xp drivers, rendering the pad useless, and although the razor looks the kiddie they haven't released an xp driver for it yet, although they are working on one, i think the company are having problems.
now where did i put my headache tablets, lol
