The Razer Boomslang 20th Anniversary Edition gaming mouse costs over one thousand dollars. $1,337, to be specific. It's not made of gold. It doesn't even have real leather on the leather-wrapped components. It's a plastic-based polyurethane leather, attached to a transparent plastic shell. For $1,337.

Nintendo's Switch 2 Pro controller committed the one cardinal sin no gamepad should ever perpetrate: it made me lose. Nintendo's $90 first-party controller exclusive to the Switch 2 has large, snappy stickstoo snappy, in fact. Flicking the joystick from one side and releasing it will cause it to flick back so fast that the gamepad will register an input in the opposite direction.

A keyboard is more than the sum of its parts. To have a truly great typing experience, a lot has to come together-each aspect of a keyboard needs to be designed (or selected) with the rest of it in mind. But not every keyboard needs to strive for a great typing experience. Sometimes, they just need to get the job done. Take, for example, the Razer Huntsman V3 Pro.

The Corsair Galleon 100 SD didn't just come out of the ether. The new full-size mechanical keyboard with a Stream Deck fused to its side is the result of a lot of things coming together over the years. Corsair's gaming business is more refined than ever, and Stream Deck's wide ecosystem of plug-ins makes the dedicated hardware useful to just about anyone, even if they have little interest in streaming. The fusion makes sense.

Vertical mice promise ergonomic relief. MMO mice deliver tactical control. Pick one, because the market says you can't have both. Except SOLAKAKA apparently didn't get that memo. The E9 Pro arrives as the first vertical MMO mouse, featuring a 45 degree ergonomic grip alongside a 10 button thumb panel that would make World of Warcraft players weep with joy. It feels like the peripheral equivalent of discovering your favorite coffee shop also serves excellent ramen.

Tech moves fast, breaks things, ships updates, iterates. The entire industry is built on the assumption that this year's product will be obsolete by next year, and that's fine because next year's version will be better anyway. Then you see someone in Fukui Prefecture spending twenty minutes hand-sanding a single wooden keyboard key, checking it by touch, and the whole paradigm feels suddenly optional.

HELIX is a biomorphic controller concept that borrows its overall stance from an owl, symmetrical, balanced, and ready to move. It's designed to come apart and fit back together easily, working as a single controller or as two separate pieces. The flexible shape is meant to follow how players actually sit and shift during long sessions instead of forcing one rigid grip that starts to ache after the third hour.

The 20th Anniversary Edition of the Razer Boomslang replaces those mechanical components with a 45,000 DPI optical sensor. The original mouse's symmetrical ambidextrous design has been carried forward, but the new Boomslang is now wireless with an 8,000Hz polling rate and comes with a Razer Mouse Dock Pro wireless charging stand. You'll also find 9-zone customizable RGB lighting on the underside of the new Boomslang that can be synced to over 300 games; a feature the Razer brand has become known for.
