One of the most cool features of the Boomslang is that it can handle speed and sensitivity on-the-fly. For example, if you play Quake III (or whatever game) there is always the possibility that your mouse handles to slow or way too fast. Normally you have to quit the game, go to your mouse properties and change that. The Boomslang can do it while you are playing ! This can be done while in a full-screen D3D or OpenGL game, you just press down the thumb button, and use the scroll wheel to adjust sensitivity any time, in mid-game. Of course you can also use the standard and highly programmable Razer Customizer.

The Customizer has a wide variety of options that you can setup and test. It's great and stable software. The buttons are programmable, when needed you can choose left or right handed, adjust sensitivity and click speeds. you can upgrade the driver software online. Just pop-up your Razer customizer, hit update and  reboot, everything will install automatically without a hassle.

Dust barrier
every mouse that I have owned and know had the same problem time after time .. Dust. Don't you hate it when your mouse won't move like you want it to ? Normally when you open up your mouse the wheels are intensely covered with dust. The Boomslang promises to end this problem due to its innovative plastic membrane lines inside of the controller. Well, I can't say that it works at this time, ask me again in half a year.
