ATTACK SHARK X8ULTRA Wireless Gaming Mouse, 42000 DPI PAW3950MAX Sensor, 8000Hz Polling Optical Nordic 52840 Tri-Mode 2.4G/BT/Wired, 55g Lightweight Big Hand Ergonomic Mouse with Coiled Cable-Black

5/5, Amazing value at the price, great gaming mouse with all the features packed in!
My review is for the Attack Shark X8 Ultar Gaming Mouse. I bought the Ultra/White version, for some reason this version comes with a coiled-cable. Looking it over on Attack Shark’s site,this is a coiled cable specifically for mice – a first for everything, it was a nice addition and I appreciate it though I probably won’t put it to much use (don’t quite get it). As you can see,this mouse includes everything imaginable. It’s a bit overwhelming but it’s all neatly packed into a nice, normal sized mouse box.-X8 ULTRA Mouse-Attack Shark Stickers-Spare PTFE Feed-8K Dongle-Normal USB-C Cable-Coiled USB-C Cable-Grip Tape for the MouseThe mouse feels great in the hand. The touch-coating they mentioned feels quite nice, I like the feel of it. Setup with their software was quite easy, I just downloaded it from the Attack Shark website, chose my preferences,and we’re off to the races. It’s not fancy, but it’s actually pretty good software-wise (there is also a web app if you don’t want to install the desktop app). The English is a little off, there’ssome funny ones such as the “LEVEL OF DEAFNESS” setting for the mouse, measured in milimeters. Not really a problem though, the brand mice will charge you 3x the price to geta fancy graphic designer to make the same functionality look pretty. I can live with Attack Shark’s offering, it’s quite good.One early urgent caveat and complaint I’ll leverage: the mouse clicks have a mild spring/scratch/noise to them that isn’t present on my upper tier mice (that cost 2-3x the price). I have read this is normal with OmronOptical’s, and that even the brand units that have started using these switches sound this way. I’ll have to do some further testing, but it’s a little cause for alarm on what is otherwise a great new mouse.The scroll wheel is serviceable, notched but very slightly, it’s easy to scroll and click the button. Side buttons are sharp and click very well. The feet were nicely sealed and once I broke them in alittle bit it feels and skates along nice and smooth, I like the job they did with these skates, on my hard pad it worksout nicelyt.Overall this mouse is very affordable compared with some of the name brand name G mice and you may have taken interest in this new X8 ULTRA variant. I find it an incredible buy at retail, what mattered to me is thatthe Attack Shark X8 Ultra ticked every single box I’d thought up for “what I want in a g prop mouse”. Some of the clones are edging up to the $100-120 range, which at that phase is ridiculous considering you can getsuch great value with this mouse. I highly recommend it, will be heavy in my rotation the next few months.5/5, Amazing value at the price, great gaming mouse with all the frills!UPDATE: After the first full night of gaming, I can say the clicks issue has resolved itself. This thing smacks! Can’t believe the price they sell it for, it competes with a number of my $125+ mice! This one’s worth watching!

The Best Mouse Attack Shark Has Made
Clicks: Omron opticals. We’ve made it to the promised land. An Attack Shark mouse has omron opticals and they feel pretty good. I’m impressed.Side Buttons: Tactile but could protrude more. Glossy which is nice though.Coating: Solid, rubberized coating. Shocking, not amazing, but good.Scroll Wheel: Light, defined steps on the scroll. Not too loud and a medium but spammable click.Skates: Not super fast but not super slow, they don’t have adhesive around the edges and they’re high quality. Good stuff.Build Integrity: Spot on, very good. No creaking, no flex. It’s well-built.Shape/Weight: 59 grams on my scale. Not bad and a little bit more than a GPX. Shape is a GPX clone through and through which is not news (or at least it shouldn’t be).Much like the Pro version this is better value than the GPX and actually feels better in a handful of areas, which is just not what you want to hear if you’re Logitech. Full recommendation from me.

The Attack Shark X8 Ultra might look a little familiar and this is because yes, the shape is a very close clone of a very popular Logitech mouse, though that model costs quite a bit more. Always wanted to know what the fuss was about with that so I thought I would try this out.Pros:• Fairly lightweight at 59g (though not ultra light)• Decent battery life for a 500mAh cell and high settings• Very comfortable shape and isnt too small• Solid sensor and MCU• Web driver is finally pretty good• Mouse coating is actually beneficial, not too slippery in actual useCons:• Included cables are not great.• Difficult to tell what switches are actually being used without disassembly.I get it now. I see why this shape has been so popular.While this is not an ultralight mouse coming in at 59g on my scale it is still a lightweight wireless offering, and it feels pretty great to me. This is a slightly larger mouse, so better for larger hands than some. While I am not and have not ever really been a palm mouser I find I have been palming this more comfortably, it just fits my hands snugly, though my typical fingertip grip works as well. For context I typically wear size medium or large men’s gloves, and my prior mouse (an Attack Shark R5) I found to be just a tad too small. There does not seem to be any excessive creaking or flexing as I put pressure around the frame, if any at all. This uses an external dongle which you place closer to the mouse for better reception. It has a multi function light on it which is rather bright, but it can be turned off.The included Skates are some of the better ones I have used in this segment, and there is even and extra set in the box. This mouse does have some sort of coating on it and while I was not a fan the first moment I tried it, it actually grew on me. At first this feels very silky smooth to the touch, almost too slippery I worried. However upon getting into some FPS and as my hands heated up the grip somehow increases. I had no issues with it slipping away over the last week of use. This version comes with grip tape but honestly I do not think I will be needing it as I have not had any issues keeping a solid grip on it so far. The last week also represents the battery life I managed to get out of it running it at 4000Hz, which is not bad for the size of the battery and the performance.The main clicks are reported on the listing to be Omron Optical, however in the past Attack Shark has claimed this when it has not been true and changed listings afterwards, so there could be mechanicals here instead. No one wants to get something with misleading specs, even if it works fine otherwise. The listing states Optical, and then also lists 100m which typically denotes a slightly different switch as Opticals typically are labeled 70m. Ive seen this happen before with them, and unfortunately I wont know 100% without pulling it apart. I can tell, however, that these do sound different than the typical mechanical switches I have used, with a lightly lower tone and a subtle slight pinging on release if you listen close. They are also a little quieter overall, though that might because there are no holes in this mouse. Either way they feel good enough to me. Little pre-travel before they engage and only a small amount of post. They still feel better than most mice I used a few years ago.The keys themselves don’t have much play in any direction. Side clicks are acceptable, but a little more mushy than I’d like. Comfortable enough in both position and size. The wheel feels no better or worse than pretty much any other gaming mouse I have used in the last few years, it has softer detents to it but not overly so that it just slips and the grip is good.One thing I was also surprised at is the Web Driver for the mouse. Often times with the less mainstream brands they are a mess, however this one is well laid out and easy to adjust. I think they labeled the settings for the external receiver’s light incorrectly but otherwise its a big step up from others like this I have tried. There’s not an excessive amount of options here, but you get DPI, report rate, LOD, Ripple correction, Straight line correction, Motion sync, and a few other tweaks. Like I said I have been using this at 4000hz, but I believe out of the box it was configured to run at 1000hz oddly, I believe for battery life. 8000hz I find to be unnecessary, even 4000 is more than enough for the vast majority. High report rates use more energy and can actually lag your PC depending on the specs.My only real negative with the mouse is similar to other Attack Shark mice and that is I do not like the included cables. This comes with two, one is a braided style you would typically see included but it is much stiffer than those installed on most gaming mice. The other cable is a coiled/aviation style that is more often seen on keyboards, but scaled down. I don’t really find this fits in the desk setup properly anywhere, and its also rather stiff. Given how I use this 95% of the time wireless I don’t really take points off for it, i only use them to charge the mouse and its still usable while wired.I’ve really been enjoying this one, its comfortable and overall very solid. The Ultra is the highest of the X8 series, though Attack Shark has 3 other versions of this with slightly different features. With all the extra grips and cables and such this does start to push the price up more than I’d like to see, even if it is a pretty great mouse otherwise. It has become my daily driver for now.
