The ATTACK SHARK X3 is a budget wireless gaming mouse with a small, symmetrical shape and a centered hump in the middle of its solid plastic body. It uses a PixArt PAW3395 sensor and a Beken BK3633 MCU. It has a maximum polling rate of 1000Hz, and you can connect it using the included 2.4GHz wireless USB receiver or with Bluetooth.

Our Verdict

0.0
Work 

The ATTACK SHARK X3 is a decent work mouse, although it's mainly designed for gaming. It has good overall build quality and an accommodating, if somewhat small, symmetrical shape. You can remap its buttons using the companion software and connect to up to three devices simultaneously using Bluetooth and its included wireless USB receiver. That said, it lacks some useful productivity features like L/R scroll wheel inputs and a free-scrolling mode.

Pros
  • Good build quality.

  • Fantastic wireless versatility with both Bluetooth and 2.4GHz USB connectivity.

Cons
  • Scroll wheel lacks free scrolling and L/R tilt inputs.

0.0
Video Games (FPS) 

The ATTACK SHARK X3 is a very good FPS gaming mouse for casual play. It's lightweight and has an accommodating symmetrical shape, excellent mouse feet, and good build quality that help it feel great in your hand. That said, while its sensor performance is great, its click latency is only decent and isn't suitable for competitive gaming at the highest caliber without any disadvantage.

Pros
  • Good build quality.

  • Lightweight.

  • Great overall sensor performance.

Cons
  • Slightly high and inconsistent click latency is suitable for casual gaming but too high for competitive gaming.

0.0
Video Games (MMO) 

The ATTACK SHARK X3 is okay for MMO or MOBA gaming. While it doesn't have nearly as many side buttons as dedicated MMO mice, you can remap the buttons it does have with the companion software quite easily. It has good build quality and an accommodating, if a little small, symmetrical shape. While its sensor performs well, its click latency is only decent and could be too high depending on your competitive level.

Pros
  • Good build quality.

  • Great overall sensor performance.

Cons
  • Fewer additional buttons than dedicated MMO mice.

  • Slightly high and inconsistent click latency is suitable for casual gaming but too high for competitive gaming.

Raw Performance 

The ATTACK SHARK X3 has great raw performance overall. It has excellent sensor latency and tracks your movements accurately for the most part. Still, its sensor performance isn't quite as good as other mice with the same sensor, as it exhibits a slightly higher degree of speed-related accuracy variation (SRAV) than expected. Also, while decent, its click latency is fairly high and somewhat inconsistent, making it best suited for casual titles.

Pros
  • Excellent sensor latency.

Cons
  • Slightly high and inconsistent click latency is suitable for casual gaming but too high for competitive gaming.

  • Slightly higher than expected SRAV.

    Differences Between Sizes And Variants

    Popular Mouse Comparisons

    The ATTACK SHARK X3 is a budget wireless gaming mouse with a symmetrical shape and a solid plastic body. It's a smaller mouse whose shape is closely reminiscent of the Razer Viper Mini, so it's best suited for claw or palm grip for smaller hands, or fingertip grip for medium to large hands.

    Unfortunately, it's a decidedly worse performer than other budget mice with the same or similar specifications, like the MCHOSE L7 Pro and the VGN Dragonfly F1 Pro Max. Its biggest shortcoming is its click latency, which is significantly worse than those options. Still, it's absolutely suitable for casual titles and non-competitive gaming, and it's usually more readily available from major retailers and goes on sale more frequently than those mice.

    Logitech G305 LIGHTSPEED

    Track

    The Logitech G305 LIGHTSPEED and the ATTACK SHARK X3 are symmetrical wireless gaming mice. The Logitech has an egg-like shape with sides that taper in and a rounder rear end, whereas the the ATTACK SHARK has flatter sides and a hump with a more gradual slope. The Logitech has better raw performance, with better click latency and a more accurate sensor, while the ATTACK SHARK is significantly lighter and has better mouse feet. It also uses an internal rechargeable battery and supports Bluetooth, while the Logitech only connects to one device at a time with a USB wireless receiver and is powered by a disposable AA battery.

    MCHOSE L7 Pro

    Track

    The MCHOSE L7 Pro is a better gaming mouse overall than the ATTACK SHARK X3. It's lighter, has better build quality, and has better overall performance than the ATTACK SHARK. That said, the ATTACK SHARK has better mouse feet than the MCHOSE.

    VGN Dragonfly F1 Pro Max

    Track

    The VGN Dragonfly F1 Pro Max and the ATTACK SHARK X3 are budget gaming mice. They have similar, small symmetrical shapes, but the VGN is slightly lower and flatter, while the ATTACK SHARK is slightly taller and rounder. The VGN is a better all-around performer than the ATTACK SHARK, with better click latency and sensor performance. It also has better build quality with a more solid assembly.

    Keychron M3 Mini

    Track

    The Keychron M3 Mini and the ATTACK SHARK X3 are lightweight budget gaming mice. They have very similar symmetrical shapes, but the ATTACK SHARK is marginally lighter, albeit with slightly worse build quality. The Keychron, however, delivers better performance, with much lower click latency and a more accurate sensor implementation.
