Details and specs
The Attack Shark R1 is a cheap, light wireless gaming mouse. At about 59 grams it weighs noticeably less than a typical office mouse, and its ergonomic shape is made for resting your palm or arching your fingers in a claw grip.
It connects three ways: a USB-C cable, a 2.4 GHz USB dongle for low-lag wireless play, or Bluetooth for laptops and tablets. You switch modes with a button on the underside. The maker quotes up to about 65 hours of use per charge.
Inside is a PixArt PAW3311 sensor, an older design that is accurate enough for everyday and casual gaming. If you play competitive shooters, a mouse with a newer sensor (such as the PAW3395) tracks more precisely for a similar price. The shell is plastic and the software is basic, which is what you would expect at this price.
- PixArt PAW3311 optical sensor, up to 18,000 DPI
- Polling rate up to 1000 Hz
- Tri-mode connection: wired USB-C, 2.4 GHz wireless, Bluetooth
- Weight about 59 g
- Size about 123 × 64 × 41 mm, ergonomic shape
- Up to about 65 hours of battery life (maker’s figure)
