Attack Shark R2

Name: Attack Shark R2
Brand: Attack Shark
SKU: 66136

Manufacturer: Attack Shark

The Attack Shark R2 is a lightweight ambidextrous gaming mouse designed for users who want flexibility across wired and wireless setups. Weighing just 45 g, it connects via USB, Bluetooth 5.2, or 2.4GHz wireless, making it easy to switch between devices. Its PixArt PAW3950 sensor handles tracking demands across a wide DPI range, and the six fully programmable buttons give users meaningful control customization without adding unnecessary bulk.

On the technical side, the R2 operates at a polling rate of 8000 Hz and supports speeds up to 750 IPS with a maximum acceleration of 50G. DPI is adjustable between 800 and 42000, with a dedicated switching button for on-the-fly adjustments. The rechargeable battery is rated for up to 200 hours of use and supports continued operation while charging, though wireless charging is not available. The mouse measures 117.6 mm in height, 61.8 mm in width, and 38.9 mm in thickness, and ships with a 1.8 m cable. It carries a one-year warranty and has no onboard memory profile storage.

Pros

Supports three connection methods — USB, 2.4GHz wireless, and Bluetooth 5.2 — allowing flexible use across different setups
Rated for up to 200 hours of battery life per charge, reducing the need for frequent recharging
Can be used while charging, so a low battery does not interrupt a session
Ambidextrous shape accommodates both left- and right-handed users
All six buttons are fully programmable, offering complete input customization
Weighs only 45 g, making it easy to move and reducing strain during extended use

Cons

No onboard memory profiles, meaning custom settings cannot be stored directly on the mouse
Wireless charging is not supported, requiring a physical cable to recharge
No RGB lighting for users who want visual customization
Does not include a profile switching button, limiting quick on-device profile swaps
No tilting or thumb scroll wheel, restricting horizontal scrolling options
Extra swappable weights are not included, so the fixed 45 g weight cannot be adjusted

Who is this for?

The Attack Shark R2 is well-suited to users who frequently switch between devices, thanks to its three connectivity modes — USB, 2.4GHz wireless, and Bluetooth 5.2. Its ambidextrous shape and 45 g weight make it a practical choice for both left- and right-handed users who prefer a light mouse during long sessions. The 8000 Hz polling rate and 42000 DPI ceiling also make it a reasonable fit for gamers who demand responsive, fine-tuned tracking, while the 200-hour battery life suits those who want minimal interruption across extended wireless use.

Who is this NOT for?

Users who rely on onboard memory profiles to carry personalized settings between systems will find this mouse limiting, as it stores no profiles directly on the device. Those who prefer a mouse with RGB lighting or adjustable weight tuning will also find the R2 lacking, as neither feature is available. Additionally, users who need horizontal scrolling via a tilting or thumb scroll wheel — common in content creation or spreadsheet-heavy workflows — will find the scroll wheel setup insufficient for those tasks.

Final Verdict

The Attack Shark R2 presents a focused package for gamers and multi-device users who prioritize low weight, flexible connectivity, and responsive tracking. Its 8000 Hz polling rate paired with a 200-hour wireless battery life is a notable combination that few mice in this form factor manage to offer, and the ambidextrous build with full button programmability broadens its practical appeal. Where it falls short — no onboard profile storage, no wireless charging, and a stripped-back feature set without RGB or adjustable weight — reflects deliberate design trade-offs rather than oversights, pointing to a mouse built for function over flair. For users whose priorities align with those choices, the R2 is a well-specified, lightweight gaming mouse that delivers where it matters most.
