Attack Shark X1 specifications and in-depth review

Attack Shark X1

Manufacturer: Attack Shark

The Attack Shark X1 is a lightweight ambidextrous gaming mouse designed for users who want flexibility in how they connect and use their peripheral. Weighing just 53 grams, it suits extended sessions where carrying comfort and maneuverability matter, and its tri-mode connectivity — wired USB, 2.4GHz wireless, and Bluetooth 5.4 — means it can adapt to a range of setups without being locked into a single mode.

Under the hood, the X1 is powered by the PixArt PAW3950 Pro sensor, which supports a DPI range from 50 to 40000 and tracks at speeds up to 700 IPS with a maximum acceleration tolerance of 60G. The mouse operates at a 1000Hz polling rate and offers a rechargeable battery rated for up to 192 hours of use. It includes 6 buttons in total, with 5 programmable and 2 dedicated side buttons, though it ships without onboard memory profiles or RGB lighting, and cannot be used while charging.

Pros
  • Tri-mode connectivity via USB, 2.4GHz wireless, and Bluetooth 5.4 offers flexible usage across different setups
  • At 53 grams, the mouse is notably light, reducing fatigue during extended use
  • A DPI range from 50 to 40000 with adjustable steps allows precise sensitivity tuning for varied tasks
  • Battery life rated at 192 hours provides extended wireless use between charges
  • The ambidextrous shape accommodates both left- and right-handed users
  • Five programmable buttons allow a meaningful degree of input customization
Cons
  • The mouse cannot be used while charging, forcing downtime when the battery runs out
  • No wireless charging support means reliance solely on a wired cable for recharging
  • Stores no onboard memory profiles, so settings cannot be carried between devices without software
  • RGB lighting is absent, which limits visual customization options
  • The scroll wheel neither tilts nor has a thumb-operated variant, restricting scrolling functionality
  • A one-year warranty period offers limited long-term coverage
Who is this for?

The Attack Shark X1 is well-suited to users who frequently switch between devices or connection types, as its tri-mode connectivity via USB, 2.4GHz wireless, and Bluetooth 5.4 accommodates a range of setups with minimal friction. Its 53-gram weight and ambidextrous design make it a practical choice for both left- and right-handed users who spend long hours at a desk and prefer a low-fatigue peripheral. The generous 192-hour battery life also makes it a reasonable fit for users who want extended wireless use without frequently returning to a charging cable.

Who is this NOT for?

Users who require onboard memory profile storage to carry custom settings between systems will find this mouse limiting, as it stores no profiles independently of software. Those who prioritize an uninterrupted workflow may also be frustrated by the inability to use the mouse while it charges, which forces a complete pause in wireless use when the battery depletes. Additionally, users who rely on advanced scroll wheel functionality — such as horizontal tilting or thumb-operated scrolling — for tasks like wide spreadsheet navigation or content creation will find the basic scroll wheel insufficient for those needs.

Final Verdict
