The Attack Shark X8, also marketed as the Attack Shark X8 SE, is an ambidextrous gaming mouse built around a lightweight design that weighs just 55 grams. It connects via three modes — wired USB, Bluetooth 5.4, and 2.4GHz wireless — and runs on a rechargeable battery rated for up to 192 hours of use, making it a versatile option for different setups and workflows.

Under the hood, the X8 uses a PixArt PAW3311 sensor capable of tracking up to 25,000 DPI, with a minimum setting of 800 DPI and adjustable increments in between. It reaches a maximum speed of 400 IPS and handles up to 40G of acceleration, polling at a standard 1000 Hz. The mouse features six buttons in total, all of which are programmable, including two side buttons and a dedicated DPI switching button. Its compact body measures 125.5 mm in length, 63 mm in width, and 40 mm in thickness, and it ships with a 1.8-meter cable for wired use.

Pros

Ambidextrous shape makes it usable for both left- and right-handed users
Tri-mode connectivity via USB, Bluetooth 5.4, and 2.4GHz wireless offers genuine flexibility across different setups
At 55 grams, the body is notably light for extended use sessions
Battery life is rated at 192 hours, reducing how often it needs to be recharged
All 6 buttons are programmable, giving users full control over button assignments
DPI can be adjusted across a wide range from 800 up to 25,000, covering a broad spectrum of sensitivity needs

Cons

Cannot be used while charging, which interrupts wireless use when the battery runs low
No wireless charging support means the cable must be physically connected to recharge
Lacks onboard memory profiles, so settings cannot be stored directly on the mouse
No RGB lighting for users who prefer illuminated peripherals
Does not include a tilting or thumb scroll wheel, limiting scrolling versatility
No profile switching button, making it harder to switch between saved configurations on the fly

Who is this for?

This mouse is well-suited to users who frequently switch between devices or connection types, as its support for USB, Bluetooth 5.4, and 2.4GHz wireless makes it adaptable to both desktop and mobile setups. Its ambidextrous shape and 55-gram body make it a practical choice for left- and right-handed users alike who prefer a lightweight form factor during long sessions. The 192-hour battery life also makes it a reliable pick for those who want to minimize interruptions from frequent recharging.

Who is this NOT for?

Users who rely on onboard memory profiles to store and carry their settings between different machines will find this mouse limiting, as it stores no profiles on-board. Those who cannot use the mouse while it charges may find the lack of pass-through charging support disruptive during long sessions, particularly in wireless modes. Additionally, users who prefer a scroll wheel with tilting or thumb-scroll functionality for horizontal navigation will find the mouse's scrolling options insufficient for those workflows.
