Verdict

The Attack Shark R5 Ultra is an ultra-lightweight gaming mouse featuring a durable injection-molded carbon fiber shell and a hollowed-out hole design, weighing approximately 39g to 43g. It is equipped with the high-end PixArt PAW3950MAX sensor offering up to 42,000 DPI, 750 IPS tracking, and 50G acceleration, powered by a Nordic 52840 chip that supports an 8000Hz wireless polling rate. Key pros include its exceptional strength-to-weight ratio, tri-mode connectivity (2.4GHz, Bluetooth 5.1, and USB-C), 100-million-click Omron mechanical switches, and a driverless web-based customization tool. Notable cons involve reported marketing discrepancies where mechanical switches were used instead of the advertised optical ones, a slippery coating that may require the included grip tape, and potential discomfort from the side hole patterns during long sessions.
