Reviews last updated: November 2026 · How we calculate this

What customers like about Attack Shark X5

  • Extremely lightweight at approximately 49g, making it easy to move quickly
  • Versatile tri-mode connectivity (Bluetooth 5.1, 2.4GHz wireless, and USB-C wired)
  • Comfortable ergonomic shape suitable for long office or gaming sessions
  • Aesthetically pleasing honeycomb RGB lighting on the main buttons
  • Budget-friendly price point compared to major brand wireless mice
  • Long battery life (advertised up to 200 hours with lights off)

What customers don't like about Attack Shark X5

  • Underpowered PAW3212 sensor is prone to spinning out or losing connection during fast movements
  • Lack of official software makes it impossible to remap buttons or customize RGB settings
  • Frequent reports of connectivity issues, including Bluetooth failure after short-term use
  • Thin shell and overall build quality can feel 'cheap' or fragile to some users
  • No visual indicator to show which DPI setting is currently active
  • Noticeable electrical whine reported by some users during operation
  • Scratchy stock mouse feet (skates) that may require replacement for smoother glide

Verdict

The Attack Shark X5 is an ultra-lightweight gaming mouse weighing approximately 49g, featuring a PixArt PAW3212 optical sensor with five adjustable DPI levels ranging from 800 to 4,000. It offers versatile tri-mode connectivity (2.4GHz wireless, Bluetooth 5.0, and USB-C wired) and an ergonomic symmetrical design with distinct honeycomb RGB lighting on the main clicks. Key pros include its exceptional portability, long-lasting 300mAh battery providing up to 200 hours of use (with lights off), and broad compatibility across Windows, Mac, and mobile platforms. However, notable cons include its entry-level sensor which has a low tracking speed of 30 IPS and 10G acceleration, making it prone to 'spinning out' during high-speed competitive play, alongside a lack of dedicated software for button remapping and reports of a cheap-feeling plastic build.
