6. Maintenance

6.1 Cleaning

  • Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe the mouse surface.
  • For stubborn dirt, slightly dampen the cloth with water or a mild cleaning solution.
  • Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials that could damage the ice-cool coating.
  • Regularly clean the optical sensor area on the bottom of the mouse with a cotton swab to ensure optimal tracking.

6.2 Battery Care

  • Avoid fully discharging the battery frequently.
  • Charge the mouse when the battery indicator is low.
  • If storing the mouse for an extended period, charge it to about 50% and store in a cool, dry place.

6.3 Firmware Updates

Periodically check the official Attack Shark website for firmware updates. Firmware updates can improve performance, add new features, or fix bugs. Follow the instructions provided with the firmware update carefully.

7. Troubleshooting

  • Mouse not responding: Ensure the mouse is charged and the mode switch is set correctly (2.4G, BT, or OFF for wired). Try reconnecting the receiver or re-pairing Bluetooth.
  • Lag or intermittent connection: Move the 2.4GHz receiver closer to the mouse. Ensure there are no strong interfering wireless signals (e.g., Wi-Fi routers, other wireless devices).
  • Tracking issues: Clean the optical sensor on the bottom of the mouse. Ensure you are using the mouse on a suitable surface (a mouse pad is recommended).
  • DPI not changing: Ensure the mouse is powered on. If using software, verify settings are applied.
  • Software not detecting mouse: Ensure the mouse is connected to the computer (preferably wired or 2.4GHz) and the software is up to date. Try restarting your computer.

8. User Tips

  • Optimize Polling Rate: For competitive gaming, use the 2.4GHz wireless mode with the 8K receiver to take full advantage of the 8000Hz polling rate.
  • Customization: Utilize the intelligent cloud software to fine-tune DPI stages, button assignments, and macros to suit your specific gaming style and applications.
  • Ergonomics: The V5 is designed for medium to large hands. Experiment with different grip styles (palm, claw, fingertip) to find what feels most comfortable and provides the best control for you.
  • Surface Choice: While the PAW3950MAX sensor is highly versatile, a good quality gaming mouse pad will always provide the most consistent and accurate tracking.
