4.2 Programmable Buttons

The mouse has 5 programmable buttons. To customize these buttons, including setting DPI, polling rate, Lift-Off Distance (LOD), shortcuts, and macros, you will need to download and install the official ATTACK SHARK driver software. Refer to the official ATTACK SHARK website for software downloads.

4.3 Mode Switching

Use the physical switch on the bottom of the mouse to easily switch between 2.4G wireless, Bluetooth, and wired modes as needed for different devices or scenarios.

5. Maintenance

5.1 Cleaning

To maintain optimal performance, regularly clean your mouse. Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe the surface. For stubborn dirt, a slightly damp cloth can be used, but ensure no moisture enters the internal components. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.

5.2 Storage

When not in use, store the mouse in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. If storing for an extended period, ensure the mouse is fully charged to preserve battery health.

6. Troubleshooting

• Mouse not responding:
  • Ensure the mouse is charged.
  • Check the mode switch on the bottom of the mouse to ensure it's set to the correct connection type (2.4G, BT, or Wired).
  • For 2.4G mode, ensure the USB receiver is securely plugged into a working USB port.
  • For Bluetooth mode, verify that Bluetooth is enabled on your device and the mouse is paired. Try re-pairing if necessary.
  • Try connecting the mouse in wired mode to see if it functions.
• Lag or intermittent disconnections:
  • Ensure the mouse is fully charged. Low battery can affect wireless performance.
  • Reduce interference by moving other wireless devices away from the mouse and receiver.
  • For 2.4G, try plugging the receiver into a different USB port, preferably a USB 2.0 port or one closer to the mouse.
  • Update your computer's Bluetooth drivers if using Bluetooth mode.
  • If using on macOS, some users report lag after waking from sleep; turning the mouse off and on again may resolve this.
• Scroll wheel issues (slow, unresponsive):
  • Ensure the mouse is clean, especially around the scroll wheel mechanism.
  • Check for driver updates or recalibration options within the ATTACK SHARK software.
• Buttons are hard to press or loud:
  • This is often a characteristic of the Kailh GM8.0 switches, known for their tactile feedback. If you suspect a defect, contact support.
