2.4 Driver Software Installation
For full customization of DPI, polling rate, LOD (Lift-Off Distance), shortcuts, and macros, download and install the official ATTACK SHARK X3PRO driver software from the manufacturer's website. This software is compatible with Windows XP / VISTA / 7 / 8 / 10 / MAC operating systems.
3. Operating Instructions
3.1 DPI Adjustment
The mouse features a DPI button on its underside (refer to Image 2.1) to cycle through 6 adjustable DPI levels: 800, 1600, 2400, 3200, 5000, and 26000. The DPI indicator light will change color to reflect the current setting.
3.2 Polling Rate
The X3PRO offers advanced polling rates for enhanced responsiveness:
- 4K Polling Rate (Wireless): In 2.4GHz wireless mode, the mouse can achieve a 4000Hz polling rate, sending signals to the computer every 0.25ms.
- 8K Polling Rate (Wired): In wired USB-C mode, the mouse can achieve an 8000Hz polling rate, sending signals to the computer every 0.125ms.
Higher polling rates reduce input lag, providing a more immediate response. For optimal 4K/8K polling rate performance, an Intel Core i5 or higher CPU, AMD Ryzen 5 or higher CPU, and a USB 3.0 or higher port are recommended.

- Wired: Ensure the USB-C cable is firmly connected to both the mouse and the computer, and the mouse is switched to 'OFF' mode.
- Restart Computer: A system restart can often resolve connectivity issues.
5.2 DPI Not Changing
- Ensure you are pressing the correct DPI button on the underside of the mouse.
- If using custom DPI settings, verify they are correctly configured in the driver software.
5.3 Buttons Not Functioning Correctly
- Check if button assignments have been altered in the driver software. Reset to default if necessary.
- Ensure the mouse is clean and there is no physical obstruction preventing button presses.
