Operating the Mouse
1. Power On/Off and Mode Switching
The tri-mode switch on the bottom of the mouse controls both power and connection mode. Slide it to the desired position (BT, 2.4G, or OFF) to power on/off or switch modes.
2. DPI Adjustment
The DPI (Dots Per Inch) button on the bottom of the mouse allows you to cycle through different sensitivity levels. Each press will change the DPI setting, indicated by a specific color or light pattern (refer to the cloud driver for exact mappings).

3. Cloud Driver Software (Customization)
The ATTACK SHARK R3 features an innovative cloud-driven webpage for customization. This eliminates the need for traditional software downloads and installations. Simply access the open-source driver via a web browser to:
- Adjust DPI settings and polling rate.
- Customize button functions and key mapping.
- Create and record macros.
- Configure competitive modes and other advanced functions.
The cloud driver automatically identifies your computer system for seamless setup. For detailed instructions on using the cloud driver, please refer to the official ATTACK SHARK website or the driver interface itself.

4. 8000Hz Wireless Polling Rate
The R3 mouse supports an 8000Hz wireless polling rate, significantly reducing response time from 1ms (at 1000Hz) to as low as 0.125ms. This results in more responsive cursor movements and faster trigger responses, crucial for competitive gaming. This high polling rate is achieved using the traditional Nano receiver.

Maintenance
- Cleaning: Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe the mouse. For stubborn dirt, slightly dampen the cloth with water. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
- Sensor Care: Keep the optical sensor on the bottom of the mouse clean and free of dust or debris to ensure optimal tracking performance.
- Battery Care: To prolong battery life, avoid fully discharging the mouse frequently. Charge it when the battery indicator is low. If storing for an extended period, charge it to about 50% and store in a cool, dry place.
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Mouse not responding (Wireless) | Low battery, receiver unplugged, incorrect mode, pairing issue. | Charge the mouse. Ensure the 2.4Ghz receiver is securely plugged in or Bluetooth is paired. Check the tri-mode switch position. Re-pair the mouse if necessary (hold Left/Right/Center buttons for 3s). |
| Mouse not responding (Wired) | Cable not connected properly, faulty USB port. | Ensure USB-C cable is securely connected to both mouse and computer. Try a different USB port. |
| Cursor movement is erratic or jumpy | Dirty optical sensor, unsuitable surface, high polling rate causing issues on some systems. | Clean the optical sensor. Use a clean, uniform mouse pad. If using 8000Hz polling rate, try reducing it to 1000Hz via the cloud driver to see if system compatibility is an issue. |
| Buttons double-clicking or not registering | Switch wear, sensitivity setting. | Access the cloud driver software and navigate to "Other Setting" under the mouse tab. Lower the "key sensitivity" (e.g., to -7) to mitigate unintended double clicks. If the issue persists, contact customer support. |
| Cannot access Cloud Driver | Internet connectivity, browser issues, incorrect URL. | Ensure you have an active internet connection. Try a different web browser. Verify the correct URL for the ATTACK SHARK cloud driver (usually found on the product packaging or official website). |
