Are We Overpaying for Gaming Mice??
After using the Attack Shark X3 for the past few months one question keeps coming up. How is this mouse so cheap? This is a brand most people have never heard of yet it uses premium components like the PixArt 3395 sensor and Kailh Black Mamba switches.
On paper the Attack Shark X3 looks like it should compete with mice such as the Logitech GPX Superlight 2 at roughly one quarter of the price. That raises real questions about pricing branding and what gamers are actually paying for.
In this review I break down the build quality performance and real world usage of the Attack Shark X3 to see how it compares to major gaming mouse brands and what its low price says about the current gaming mouse market.

Gaming peripherals have become a consumerist hellscape.
No, you don’t need a 4k/8k sensor. Your CPU is gonna shit itself and 1kHz polling is still the standard for most game engines.
No, you don’t need $100+ IEMs. Stick with the current earbuds or headphones you got. Maybe download an equalizer if you need to, and learn the games audio cues.
You can still make it to high elo on 1080p 144Hz.
Sleeves are only useful on hybrid, or hard pads.
The only mainstream peripheral I’ll ever vouch for is Wooting. (Even then, you’ll still find close HE competitors.)
Glad there’s chinese manufacturers that are producing at REASONABLE prices.
I 100% agree with everything he said, I stopped paying “big” names
tbh idgaf if a mouse is a knockoff as long as its good and cheap im always gonna buy it over something like logitech and razer
Ye we are getting ripped off but it’s like clothing you are paying for the brand the mouse is the same you pay for the brand
Great videos
