This worked immediately after plugging it into my PC and didn't require any driver updates. However, the product page says that it has a customizable driver that you can get, which will give you more options when using this device.
Firstly, I'd like to point out that the Attack Shark V3 mouse most definitely draws inspiration from the 2019 Razor Deathadder Essential, so I'll be making some comparisons between the two here. This mouse, the Attack Shark V3, was released in mid-2025 and features many new advantages if you're looking to upgrade. From an ergonomic perspective, they're basically the same size and shape, and both have 5 buttons. They're both in the same price range. However, that's where the similarities end.
The side buttons on the V3 are positioned better, especially the rear of the side buttons, which is noticeably easier to use. The side buttons project out slightly more and also have better actuation so they're hands down easier to click and spam-click.
The V3 does have wireless capabilities and is still lighter than the Essential. When used in wired mode, the V3 offers a port on the front of the mouse for plug and play and easy replacement of worn-out cables. The Essential is hard wired only. The usb-c to usb-a cable that is included with the V3 is maybe not great, but that's pretty typical. It is very flexible, but it doesn't seem like it would be very durable.
When used wirelessly, there's a switch on the bottom of the V3 to select the mode. With bluetooth (BT) selected, it will try to pair immediately. Select Bluetooth devices and "Add device," and it shows up as "V3 Mouse." You may have to use your old mouse to configure its replacement.
The V3 has a button on the bottom that will change the dpi and an indicator light so you know which level it is set at. It has 6 options for sensitivity. I find that switching this during gameplay is disorienting, and on the upper range, it's overkill. What I found was that after setting the dpi higher, I was able to reduce the in-game options sensitivity to very low. This had the result of making the aim feel very smooth while still being quick and responsive.
Attack Shark offers grip tape for their mouse products, and this comes on a sheet similar to vinyl decals or stickers. So, the end user is responsible for putting these on the device. I find that they're more forgiving than I expected, and it wasn't very difficult to get them straight. It adds an aesthetic to the product that is rare and has the aura of custom-made.
The only downside to this mouse that I noticed was that there's slightly more drag from the new bottom pads on my desk and even with a mouse pad. It may be that it hasn't been polished enough from use, and there's a breaking in period. These wear pads are replaceable, and it comes with a spare set.
Pros: 3 modes (1 wired and 2 wireless). Lightweight. Fancy grip tape. Available in Pink! Adjustable dpi. Customizable driver.
Cons: Slide pads friction.
