Attack Shark has introduced the R5 Turbo, a wireless gaming mouse that brings 8,000 Hz polling to both wired and wireless modes. This update matters because it removes the traditional performance gap between connection types for users who prioritize low latency. Buyers who switch between setups or prefer clean desks can now access top-tier responsiveness without sacrificing mobility.
New mouse removes performance gap between wired and wireless connections
The device relies on a Nordic nRF54LM20 controller to manage the high-frequency data transmission. Attack Shark paired this processor with Omron optical switches rated for over 100 million clicks to handle the increased signal load. The company claims this setup achieves wireless click latency as low as 0.168 milliseconds, though this figure comes from internal testing.
Specifications
- Polling Rate: 8,000 Hz (wired and wireless)
- Weight: 43 grams (±3 g)
- Sensor: PixArt PAW3950MAX
- Max DPI: 60,000
- Tracking Speed: 750 IPS
At the core of the sensor suite sits the PixArt PAW3950MAX, which supports up to 60,000 DPI. The mouse tracks movement at 750 inches per second with 60G acceleration to keep the cursor precise during fast movements. The entire assembly rests in an injection-molded carbon-fiber composite housing that weighs approximately 43 grams.
Attack Shark equipped the R5 Turbo with a 290 mAh battery to power the wireless functionality. The company states the battery lasts up to 300 hours, but that figure applies specifically to 1,000 Hz polling rather than the maximum 8K setting. Connectivity options include USB, 2.4 GHz wireless, and Bluetooth to support various user preferences.
The R5 Turbo becomes available globally on October 23 in Black, White, and Dune colors. Pricing details have not yet been released by the vendor. Pricing details are not yet available and will be added when the manufacturer releases them.
