Attack Shark X11 vs R1: Which Mouse to Buy in Kuwait

If you want the lightest, cheapest tri-mode mouse with a proper driver, buy the Attack Shark R1 (10 KD). If you want a mouse that sits on a lit-up magnetic charging dock and never needs a cable plugged in, spend 1 KD more on the Attack Shark X11 (11 KD). Both use the same PixArt PAW3311 sensor, so the choice comes down to shape, weight and charging. Here is the full breakdown for Kuwait buyers.

Attack Shark X11 vs R1 at a glance

All specs below are taken from the Gallexa product pages. Prices are in Kuwaiti dinar, price at time of writing.

Same sensor, so what actually differs?

Both mice run the PixArt PAW3311, a modern optical sensor built for budget and mid-range wireless mice. Tracking feel will be very close between the two. The headline DPI numbers (22,000 on the X11, 18,000 on the R1) look like a big gap on paper, but almost nobody games above 3,200 DPI. Most FPS players in Kuwait sit between 400 and 1,600 DPI and adjust in-game sensitivity instead. Do not let the bigger DPI figure decide this for you.

Polling rate is the same too: both top out at 1000 Hz, which is the standard for esports-level wireless play. If you are wondering whether you need more than that, our guide Is 8K Polling Worth It on a Gaming Mouse? explains when 8000 Hz matters and when it doesn’t.

The real differences are three things: the charging dock, the weight and shape, and software support.

1. Charging: magnetic dock vs cable

This is the X11’s main selling point. It comes with a magnetic charging base that has RGB lighting and tap-touch mode switching. You set the mouse down at the end of the night and it charges, so you never hunt for a USB-C cable. The dock also looks good on a desk, which matters if you film or stream your setup.

The R1 page does not list a dock. You charge it with a USB-C cable, and the same cable lets you play wired while it charges. With a listed battery life of up to 65 hours on both mice, plugging in once or twice a week is enough for most players, so this is a convenience feature rather than a must-have.

2. Weight and shape

The R1 is listed at 59 g ±3 g, the X11 at about 63 g ±3 g. A 4 g difference is small, but you can feel it in fast flick-heavy games like Valorant or CS2 if you are coming from a heavy office mouse. Both are firmly in the lightweight class.

The X11 is slightly longer (approx. 128 mm vs 123.5 mm) and the product page lists it as suitable for palm, claw and fingertip grip, with an optional grip-tape skin. The R1 is a touch shorter and taller. As a rough guide:

• Larger hands or relaxed palm grip: the longer X11 fills the hand better.
• Medium hands, claw or fingertip grip: the shorter, lighter R1 is the easier mouse to flick and lift.

3. Software and buttons

The R1 page lists official driver support from Attack Shark for DPI, polling rate (125–1000 Hz), macros, button remapping and multiple saved profiles, plus 6 buttons. If you like binding abilities or macros to side buttons, the R1 is the safer pick because its software features are documented.

The X11 pages mention programmable buttons and six colour-coded DPI presets, but the driver and the button count are not listed. If software matters to you, ask us before ordering and we’ll confirm what works. For general setup help, see our Attack Shark software guide.

Connectivity and battery: a tie

Both are true tri-mode mice: USB-C wired, 2.4 GHz wireless through the receiver, and Bluetooth 5.2. Use 2.4 GHz for gaming (lowest latency) and Bluetooth for a laptop or tablet when you don’t want to use up a USB port. The R1 page also lists a wireless range of up to 10 metres and compatibility with Windows, macOS, Android and Linux. The X11 page lists Windows and macOS.

Battery is identical on paper: 300 mAh and up to 65 hours. Real battery life drops if you keep RGB on or play at 1000 Hz all day, so treat 65 hours as a best case for either mouse.
