Attack Shark X3 vs Cooler Master MM720: Comparison
Attack Shark X3 vs Cooler Master MM720 weight compared
The gap that matters here is weight: Attack Shark X3 59 g against Cooler Master MM720 49 g, which puts Cooler Master MM720 20% ahead. Sensor model is not the same on both, PixArt PAW3395, up to 26,000 DPI on the Attack Shark X3 versus PixArt PMW3389 on the Cooler Master MM720. They differ on connectivity too, Wireless , Wired on the Attack Shark X3 versus Wired on the Cooler Master MM720. There is a split on switch type as well, Optical on the Attack Shark X3 versus Mechanical on the Cooler Master MM720.
Who each one is for
Take the Attack Shark X3 for budget-conscious buyers who want a flagship-tier sensor without paying boutique brand pricing. This mouse delivers PAW3395 performance at a notably lower cost. It is not the one for buyers who want the highest available polling rate. The Lamzu Atlantis Mini Pro or ASUS ROG Keris II Ace, both covered elsewhere on this site, reach up to 8000Hz. The Cooler Master MM720 is the one to take for FPS players who want the lowest possible wired weight and claw and fingertip grip users wanting a small symmetrical shell, though it is not the pick for palm grip users wanting a fuller shell and anyone who wants a wireless connection. Our rating of the Cooler Master MM720 (8/10): one of the lightest wired mice on the market, backed by a genuinely flagship sensor rather than budget internals.
Where the two are identical
Where they agree, they agree completely, polling rate, grip type and shape included, so the decision does not turn on any of those.
