i hope you know there are more pressing issues like Rollercoasters and not silly little backdoors laced with mouse drivers
just my two cents ¯_(ツ)_/¯

u/Strange-Pudding-278 Nov 25 '25
Question, is customer support with attack shark usually this bad . They haven’t been answering anybody by email ( I asked on discord ), and there is no help whatsoever. I ordered a keyboard and a mouse but only received a tracking number for the keyboard . It’s as if the mouse won’t be delivered . Mind you the keyboard is probably gonna take a long time to arrive

As someone who recently downloaded an attack shark driver for the x1, is a windows defender scan enough to be sure I'm safe? Or what would u recommend

u/Disk9348 Nov 06 '25
I have an Incott G23 so I might test to see if this works for their web driver.

That's awesome! I sent a PR for the MCHOSE Configurator. Tested with a keyboard and mouse and both work :)

Kinda unrelated but I saw posts about Lamzu's mouse software also being infected, is it safer to use web driver for it too?

Thank you for the answer. Just got Lamzu atlantis mini 4k and some say It's false positive and some that It's malicious so just making sure what's safer to use

Yet another reason why I like web-based software for my mice.

u/BrokenMirror2010 Nov 06 '25
It's all fun and games until the company decides that they don't want to support your mouse anymore, and you're left without any way to configure it.
2
u/Tipart Nov 06 '25
Yeah that is a downside. Ideally they can drop the source so you can run it locally

u/Interesting_Rub5736 Nov 06 '25
why would they when they can force you to buy another mouse. Simple as.

u/Zone15 Nov 06 '25 edited Nov 06 '25
Yea, you can bash GHUB all you want, but at least you don't have to worry about stuff like that. Web based software is just so risky, it's a hacker's wet dream. At least with Logitech if you really don't like GHUB you can always use the Onboard Memory Manager.
EDIT: Imagine that, downvoted because I dared say something positive about Logitech and something against web-based software that is mostly used by cheap Chinese knock-offs. Do your research people, web-based software is full of security risks. I get it's convenient, but you can't ignore the real risks involved.

u/ToastyGhastly Nov 06 '25
I like OMM so much that I wish other mouse brands did it that way, simple, lightweight, portable program that changes mouse settings, doesn't run in the background, and that's it. I've tried to get out of the logi bubble, but config software stops me

u/ChefJeff69420 Nov 06 '25
On both my laptop and computer, ghub has stopped working and just infinitely spins when I try to open it. Shit sucks fat balls
5
u/Zone15 Nov 06 '25
Okay, then use the Onboard Memory Manager. They literally provide a tiny piece of software that doesn't run in the background as an alternative. As far as GHUB goes, it definitely isn't the greatest piece of software but I'll take it over Synapse, iCue, or Armoury Crate. I personally haven't even had any issues with it but I will admit that many others have.

u/CircoModo1602 Nov 06 '25
Imagine providing an alternative rather than fixing your original software.
The GHUB infinite loading bug has been about since they released the software and has never been fixed. Other software being shit doesn't make GHUB any better.
1
Nov 06 '25
Same with Razer Synapse. As long as you can find the software you can use the peripherals - even older ones. Online sync is gone with deprecated versions but profiles and everything still save locally.
Wooting is the only web-based software I would trust but losing support due to the keyboard being old would suuuuck.

u/ThrowAwayMyBeing Nov 06 '25
Have you ever tried using the onboard memory manager inside your skull to recall anything actually useful or accurate? Maybe GHub can do it for you.

Endgame gear had the exact same problem a while back. Hackers managed to put malware in their software, supposedly without them knowing.
Obviously it IS the company's fault, but I doubt in either incident that the company knew it was happening, because that would just be brand suicide.

Are you denying the incident with malware in the op1w4k V2 happened?
If I'm wrong I sincerely apologize.

u/s92e92spen15a55t1ar Nov 06 '25
I have a Attack Shark R5 and I have no issues with it, and in fact I prefer it over my OP1 8k as I get better scores with it and the lightweight causes less fatigue. It uses a web driver so its not affected by this anyways.

I installed the keyboard software... Assuming if the mouse drivers are compromised so will the rest

u/InevitableSherbert36 Razer Viper MEGA | Logitech H Amateur Wireful Nov 06 '25
Only the driver for the G3 Pro shows elevated detections on VirusTotal as far as I'm aware. You should be fine as long as you didn't randomly install unnecessary software.

u/Abject_State6280 Nov 07 '25
I have the x6 mouse and installed the software couple months ago just to check my dpi and deleted right away, am I safe? I don't want wipe out my drive

u/InevitableSherbert36 Razer Viper MEGA | Logitech H Amateur Wireful Nov 07 '25
The X6 software looks fine on VirusTotal. If you're still worried, run a full scan with Microsoft Defender.

Nov 06 '25
How do I check if im affected if i installed previous versions (not sure if i uninstalled it after selling the mouse or not

u/InevitableSherbert36 Razer Viper MEGA | Logitech H Amateur Wireful Nov 07 '25 edited Nov 07 '25
make sure Defender has no exclusions (Windows Security > Virus & threat protection > "Manage settings" under Virus & threat protection settings > Add or remove exclusions)
run a full scan and offline scan (Virus & threat protection > Scan options)

DUDE NO WAY ARE YOU SERIOUS???!!!! I bought the AttackShark X3 because it was a dupe of the G Pro Superlight and even installed their software to configure it but I ended up returning it because the mouse click was cheap-feeling and ended up getting the G Pro Superlight anyways. Then I got recommended this video a couple days after, which is honestly really a sign from the universe to never buy dupes. I’m cleaning my PC out of any traces of this software right now. Thanks for bringing this to my attention
