Set up your Attack Shark X87 tri-mode gasket mechanical keyboard in minutes. This guide covers pairing, switching modes, and troubleshooting common issues.

Quick answer

Set up your Attack Shark X87 by choosing your connection mode, pairing with your device, and verifying the connection. This guide walks you through each step.

Choosing the right connection mode

The X87 supports three modes: Bluetooth, 2.4G wireless, and wired USB. Bluetooth is best for mobile devices or laptops without USB-A ports. 2.4G offers lower latency for gaming on a PC or tablet. Wired mode is the most reliable and charges the keyboard simultaneously.

Switch modes using the side toggle or the FN+1/2/3/4 shortcuts. Note that the 2.4G receiver must be plugged into a USB-A port on your device.

Step-by-step setup

  1. 1. Unbox and charge: Remove the keyboard and charging cable. Connect the cable to a USB power source and let it charge for at least 2 hours before first use. The LED indicator will turn solid when fully charged. A common mistake is skipping the initial charge, which can cause the keyboard to disconnect mid-use.
  2. 2. Choose your mode and pair: For Bluetooth: press FN+1 to enter pairing mode, then select 'Attack Shark X87' on your device. For 2.4G: plug the included receiver into a USB-A port, then press FN+2. For wired: connect the cable directly to your device's USB port. If the keyboard doesn't appear in your Bluetooth list, hold FN+1 for 5 seconds to force re-pairing.
  3. 3. Verify the connection: Open a text editor or game and type a few characters. Check that all keys respond without delay. If you notice lag or missed keystrokes, switch to wired mode or move the 2.4G receiver closer to the keyboard. For the lowest latency in gaming, always prefer wired or 2.4G mode over Bluetooth.
