The Attack Shark Mega B2 has just had its first public airing, and it looks like the company wants it to sit right alongside Logitech’s most talked-about gaming mouse. Attack Shark teased the new model on social media rather than through a full launch, but the short post carried enough detail to suggest the Mega B2 will be aimed squarely at the Logitech G Pro X2 Superstrike and its unusual switch technology.

What Attack Shark Has Revealed So Far
Attack Shark’s teaser arrived as a single image shared on its official X account, accompanied by a short line of text: “No metal. No fatigue. No friction.” There’s no mention yet of pricing, release timing, sensor specifications, or even a full product render. This is very much an early tease rather than a launch, and Attack Shark hasn’t confirmed exactly when a fuller reveal will land.
What the wording does strongly imply is the switch design underneath the shell. The phrase suggests there’s no physical metal contact happening when a button is pressed, which points toward a fully contactless mechanism rather than a conventional switch with a metal leaf inside it. That’s a meaningful claim, because it would put the Mega B2 in a very small club of mice built this way.
Why Contactless Switches Are the Big Deal Here
Most gaming mice, even the newer wave of Hall effect models, still rely on a traditional mechanical click leaf to generate the audible click and tactile snap players expect. The Hall effect or magnetic sensor sits alongside that leaf, reading how far the button travels so software can offer adjustable actuation points. It’s a hybrid approach: analogue input layered on top of an otherwise conventional switch.
Logitech’s G Pro X2 Superstrike reportedly goes further, using its HITS switch design to detect presses without that physical leaf doing the heavy lifting, which removes a common source of mechanical wear and the dreaded double-click fault that plagues ageing mice. If Attack Shark’s teaser is accurate, the Mega B2 would follow the same philosophy rather than simply bolting a magnetic sensor onto a standard switch. That would make it one of the only mice outside Logitech’s own lineup to genuinely commit to a contact-free design, rather than an analogue-flavoured version of the same old mechanism.
For players, the practical upside is fewer worn-out switches over years of clicking, more consistent actuation, and the ability to fine-tune sensitivity for specific games without waiting on a mechanical part to physically travel.
A Crowded Field Chasing the Same Idea
Attack Shark isn’t the first brand to chase what Logitech started. Keychron’s G6 HE arrived earlier as a wireless Hall effect mouse with a swappable battery and open-source firmware, while RAWM’s Leviathan V4 GT pitched magnetic switches at a noticeably lower price point. Both are genuinely interesting alternatives, but neither has claimed to ditch physical contact inside the switch entirely, at least not in the way Attack Shark’s teaser hints at.
That distinction matters for anyone comparing options. A mouse with Hall effect sensing but a conventional leaf still offers adjustable actuation and rapid trigger features, which is a real upgrade over a purely mechanical switch. But it doesn’t necessarily solve the long-term wear issue the same way a fully contactless design might. If Attack Shark can back up its teaser with a working product, the Mega B2 would stand apart from that crowd rather than simply joining it.
What This Means for Buyers Waiting to Decide
It’s worth being clear about what’s confirmed and what isn’t. Attack Shark has shown a single teaser image and a slogan, nothing more. There’s no release window, no pricing, no sensor details, and no independent testing to confirm the “no friction” claim holds up in practice. Anyone weighing up a purchase right now should treat the Mega B2 as an early promise rather than a finished product.
Attack Shark already has form in the Hall effect space, having built keyboards like its R86 HE magnetic switch keyboard, so the brand isn’t new to magnetic sensing technology generally. That track record gives some reason for cautious optimism about the Mega B2, even without hard specifications yet.
For gamers currently deciding between existing options, mice like the Logitech G Pro X Superlight 2 Dex and the G Pro X2 Superstrike remain proven, tested choices today. The Mega B2 is one to watch rather than one to wait for just yet, and a fuller reveal from Attack Shark should clarify whether the contactless claim is real engineering or just clever marketing language.
