White Shark Dagonet Review – A Gaming Mouse for Younger Players? -

White Shark’s Dagonet is a wireless gaming mouse with a very distinctive design, a low weight and a price of around SEK 549–560 in Sweden.

With a weight of just 50 grams, six buttons and support for up to 12,000 DPI, the Dagonet offers the basic features most gamers would expect from a modern gaming mouse.

But after spending time with it, I think the most interesting question is not what the mouse offers on paper, but who it is actually designed for.

A distinctive design

The Dagonet immediately stands out thanks to its unusual design. It is flatter and somewhat narrower than a traditional gaming mouse, which gives it a very different feel in the hand.

For someone like me with fairly large hands, the shape was not particularly comfortable during longer sessions. However, I can see the design working much better for children, younger gamers and people with smaller hands.

The side buttons are well positioned and I did not accidentally press them during use, which is definitely a positive.

The open construction also looks cool, but it has a downside: it is likely to collect dust and dirt more easily. For a younger audience, I would personally have preferred a more enclosed design that is easier to keep clean.

The switches

The Dagonet uses mechanical switches with a fairly distinctive click.

The Blue Dot version is often described as being somewhat firmer than several other Huano variants, and that is noticeable when using the mouse.

The buttons require a fairly firm press. For an adult using the mouse for several hours, this can become tiring, particularly when working or gaming for extended periods.

However, I don’t necessarily see this as a negative for younger users. A firmer click can reduce accidental presses, which may be useful for children who are still developing their fine motor skills.

Wireless performance and battery

The Dagonet uses a 2.4 GHz wireless connection, and during testing it performed well enough for regular gaming.

It is not a mouse I would specifically choose for competitive esports, but for everyday gaming it works without any major issues.

The mouse features a 300 mAh battery. Based on the stated 10 mA power consumption, a simple theoretical calculation gives around 30 hours of battery life.

Actual battery life will vary depending on usage and settings, so around 30–40 hours is a more reasonable expectation.

The price

At around SEK 549–560, the Dagonet sits slightly above the 500 SEK mark.

The price is not unreasonable for a wireless gaming mouse, but I do think it is worth considering in relation to the target audience.

I have also seen what appears to be the same mouse sold under another brand for almost SEK 150 less. If it is indeed the same product, that makes the pricing of the White Shark version more difficult to justify.

Verdict

The White Shark Dagonet is an interesting gaming mouse with a design that clearly stands out from the crowd.

For adults with larger hands, the shape and firm switches may not be ideal for long sessions. But for younger gamers, roughly between 8 and 14 years old, the picture is different.

The lightweight design, smaller shape, firm clicks and wireless connectivity make it a potentially good fit for younger players who are still exploring different types of games rather than focusing on competitive esports.

My main question is therefore not whether the Dagonet works — it does — but whether White Shark is communicating clearly enough who this product is actually made for and why it costs what it does.

If you are looking for a lightweight wireless gaming mouse for a younger gamer, the Dagonet is certainly worth considering. For more experienced or competitive players, there are other options that may be better suited to their needs.
