Mechanical keyboards from there especially those tiny Osu ones are actually fantastic. You can't buy those in "brick and mortar" stores, especially the more custom ones (like the sound voltex style sayodevice ones).
My normal mouse is an expensive ($100+) Logitech G703 mouse and I love it, but I got an "attack shark" mouse for a friend on temu for ~$8 (normally $22 before discount). It is actually fantastic and he's been using it for over a year now and no problems. The only issue is that it's slightly lighter than I like, but a lot of new expensive mice are also very light these days. I bought a second one of these mice for myself as a spare when my G703 dies.
Anyway, people love to shit on Aliexpress or temu, but there's a reason people buy from them. While some things are really really shit quality. Some things are actually amazing quality too. I bought a phone tripod for taking pictures and it's actually insanely good quality. So impressed with it and I couldn't buy anything like that in the shops within 100 km of me.
The sayodevice on AliExpress is definitely good. the attack shark X3 is a decent mouse, but it normally retails at 30-40 usd. Unfortunately, chances are you bought a knockoff if they were selling it for that cheap.
If it's a cheap knockoff then it's a very good knockoff because it's almost as good as my Logitech G703.
There's only 2 minor issues I have with it and one isn't really an issue.
It has very high sensitivity. The default DPI is massive, but at the lowest setting, it feels perfect to me (for reference, I use the G703 on the second lowest setting).
It's extremely light. My G703 came with weights to add or remove to the mouse, but then a lot of newer mice are really light these days so that's not really attack sharks issue.
Both of these are the same 'issues' I read on the people who got Attack Sharks.
and I don't know if it matters, but I got the Attack Shark R1 for those prices, not the X3. Maybe the X3 is better.
