Most computer games in the last few years are multiplatform, ie available not only for PCs but for consoles – respectively, they maintain control with a gamepad, in fact – in some cases, this option is even more convenient than the traditional PC combination of “keyboard + mouse.” This means that computer gamers should get a new Controller Speedlink Quinox Pro.
EQUIPMENT: CONTROLLER SPEEDLINK QUINOX PRO
Speedlink Quinox Pro USB Gamepad comes in a relatively small box, where you can find yourself a gamepad, USB-cable, and the installation and operation.
CONNECTION: CONTROLLER QUINOX PRO
The gamepad is wired, connected to a PC via USB. Pre-need to install driver software (downloaded from the official website), and then connect the Gamepad.
GETTING STARTED: CONTROLLER SPEEDLINK QUINOX PRO
Controller Speedlink Quinox Pro USB Gamepad supports not only modern API XInput but already outdated DirectInput, needed for older games. Switching between them is carried out using a small lever with the notation X and D on the back of the controller, while Windows detects a gamepad or Xbox 360 Controller for Windows, or Quinox USB Gamepad.
Software for setting up in a gamepad is not, all the procedures for creating new profiles and macros are executed on the controller by means of special “controls” – the two wheels on the edge between the “horns”, with information about the current time and made the settings displayed on the small screen over them (by default it glows name of the manufacturer). You can assign functions to the buttons on the main extra, to change the sensitivity of the analog sticks and triggers, turn off the backlighting, and record macros – sequences of clicks main buttons, D-Pad, and flip-flops.
DESIGN AND ERGONOMICS: CONTROLLER SPEEDLINK QUINOX PRO
The shape Controller Speedlink Quinox Pro USB Gamepad is almost an exact copy of the Microsoft Xbox One Controller – differences, for the most part, consist of slightly other decorative lines on the body, the other surface texture and, of course, additional buttons.
..a well as that of the gamepad Speedlink – wired. USB-cable looks impressive – a thick, braided in a tissue, and is quite flexible so that his presence in the game prevents the user is minimal. micro-USB connector is located in a recess – it is a latch that secures the cable connected to the controller with a special “attachment”; Thanks to this solution accidentally pull the cable will not work – force on the disconnect must be applied fairly noticeable.
Surface Controller Speedlink Quinox Pro mostly matte, except bars on the sides, which are glossy. In normal grip, these inserts do not interfere so that the gamepad is normally in the hands and does not slip. Hats rubberized analog sticks, sticks themselves quite tight, with a good sense of positioning.
The letter keys are pressed gently with a little blurry “click”. The digital D-Pad good, with slight pressure, with arrows here, unlike whole “crosses” from Microsoft controllers are four separate buttons, which facilitates their rapid depression, for example, a fighting game. Analog triggers under the index finger a little tight and with a small “shoulder”.
Location of all main buttons – classic, similar to Microsoft controllers (which are, in fact, the standard for XInput-gamepads), form – also, so that the questions to ergonomics, there does not arise, since the design can be said to have stood the test of time. Own “trick” Speedlink Quinox Pro USB Gamepad are six additional programmable buttons: two are located on the sides of the connected USB-cable, four – in the form of a sort of “petals” from the bottom of the controller. Four bottom lies exactly under the middle and ring fingers, and drag anywhere to click on them, it is not necessary – in fact, in some cases even pushing them more comfortable than on the basic “letter” buttons.
RESULTS: CONTROLLER SPEEDLINK QUINOX PRO
Controller Speedlink Quinox Pro USB Gamepad follows the shape and location of the main controller controls Xbox One, and it is really good. Support DirectInput at the moment – rather just a nice bonus, as it will be in demand only in the games over 10 years. Connecting via USB, though, in general, and is less convenient than wireless, winning the latter in terms of reliability and minimum communication delays input. In addition, the Controller from Speedlink has a trump card – programmable keys and the ability to record macros.
