SpeedLink Quinox Gamepad Review

The SpeedLink Quinox ships in a colourful box. A large image of the gamepad itself dominates the front of box, while on the back we find multilingual specifications.

Inside, there are two manuals – one is a quick-install guide, while the other is an ‘info guide' which includes all the necessary warranty details.

From the front, the Quinox does not look so different from a typical gamepad. There are some red accents, but it features the standard 2x analog sticks, a 4-way D-pad, as well as the ABXY buttons to the right of the controller.

However, the Quinox offers more elsewhere. On the back we find 4 additional buttons, ergonomically positioned so your fingers rest on top of them when gripping the controller.

Just below these 4 buttons we also find 2 switches – one is an on/off switch for the gamepad's vibrate function, while the other lets you switch between XInput and DirectInput modes.

At the front of the controller there is also some extra functionality. Two small flick switches (pictured above, left) are used to customise the gamepad to your liking – something we look at in more detail on the next page.

There is also an OLED display positioned centrally on the Quinox. This acts as an OSD when configuring settings such as analog sensitivity, which will hopefully make adjusting things easier if you are in-game.

Lastly, the Quinox comes with a 2.4m braided USB cable, which is also detachable – something I also like to see.

  1. In an era of RGB lighting, I’m amazed the lighting is static red.

  2. I recently picked up a Steam Controller and hard case for £27 in a Christmas sale and I’ve persevered with it and I’m definitely swaying towards the darkside. It’s hard work to start with but stick with it and I mean a good month of solid use and it opens up a whole world of possibilities, Elite Dangerous for example all from one pad with buttons to spare is awesome. Plus regular stuff like Rocket League is super responsive.

  3. Google is paying 97$ per hour! Work for few hours and have longer with friends & family! !mj198d:

  4. Thank goodness for that. Who would want a flashing controller in their hand while trying to play the game it would be distracting I am sure.

  5. Who said anything about flashing? And it’s hardly like the RGB range from Ducky and Corsair are considered “distracting”…

  6. Maybe it is just me but a pulsing light in my hand would be distracting. Then again like most other RGB stuff you probably have the option to turn it off so problem solved for those that don’t want or like it.

  7. I have profited $104k in last twelve months by working on-line from home a­­n­­d I was able to do it by wor­king in my own time f­o­r 3 or sometimes more hrs each day. I followed a money making opportunity I came across online and I am excited that i was able to make such great money. It’s user-friendly and I’m so grateful that i found it.
