![]() Feelįirst, the good stuff: both sticks feel precise, and return strongly to the centre. We tested the Quinox in Project Cars, Dark Souls III and Genital Jousting (an amusing but not-safe-for-work party game). Overall, we reckon the Quinox is one of the nicer third-party controllers we’ve seen. The OLED screen, for instance, seems a little bit lop-sided if you look at it closely. The build quality of the Quinox seems reasonably high - it doesn’t feel cheap by any stretch of the imagination, but at the same time it doesn’t feel quite as bulletproof as official controllers from either Microsoft or Sony. LEDs can be turned off by pressing the dial on the right side, using the d-pad to select ‘LED on’ or ‘LED off’, and pressing the right dial again to save. The limit is around ten inputs, which are recorded without delays - sadly, this means that complex combos (e.g. Macros work similarly select a macro profile, press the right dial to enter program mode, then hold down the key you want to set off the macro and enter your combination of keys. You can also adjust the trigger deadzones by entering program mode, pressing the trigger, and then adjusting with the d-pad. Press the right dial again to save your maps. Then, press and hold the programmable button you want to map, and press the button you want it to correspond to once. If profile is selected, you can press the right dial to enter program mode. Profiles and macros can be switched through by pressing the left dial, then using the d-pad to select profile (1 or 2), macro (1 or 2) or normal mode. You can adjust the sensitivity of the sticks by rotating the left or right dials settings range from -10 to +10 and make a noticeable difference. Here’s what’s possible: Configuration, profiles & macros You’ll also note there’s a small OLED display and two notched dials below the sticks, which allows you to configure the controller’s extra buttons, change stick sensitivity and other settings. The second switch is an on/off switch for vibration. One swaps between XInput and DirectInput - two different controller APIs - allowing you to get the gamepad detected in older games if the default setting doesn’t work. On the bottom of the controller, there are four additional triggers which can be set to act as any other button on the controller. The front of the controller has our triggers and shoulder buttons, as you would expect, plus two additional shoulder buttons on either side of the Micro USB port. Where the Xbox or guide button would be on the Xbox controller, there’s a similarly functional ‘swoosh’ button. The layout mirrors that of the Xbox 360 / Xbox One, with sticks in the upper left and lower right, a d-pad in the bottom left, and face buttons on the upper right. When connected up to your PC, multiple areas will light up with red LEDs: the area below the sticks, the centre swoosh and the face keys. The Speedlink Quinox is a handsome-looking controller with a gamer-friendly black and red colour scheme. Detachable USB cable (cable length: 2.4m, micro USB to USB). ![]()
