‘SpeedLink Kudos Z-9 Gaming Mouse’ Review

While I do enjoy console gaming, there is something about playing games on the PC that makes me keep on coming back. It also includes me doing crazy things like owning Overwatch on PlayStation 4 and PC. To truly get the most out of a game like that though, you need a good gaming mouse. This was why I decided to review the SpeedLink Kudos Z-9 Gaming Mouse.

What makes a mouse like the SpeedLink Kudos Z-9  Gaming Mouse different from a normal mouse you may use on your PC is the accuracy that the device can provide. With a laser sensor it has a maximum resolution of 8,200 dpi. What is good about this being changeable though is that you can find the setting that best suits you.

An example of a situation where this was needed for me was with Overwatch. I put up the dpi setting to its maximum and went into the game. What I noticed straight away was the fact that the mouse was too responsive for what I needed. This also was probably because of the settings I had set in Overwatch’s options.

With a few changes made on the mouse itself with the provided buttons I was able to find the sweet spot which improved my game. The fact that the mouse can also be programmed for other games with setting changed on the fly means that I won’t have to continually change options to get it feeling right.

With the many settings of the mouse, not everything can be done on the device itself. This is why an application is provided so that options can be set. A nice touch for the mouse though is the fact that there are light meters that show the sensitivity of the mouse on the device itself. That is a nice feature, that isn’t really needed but is still a nice touch for somebody like me who likes to have a flashy mouse that shows off it is something special.

Ignoring the flashy aspects of the mouse, the point is that this is a gaming mouse. One thing that did affect me as a left-handed person is the fact that the mouse I tested is shaped for a right-handed person. Luckily, when I play I do tend to play with my right hand. When I do other work on my computer though I tend to use my left hand. I found that although the mouse felt weird at first, I did get used to it and was able to use it with both left and right hands when needed.

When playing games, I found the mouse to respond very well, especially with Overwatch. I never found the mouse holding me back during the game and never had any lag between hitting the mouse button and firing my weapon on the screen. This is obviously important when playing an online game like Overwatch. I also tested a few other games and enjoyed the use of the mouse just as much.

To get the most out of PC gaming you really do need a good mouse and gaming keyboard. Having tested the SpeedLink Kudos Z-9 Gaming Mouse I found that it met my needs and improved my playing experience. With this in mind, this is why I find it easy to recommend the SpeedLink Kudos Z-9 Gaming Mouse for anybody looking for a good gaming mouse.
