It also has a very high sensor sensitivity and LED lighting

Gaming mice can cover a broad range of specs and features, so we can have simple-looking models with very high precision and very elaborate designs that are lacking in areas besides design. Usually, though, lack of price concerns means that companies provide the best they can all around.

No to say that peripheral makers can go all that far beyond the pale when they create a high-end product. However, the high-end market is usually defined by customers who have enough money that the price isn't a primary concern.

That's why the tag slapped on the Speedlink Kudos Z-9 probably won't have much bearing on the appeal of the peripheral, except if compared with that of alternative options.

Alas, we don't know what price the company intends for the product to bear, so we can only speculate on that last part.

The Speedlink Kudos Z-9 gaming mouse

As the picture gallery will show, the outfit chose a right-handed design for it, since most gamers are right-handed, like most people in general.

Since this is a professional gaming mouse, Speedlink provided the best it had in terms of sensitivity and accuracy. Otherwise, no one would risk it hampering their gameplay ability during contests or LAN parties.

Thus, the Kudos Z-9 possesses an ultra-precise laser sensor with configurable sensitivity levels from 50 to 8,200dpi. The lowest setting is a lot lower, in fact, than for many other mice.

The buttons, nine in all, should be totally unaffected by lag, and that goes for the 4-way red illuminated scroll wheel as well.

Speaking of illumination, the mouse may have a red scroll light, and it might be colored red on black as well, but the profile indicator strip can be set to any of 64 colors.

That way, you can always keep track of your profiles and know which one is activated at any time. No point in having that internal memory and macros storage capacity, with individual key profiles, if you never know which set is on at a given time.

Finally, the Speedlink Kudos Z-9 mouse has a flexible, sheathed USB cable with a length of 1.8 meters / 5.90 feet.

Availability and pricing

As we said before, the price is unknown. Likewise, an ETA was not included in the press release. That might just mean that retailers will list the Speedlink Kudos Z-9 any day now. It should definitely appear in the list if you're browsing for a Christmas peripheral.
