Speedlink Decus Respec Gaming Mouse Review

Introduction

Finding the right gaming mouse is not easy, as there are countless options on the market, but with Speedlink having a reputation for packing lots of features into their products at affordable prices, they’re often a popular choice for the budget-conscious gamer. Their latest mouse takes their Decus gaming mouse and gives it a very welcome update, bringing it back to market as the Decus Respec with improved hardware, performance, lighting and more features that before, while still holding onto its wallet-friendly price tag.

“Maintain your focus and precision even in extended battles with the DECUS RESPEC Gaming Mouse and its huge array of customisation options. The configuration software allows you to customise the mouse to suit your preferences, letting you game the way you want and enabling the mouse to respond to your reflexes perfectly. Thanks to its integrated lighting system, the DECUS RESPEC bursts with colours that match the gaming atmosphere – becoming not just a visual highlight but also serving as a profile indicator. What’s more, its rubberised side grips, extra-grippy scroll wheel and extended finger indents offer maximum comfort.”
