Pros:

  • Comfy headband and cups
  • Sturdy design
  • Tough but sleek cable
  • Music is amazing through this headset
  • Lots of customisability options
  • Lots of volume room
  • The comfort didn’t change with long wear

Cons:

  • The software is a bit un-intuitive
  • There’s a small wiggle on the mic socket
  • It only has USB compatibility
  • Only has PC OS compatibility
  • Slight bit of pressure on head with that slight squeezing effect.

KitGuru says: Overall we think that this headset sounds better than some top end headsets.  The Viper V380 is amazing at delivering bass and volume but is certainly no slouch whilst gaming too. There is great level of customisation so you can tweak the sounds to match your desired sound profile as well lots of fun stuff like the RGB and voice changer. If you're after a new headset, definitely check this one out.

So far, Patriot has proven itself as a contender in the high-end peripheral market with its flagship V570 mouse and V770 keyboard offering feature-packed additions to its line-up. The V730 keyboard instead fills the mid-range portion of its Viper range, offering mechanical switches for a competitive price, but can Patriot stack up against established brands in the lower end market?

Despite its relatively low cost of £70/$80, Patriot assures fans that the V730 is, in fact, the perfect starter mechanical keyboard and that’s easy to believe considering it manages to pack Kailh Brown switches and full N-key rollover alongside media keys and customisable lighting effects powered by red LEDs.

Specification:

  • Switch: Kailh Brown mechanical
  • LED colour: Red
  • Number of keys: 104
  • Anti-ghosting: N-Key rollover via USB
  • Cable Length: 1.8M (6’)
  • Approximate Dimensions: (LxWxH) 220x458x44mm
  • Approximate Weight: 1.1 kg / 2.42 lbs.
  • 8 Multimedia Keys
  • Interface: x1 USB
  • Warranty: Two years

Patriot Viper V560 Mouse Review https://www.kitguru.net/tech-news/featured-tech-reviews/damien-cox/patriot-viper-v560-mouse-review/ https://www.kitguru.net/tech-news/featured-tech-reviews/damien-cox/patriot-viper-v560-mouse-review/#respond Wed, 24 Jan 2018 09:52:15 +0000 https://www.kitguru.net/?p=350405 Patriot has kept its build as premium as possible with Omron switches, a Sonix MCU, and an Avago ADNS9800 laser sensor

The post Patriot Viper V560 Mouse Review first appeared on KitGuru.]]>
As just about every manufacturer has entered the peripheral game, it’s becoming more and more difficult to stand out while catering to all ends of the market. Patriot’s Viper line has already proven itself to contend with the best thanks to its feature-packed V570 flagship, but does the V560 have what it takes to edge its way into the mid-range market?

Compared to its big brother, the Patriot Viper V560 Mouse sports a relatively traditional design, swapping out the extra buttons for a minimalistic style akin to other mice on the market. Despite toning things down on the outside, however, Patriot has kept its build as premium as possible with Omron switches, a Sonix MCU, and an Avago ADNS9800 laser sensor, all while keeping the price at a low $39.99.

Specifications

  • Connectivity Technology: Wired
  • Tracking: Laser Sensor
  • OS Support: Windows® 10
  • Dimensions: (WxHxD) 80 x 47 x 128 mm
  • Weight: 193 grams (up to 222.4g with weights)
  • Resolution: 8,200 DPI
  • Interface: USB
  • Contents: 1 x Viper instruction manual, 7 x adjustable weights, 2 x Patriot Viper stickers
  • Ceramic foot pads
  • RGB LEDs
  • 9 programmable macro keys

This is actually surprisingly very good, read on for more

While Patriot isn’t well established in the peripheral market, its flagship set of mice have already proven that the Viper gaming line can contest with the best. Its high-end Viper V770 keyboard comes in with a plethora of features that has it coined as a potential flagship killer, while attempting to add its own flavour to the mix for good measure, but does it have what it takes to dethrone the Corsair K70?

Immersing itself in overwhelming RGB, you’d be forgiven for thinking that the Viper V770 is just another mechanical gaming keyboard with nothing new to add to the scene. Patriot has, in fact, hit the drawing board with this one, packing in more features than you can shake a stick at.

 

Specification:

  • Switch: Kailh Red mechanical
  • LED colour: Per-Key Full 16.8m RGB
  • Number of keys: 108
  • Anti-ghosting: N-Key rollover via USB
  • Macro Keys: 5
  • Cable Length: 1.8M (6’)
  • Approximate Dimensions: (LxWxH) 229x459x39mm
  • Approximate Weight: 1.4 kg / 3.1 lbs.
  • Dedicated Media Keys
  • USB Pass-through
  • Audio Pass-through
  • Interface: x2 USB, Audio input, microphone input
  • Warranty: Two years

Patriot Viper V570 and V570 Blackout Edition Mouse Review https://www.kitguru.net/peripherals/mouse/damien-cox/patriot-viper-v570-and-v570-blackout-mouse-review/ https://www.kitguru.net/peripherals/mouse/damien-cox/patriot-viper-v570-and-v570-blackout-mouse-review/#respond Tue, 07 Nov 2017 14:40:45 +0000 https://www.kitguru.net/?p=350403 On the look for a new mouse? These Patriot mice are actually rather good indeed.

The post Patriot Viper V570 and V570 Blackout Edition Mouse Review first appeared on KitGuru.]]>
Over the years, we've reviewed many Patriot memory kits, with the brand more often than not proving itself to be a viable contender, even in a competitive market place. Since the company has expanded into the peripheral market, we turn our attention to the flagship Viper V570 and V570 Blackout mice. Do they have what it takes to break into the already saturated FPS and MMO market?

While Patriot has played it safe in the past, the Viper V570 and V570 Blackout Edition sport a more ambitious design, relying on extreme contours to improve ergonomics and stand out aesthetically among competition. There's a lot of promise starting at a retail price of $59.99, touting features that would often be seen nearing the $80+ mark, but let's not get ahead of ourselves just yet.

Specifications

  • Connectivity Technology: Wired
  • Tracking: Laser Sensor
  • OS Support: Windows® 10
  • Dimensions: (WxHxD) 80 x 44 x 133 mm
  • Weight: 152.9 grams (up to 182.3g with weights)
  • Resolution: 12,000 DPI
  • Interface: USB
  • Contents: 1 x Viper instruction manual, 7 x adjustable weights, 2 x Patriot Viper stickers
  • Ceramic foot pads
  • Multi-zone customisable RGB LEDs
  • 13 programmable macro keys
