Patriot Viper V560 Mouse Review

Rating: 7.5.

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.

KitGuru Games: DLSS 5 misses the point

It would be hard to argue that NVIDIA’s DLSS technologies haven’t been a net positive to the PC space, with the machine-learning based upscaler successfully translating lower resolution inputs into a final image which is perceivably sharper while hogging fewer resources. Though somewhat more contentious, the next evolution of DLSS came in the form of Frame Generation, using ML in order to generate additional frames for high-refresh rate gaming. Both techniques can have their issues, but generally speaking they’ve allowed for more people to experience higher-end titles at increased frame rates. DLSS 5, however, takes a sharp pivot, with a very different end goal in mind than the performance-boosting versions that came before.
