THE VIPER V760

Just like most full sized keyboards the 1230g heavy Viper V760 is also not small so it measures 466mm in length, 152mm in width and 40mm in height.

The enclosure is not 100% made out of aircraft grade aluminum but even so build quality is excellent.

1 through 6 also double as media keys (Play/Pause, Previous, Next, Mute, Volume Down/Up), F1 through F5 can also be used to switch between the available profiles and finally F6 through F12 can be used to rotate between available illumination effects (the -/+ keys are also the brightness level keys).

You can enable/disable game mode (windows lock) from the print screen button (you can reset the keyboard from the pause break button).

The speed of the effects can be adjusted by the page up and down keys.

I was surprised to see that you can also change the direction of the effects with the arrow keys (always by also using the FN key).

The USB pass-through port is placed on the right front of the keyboard.

At the base of the keyboard we see 5 rubber feet and two rubber coated height adjusters.

These raise the keyboard roughly 13mm from the desktop.

Right now i don't recall ever testing a keyboard that came with a magnetic palm wrest but this makes things extremely easy.

With the palm rest attached the keyboard measures 203mm in width.

Here we see the Kailh brown mechanical switches.

Patriot has equipped the Viper V760 with a 1.55mm braided cable and two gold plated USB plugs (color coded according to their job - data/power).
