Patriot Memory Viper V570 RGB Blackout Gaming Mouse Review

Others/Mice & Keyboards by stefan @ 2019-08-02

After configuring the mouse with our preferences via software, we went ahead and fired up some missions in Guild Wars 2; the Avago ADNS 9800 laser sensor performed admirably, despite the lower maximum DPI value supported versus the optical high-end sensors we have seen with other mice. Thanks to the use of ceramic feet, which do allow the mouse to move on the surface with almost no friction at all, the V570 Blackout is very easy to operate, even with its initial weight of 152.9 grams.

A Closer Look Part II

Right on the top area, we can see that the manufacturer has chosen to use no less than three types of finishes: rubberized areas for a better grip, shiny black surfaces in the middle but also textured plastic on the curved back:

Here is how the textured black plastic area does look; as a separation between it and the shiny black plastic logo, we do have a rubberized cover for the weight system:

 

 

 

The V570 Blackout is noted as a MMO-FPS hybrid, due to the positioning of the buttons on the left side; we have no less than five programmable buttons in the top area, but also a longer, Sniper button and a very comfortable curved portion in order to rest your thumb finger. A RGB segment can be seen travelling from the frontal area of the mouse to the rear:

 

 

 

On the left of the left click button, we do have two more programmable buttons, a similar feature we have seen with the CORSAIR NIGHTSWORD RGB gaming mouse:

 

 

 

The right side of the mouse was designed as a rest area, with no additional interfaces:

 

 

 

Two additional RGB segments are available in the front:

 

 

 

If we do flip the mouse over, we will get to see an area with more information about the product such as the serial number or power rating. The Avago ADNS 9800 laser sensor lens are also present here along with one unique feature, which is the ceramic foot pads instead of PTFE feet:
