Final Words and Conclusion

Final Words & Conclusion

Overall the Patriot Viper V765 is a good mechanical keyboard. You get quality switches, configurable RGB backlighting, a rubberized wrist rest, programmable keys with a macro function, and multimedia buttons + a volume roller. One of the drawbacks is that the anti-ghosting works with up to eight keys, which might not be enough for some users. The Kailh White Box switches are classified as gaming switches by Patriot, but they’re quite hard and they’re actually better for typing. If you want to use the Viper V765 for games, the Red version is a better choice. The price is right, and USD 99 is good value for this product. There’s also a touch of elegance, because of the aluminum chassis. The Viper V765 has a good, soft wrist rest. The braided cable is also a positive side (and it’s not stiff). The volume wheel has a bit of resistance to it. The keycaps are made from ABS, but this is practically the standard solution in this price range.

Conclusion

The pricing is quite reasonable (99 USD) and end users will be pleased with the overall package and design. You need to remember that the White version of Kailh switches is the “typing” version, and if you’re more interested in gaming, then you should select the Reds. The market for mechanical keyboards is very crowded (and it’s still expanding), but this Patriot product still has some features that might make you want to choose it over the competition. The Guru3D Recommendation award is based on the overall quality and the feature set. The aesthetics are fine, the quality leaves nothing to be desired (aluminum), you can set the RGB lighting as you wish (but there’s no sync with other RGB systems), and there are multimedia keys with a volume roller on top of that. You also get a 2-year warranty, and with the USD 99 price tag, this really is an interesting offer. The Patriot Viper V765 deserves our Guru3D Recommended product award.
