THE VIPER V770

Even without the magnetic palm rest the Viper V770 is a medium sized keyboard measuring 495mm in length, 168mm in width and 39mm in height.

The V770 features a floating key design layout which allows for easier cleaning of the keys.

The Viper logo is placed on the upper right corner right beneath the volume control knob (increase/mute/decrease).

Five dedicated macro keys are placed on the far left side of the keyboard.

You can control the different lighting effects and the brightness levels from the 8 keys just over the F row. F1 through F5 and F12 on the other hand can be used to record custom lighting profiles.

Next to the volume control knob Patriot has also placed three dedicated multimedia paddle switches used to Play/Pause, Stop, Next/Previous Screen and Next/Previous Track.

Via the page up and page down keys you can control the speed of various effects while from the arrow keys you can control their motion.

Here we see the Kailh Red RGB mechanical switches.

An RGB LED strip and a USB passthrough port are placed on the left side of the keyboard while a 3.5mm audio passthrough port and an RGB LED strip are placed on the right side.

There are 6 rubber feet and two height adjusters at the base of the V770.

These height adjusters are somewhat short and thus they raise the top end of the keyboard roughly 9mm from your desk.

In order to give the magnetic palm rest RGB illumination Patriot has placed a 5 pin gold plated connector at the front of the keyboard.

With the palm rest attached the width of the V770 increases to 229mm.

The 1.9 meter long braided cable has two gold plated USB ports and two gold plated 3.5mm plugs on its end.

Here you can see the default RGB effect both from the top and the side.
