Viper V550

At the start of 2019, we stopped by the Patriot Viper suite at CES 2019. When we were there, they had their upcoming gaming mice, including the Viper V550. After a few months wait, it’s finally here in the eTeknix office, and we can’t wait to put it through its paces! It comes with their more modern and grown-up design vs their previous rather over the top gamer designs of the previous models. Furthermore, it not features an ambidextrous design, improved RGB lighting effects, a new optical sensor and much more. Plus, with Viper constantly proving they can deliver great peripherals are market-beating prices, it seems we’re off to a strong start here.

As a child still in my 30's (but not for long), I spend my day combining my love of music and movies with a life-long passion for gaming, from arcade classics and retro consoles to the latest high-end PC and console games. So it's no wonder I write about tech and test the latest hardware while I enjoy my hobbies!
