Expanding into peripherals
Make no mistake, Patriot has power users in mind with its new product releases, several of which it brought to Computex. That includes new high capacity RAM options -- namely, 64GB and even 128GB kits of Viper 4 DDR4 RAM sporting 14-16-16-31 timings and running at 2400MHz. Such high capacities are going to be overkill for most users, though RAM isn't the only thing Patriot had on display.
Patriot is making a concerted effort to become a player in the gaming peripheral market. Towards that end, we also caught a glimpse of Patriot's new V760 Viper keyboard. It's a mechanical plank with 16.8 million LED color options. It also has a removable magnetic palm rest, a dozen multimedia keys, six programmable macro keys, and anti-ghosting support.
Also under the Viper line are a pair of mice, the V560 and V530. The V560 is a higher end rodent with an "extreme precision laser lens" that goes up to 8200 dpi. It's a weighted mouse with ceramic foot pads for easy gliding on various surfaces.
The V530 is more of a mid-range offering with an optical lens and up to 5000 dpi. Interestingly, Patriot views it as "an entry-level choice with advanced features for someone looking for a reliable backup." You know, in case your primary rodent gives up the ghost or gets chewed up by the dog (it happens, trust us).
Rounding out the Viper line of peripherals and accessories is a new headset, the V360. It offers 7.1 virtual surround sound along with an ergonomic ear cup design.
Moving on from there, Patriot showed off several storage products. One thing Patriot told us is that 60GB SSDs are largely being phased out in favor of bigger capacities. Check out what else Patriot had to say in the video below:
