Absolutely love this dart 🎯 board for the house. Worth the money

I used these and cut to fit and doubled them up for screen protection.https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08HSH2JMK?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_titleI hung this on the wall to protect it from the darts:https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0D32P134X?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title&th=1I got these lights and a transformerhttps://www.amazon.com/dp/B07577TTWM?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title&th=1And this laser line and transformerhttps://www.amazon.com/dp/B00FRMHZJA?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title&th=1https://www.amazon.com/dp/B06X9MR9XT?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_titleI was able to put all the wiring in the wall and make the installation nice and clean.We found the included darts work well for my wife and I.Love the fact the flights are fixed and don't fall out.We have very few bounce out, but then again we got some premium tips to put on the included darts. They are much stiffer and don't bend much.https://www.amazon.com/Viper-Dart-Accessory-Tufflex-Thread/dp/B003ZZ1DHG/ref=sr_1_2_sspa?crid=3QCH56UTO1LNJ&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.vYUsR2yn9tljTjm6VutOHhOcQv-p_4V2wTrIthpT4-Wfy4sdN39BrMWl-g74hVQymXEdyLlo7eUQI_PbaBUdk2-PsDmV8WoWCBPhxG7kk_-kPsgHwCKzYrpCY0SqyILw9FQy1Ko8e_DwTIUWcFVU6GgA1UR2atxzM4yo8WyNnGuzjCMNeSVyGBjD6oPTSUO7RIfliPimD24th4IwLJ6iVgVfHIoJa7Ld19-FPlWozZo_S7sI4PDznD9j8AJlTjxja71nARMFVvqE38XKRtXm1nE40adhQNxJI3_dj3fN00g.R3RdSpFDpb-gFH0GDkJtKR2AlNRODC-2Zy3H6li88s8&dib_tag=se&keywords=plastic%2Bdart%2Btips&qid=1738162145&s=sporting-goods&sprefix=plastic%2Bdart%2Btips%2Csporting%2C141&sr=1-2-spons&sp_csd=d2lkZ2V0TmFtZT1zcF9hdGY&th=1&psc=1The dart board works great, the only thing I don't like is that the Quick cricket game, only has double bulls for both bull rings. If you want it to count single and double bulls you have to go into the menus and select a different cricket game every time.. It's no big deal, but we thought ours was broken...All and all a great board.BTW I made an extension for the light as it's not designed for this type of install.

This board is durable and reliable. I play the basic games like cricket and 301. You can also play against the computer and pick the level of play. That's cool. (We aren't speaking at the moment). The only caveat is that the LED screens will crack if you hit them.. and you will. I advise leaving the shipping film on even though directions state to remove. Since I removed, I put a strip of shipping tape across the digital board. When the board is turned on, you can't see the cracks at all. The volume has a few levels. I wish it went one more level lower, but no big deal. I really like the board though. It takes a beating.

The media could not be loaded. I purchased the Viper 850 as a replacement for my Viper 777. I had the 777 for less than a year, but was pretty hard on that board, to include throwing the darts too hard and using a tool incorrectly to remove broken tips from the board. The tool punched the tips through the board to the back, in between the sensor and the part where the darts “stick” after being thrown. Eventually, the sensors stopped working properly and I decided it was time for a new, hopefully better, board. This review will focus largely as a comparison between the 850 and the 777, which I hope you will find useful in determining which dart board you will ultimately end up buying, even if it is not the 850 (or the 777, for that matter).After much research, I ultimately decided to purchase the Viper 850. My reasons for choosing this board were mainly threefold:1) It has a much better scoreboard than the 777 – You can see 4 player scores at once, instead of just 2, like with the 777. This appealed to me greatly as I often have visitors over to play darts with me.2) It has segments made of “High Grade Nylon” instead of just plastic, like the 777. I’m hoping that this means it will last longer and be more resistant to tips getting broken off after hard throws. I have trained myself not to throw so hard (NOTE: It even says in the manual not to throw with “excessive force”), and I don’t break tips nearly as often as I once did. However, I still have some friends that get a little overzealous and throw like they are a Major League Baseball pitcher, trying to hurl 106 Mph fastballs down the middle for strikes (Bullseyes).3) It comes with an AC adapter and doesn’t require batteries, unlike the 777 board did. I think you can purchase an AC adapter for the 777 board (Maybe?) but this one comes with one automatically, unlike the 777 board, and that was a big plus for me. However, if you don’t have access to power, this may actually be a con for you and you may prefer a board that can operate off of batteries instead.4) Bonus reason: Because I bought another VIPER board, the holes for installation were exactly the same, so installation of the new board where the old board used to be was very easy.The price of the board helped, but there are competing boards that sell for the same price, which made the price a bit of a wash, to me anyway.I’ve had the board now for a week and this is what I like and don’t like about the board thus far . . .Pros: At first, I couldn’t tell the difference between the “High Grade Nylon” of the 850 as compared to the plastic of the 777. However, now that I’ve been throwing on it for a week (every day), I can tell the difference and I definitely like the 850 better.The Scoreboard is a definite improvement over the 777 and I really like it a lot. It’s easier to see and it displays more player scores at one time (4 vice 2).Maneuvering through the game menus is improved over the 777, too. With the 777 board, it wasn’t as intuitive for setting up games with certain attributes, most notably, the Double Bull option of the ’01 and Cricket games. In the league that I’m in, both Bulls Eye Rings count for 50 points for ’01, but not for Cricket. You can set the 777 up to do that, but it’s not as easy to figure out. The 850 takes the guess work out of it and makes it easy to configure the game to count the Bulls Eye for 50/50 or 25/50 (outer ring/inner dot).Although I haven’t tried using it yet, the 850 also allows for setting up handicaps and saving games, too. I don’t believe the 777 has that feature built in to it. So that’s nice for stat heads, if you’re into that. Also, on the note of stats, at the end of the game, the board will tell you your stats for the match, I.E. Points Per Dart (PPD) for an ’01 game or Marks Per Round (MPR) for Cricket. For guys like me that are in a league, those are nice little bonus points in favor of the 850 board over the 777 board, which didn’t do that for me.Cons: Bounce outs occur more often than I would have expected. Now, the “spider web” that divides the segments is a bit on the wide side, which may contribute to some of the bounce outs. Also, “Robin Hood” darts, I.E. hitting one dart with another dart, are not the fault of the board, in my opinion. Still, I’ve watched darts hit the board and bounce out a bit more than I would have expected. Another factor with this is maybe I’m actually throwing too softly now? If that’s possible…? I do that because of the high rate at which I used to break tips AND because my arm was getting sore from throwing darts ‘cause I was throwing too hard before. So with this, your mileage may vary, depending on your own , personal throwing style.Right now, that’s really the only con for the board that I have. Aside from that, I’m extremely happy with this purchase and glad that I upgraded from the 777 to the 850. I have included photos and a short video. The video is a short example of how the board operates for setting up a standard Cricket game. There’s also a Quick Cricket button that you can push and you don’t have to navigate through all the menu items, but I felt that showing how to set up a Cricket game would be the most beneficial for a quick video. Hopefully it helps with your buying decision.With that being said, if I could give the board 4.5/5 stars, I would. I would take off .5 stars for the bounce outs, but not a full star since there are too many variables to consider, and some of those variables are probably not the fault of the board. However, since I can’t choose 4.5 stars, I will give it 4/5 for the sake of the Amazon Rating system.On a side note: I also purchased the Viper Shadow Buster Dartboard Mounted Display Light and installed it over the new board and will be reviewing it here on Amazon, too. The light helps a lot in my Man Cave (Garage) for seeing the board and throwing darts once the sun goes down.
