ACER PREDATOR AETHON 500 GAMING MECHANICAL KEYBOARD
I suddenly associate that name with the Acer Predator Aethon 500 gaming keyboard because of my first impressions of pressing each key down: Sure, the weight, and the rigidity of each switch.
Anyway, Acer does not want this gaming empire to fall into the other’s hands, after all, he is a veteran in this world of technology play. A blood change is necessary for a system that is too old. Because it is not too surprising that a series of “war machines” was born, the first is the Acer Predator Thronos with the price of up to 10,000 USD, the second is the “flying fortress” Acer Predator 21X gaming laptop also has the same price range. Of course, the Aethon 500, Cestus 500, and Galea 500 will be the loyal entourage for this empire.
OVERVIEW AND DETAILS
Make a mark with the classics
Among the tons of other gaming keyboard rivals on the battlefield, the Acer Predator Aethon 500 chooses a safe path in design. Not out of intimidation but to choose points to highlight small details. Still the basic 104 keys, there are more multimedia “different people” and custom function keys (macros) on the left.
Featured areas at first sight:
– Macro sequence on the left
– The P key in the upper left corner
– WASD key is blue
– Multimedia cluster on the upper right corner
– Features integrated into 4 navigation keys
This series of macros has long been the focus of the problem of mistaken clicks, as the gaming world has “created” combat tools like a double-edged sword: Good war and easy to kill. Learning from the failures of many previous generations, this macro sequence was 1 cm instead of 0.5 cm away from the main 104 key areas. From there, the wrong click limit to 96.69%.
The frame around this macro sequence is beveled in diamonds as to “honor” the value of weapons for gamers (the navigation key area is also beveled. Diamond). Beautiful or not beautiful is up to the eye, but creating its mark with small details is clear.
The “P” key is the function to quickly switch Profile. The memory-onboard of Acer Predator Aethon 500 can save 5 settings (profiles) that gamers customize in the driver. If there is no need for macros, we can create 5 different RGB LED effect profiles.
The extremely elegant blue metallic WASD cluster that we see is the fact that the plastic key cover is painted in color. The good finish of this material makes us fooled into thinking it is a metal key from a distance.
Hard to say, because Acer The Predator Aethon 500 existed on the gaming gear battlefield not long enough to test the quality. This detail is just to once again confirm that the Aethon 500 wants to show itself on each such small mark.
Multimedia is the most prominent area of the keyboard interface thanks to the design quite similar to the shotgun bullet, including buttons Prev, Pause, Next, Mute, and Volume scroll. These are all normal buttons (not mechanical), the Aethon 500 has a little bit of savings in this regard. What to watch out for is the scrolling of the outer Volume that spills out of the keyboard frame.
The overflow length of the Volume roll helps us to use in two ways: Scroll up / down and hold the rotation at the tail. It’s convenient for every usage routine.
Features integrated into the 4 navigation keys activated by the key combination: FN + ↑ ↓ ← →
FN + → ←: Increase/decrease the intensity of the RGB backlight
FN + ↑ ↓: Increase / decrease the Volume
Strangely, there was a Volume scroll to increase or decrease the volume but the Aethon 500 still kept the key combination on. It is more reasonable to save for other functions instead of holding such inconvenient keystrokes.
Speaking of the FN key, according to a gaming design, the FN is in place of the left Windows key. The disadvantage is that the Win + D / E / R combinations … will be extremely inconvenient because you have to reach the Windows key on the right, the advantage is that you never press the wrong key to stop the game. Actually, the Win key feature has been around for a long time on other keyboard models and the Aethon 500 can also activate it with the FN + Win combination on the right, but placing the FN on the left is more careful (avoid even gamers forget to lock Win when entering the game).
The Predator logo is bordered below the keyboard instead of above the top. This war weapon is a bit modest in terms of fanfare.
