Keep the Acer Predator Aethon 500 if it came with your new Acer PC; otherwise, you could do much better for the same price.
The price is high, but Acer's Predator Aethon 500 mechanical gaming keyboard may find an audience with typists and gamers alike who prefer the tactile and clicky feel of Kailh Blue switches over those made by Cherry.
Bare minimum
Acer's Predator Aethon 500 isn't a bad value-add for pre-built PCs, but its $180 price tag is steep for a Kailh Blue-equipped keyboard with some very strange design choices.
A premium feel and a premium price don't quite add up to a premium experience, but it's still a good keyboard.
