Pros & Cons
Pros
Comes with what appears to be cherry blue clones. The blue switches are outstanding with a very satisfying rebound and great click to them. They are extremely clicky, but that's to be expected with blues. The red switch feels identical to a cherry mx ... Read More
The keyboard features multiples modes and intensities of backlighting. Adjusting the backlighting is easy, using an oddly-placed function key. The keys are dark, the lettering not especially bold, and backlighting definitely helps here. The keyboard a... Read More
The acer predator aethon 330 is a solid 60% compact mechanical keyboard. Its a very solid feel and has essentially no flex to it. The exterior construction is all plastic, but it doesn't feel light or cheap.
Positives:- connector cable is thick and sturdy, doesn’t feel cheap. Allows you to lock the whole keyboard along with locking the window keys through a function key to prevent accidental inputs.
Cons
Acer's first offering from the brand was a let-down. The spacebar is the worse, doesn't even have foam inserts, it all sounds so rattly. Buy litterally anything else.
The link that the packaging gives you to download the software only redirects to acers main page. Upon installing that, it recognizes the keyboard but only addresses a small section of the keys. After trying different ports, reinstalling the software ... Read More

The biggest con of this keyboard is the keys are saudered to the board making them nonswappable without knowing how to sauder m... Read More
Price
• a bit pricey, but we love it and have definitely gotten tons of use out of it.
Overall, i love this product, but it's only getting four stars solely based on the list price of almost $100.
At this price point, seems silly not to have that ability.
I think the current cost of $50 is a bit steep, and i would wait for it to go on sale.
Shipping
This product arrived quickly and in minimal packaging.
Packaging/appearance
The box was huge for such a small order and they didn’t even protected the keyboard with packaging or paper.
The box was open and untaped, folded the top of the box instead of taping it for security.
As for the packaging from amazon, 100 percent trash.
I thought maybe it was heavy packaging or something (which would be kinda strange) but no it was the keyboard.
Competitiveness
I have some experience with mx blue and have since switched to mx red but the kailh blue is probably the best mx blue competito... Read More
Kailh switches have come a long way over the past decade or so, and in a lot of ways, these cherry mx 'clones' have grown to ri... Read More
Also, there is no "mac" mode switch, although unknown brands often manage to provide this!
Which to me is quite weird that acer would decide to release a gaming keyboard using what is arguably the "least gamery switch".
