As part of their IFA Berlin reveals last week, Acer also revealed that their Predator line up of gaming devices is getting some big updates and unlike the Nitro range, is offering something for all.

The devices include a new screen, new laptop, two new desktops and the device we are starting with, a new keyboard. The details below include tech specs where applicable, but the product descriptions we have entered in exactly as Acer provided them to us.

Predator Aethon 550 TKL

Built for gamers who seek accuracy, adaptability, and style, the Predator Aethon 550 TKL keyboard is a level-up to any gaming station. Its tri-mode technology - featuring wired, Bluetooth-enabled, and 2.4 GHz connectivity - enables effortless device switching, and is backed by impressive battery life of up to 150 hours3. Hot-swappable switches (available in blue and red options) and interchangeable WASD keycaps offer tactile feedback and personalisation to cater to tailored playstyles. The 80% tenkeyless (TKL) layout saves on desk space without compromising functionality, while per-key RGB lighting brings immersive, customizable illumination to any battle station – and is compatible with Windows Dynamic Lighting for seamless personalization across devices.
